In a round-about way doctors are confirming what we’ve known for years, Lindsay Lohan is addicted to Adderall, a common prescription stimulant people use to keep slim and be productive (emphasis on the slim part).
It’s an amphetamine, basically speed, but can medically be used to treat ADD. It’s a common racket for college students, people in high pressure jobs, and people who want help staying slender, to complain of ADD symptoms to get the drug.
The doctors at the UCLA rehab facility think that Lindsay was “misdiagnosed” with ADD, and say that the Adderall is what caused all of her crazy behavior over the years.
Like any addiction to amphetamines, Adderall abuse can cause high-strung, erratic behavior. If you want a good demonstration of that behavior, watch Spun.
