Looks like there may be an explaination for Lindsay Lohan’s bizzare behavior. Lohan was misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and then prescribed Adderall to treat the condition.
Dr. Joe Haraszti — a prominent L.A. addiction specialist — tells TMZ … people who take Adderall when they don’t need it can experience similar effects as people who use cocaine or methamphetamine.
Dr. Haraszti tells us … people who unnecessarily take Adderall can display manic symptoms … and often do things like “driving around until all hours of the morning … smoking heavily … tweeting … and texting all night long.” The doc adds, “They can become very impulsive.”
The doc also notes that people in that situation “might then complain of insomnia and then take Ambien or other sleep aids to help fall asleep … it’s a vicious cycle”
Dr. Marc Kern — another addiction expert — tells us alcohol abuse is also very common among patients who take Adderall.
Dr. Kern tells us, “The Adderall counteracts the sedative side effects of alcohol use … making these people often drink more than someone who does not take the drug.”
What does all this mean? Basically that Lindsay’s misdiagnosis could have caused a lot of her bizarre and compulsive behavior!
Which may be believable if there weren’t millions of pictures of Lindsay being drunk and partying with coke either in A) lines on the table in front of her, or B) all over her body!
I’m not a doctor and I’m not saying what this dr is saying can’t be true. But I am pretty certain it’s not correct in Lindsay’s case.
