Lindsay Lohan: ADHD?

By Dr. Kenny Handelman

A recent article online reported that Lindsay Lohan has been given the right to take Adderall and Ambien. She is currently struggling with substance abuse and dependence, and apparently she has to go for regular drug screening. Court documents show that Lindsay has been prescribed Adderall – presumably for ADHD.

Does this mean that Lindsay has ADHD?

Most likely, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s unconfirmed.

It’s my hope that she can get good treatment for all of her current challenges, and get her life on track.

Best,

Dr. Kenny

    If Lindsay is on Adderall…she should not be drinking. According to a friend who was on Adderall she said if she would drink she would black out….maybe all the pictures of Lindsay in her drunken stupor is a result of drinking and being on adderall?

    Drinking + Amphetamines do not cause these “blackouts”.

    Drinking too much causes blackouts.

    Amphetamines simply raise the bar at which the effects of alcohol can overcome a person’s limit. Lohan has taken many more drugs other than adderall.

    Tell your friend she needs not to drink so much on Adderall as she most likely is dehydrated anyway which is only compounded by the effects of alcohol…its no wonder she’s blacked out before.

    This interesting, as I have heard ADHD can actually cause you to behave in a more volatile manner, maybe this could be a contributing factor to Lindsay’s very public ‘off the rails’ behavior? Obviously this could also be because of being a child star, it is very rare in Hollywood to see a child grow up in that kind of environment and actually stay on the ‘straight and narrow’.
