Lindsay Lohan is “safely ensconced” in rehab at long last. She’s been annoying the hell out of all of us with her rehab hopping but now that she’s in one, it may be time to leave her alone. She’s now getting criticized for how she handles withdrawal in a rehab center. From Radaronline:
The actress looks extremely haggard, her face is bloated, and it doesn’t look like she has brushed her hair in days. She looks very disheveled and has absolutely no energy since docs took away the Adderall.
I mean, come ON, she’s in rehab, she doesn’t have to look red carpet ready. And even if Lohan was abusing Adderall, withdrawal still sucks. For the record, she claims she legitimately needed it, telling Piers Morgan,
I have severe ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). I can’t stand still. So I take Adderall (a prescription drug) for that, it calms me. I know people who take it to stay up, or girls who take it to supposedly stay slim because it kills your appetite. But I eat all the time. I just take it to stay calm. It works well for me.
I don’t know. I guess i’m just starting to feel like it’s time to let her be, at least until she tries to escape again.
When you have ADD Adderall calms you down. If you stop using it you become nervous and shaky, not slow and tired. Judging by her symptoms she is full of crap and doesn’t have ADD; she would be hyper/nervous/shaky instead of slow and tired.
We probably should cut the girl a little slack, since she’s getting court-ordered help for her addictions, but let’s be real. If she quit doing coke, I doubt she’d need the Adderall to “calm down”.
I love it when folks come together and share thoughts.
Great blog, continue the good work!
