I've Gots The ADD, Y'All!

Filed under: Britney Spears

wenn1663236.jpg

Britney Spears' lawyers are going to argue that she has ADD and it is her medication for that which made her fail a recent drug test.

Her attorneys are going to battle it out with K-Fed's on Friday, the 16th.

Earlier in the week, Brit's camp tried to blame the failed test, which came back positive for an amphetamine, on Provigil, which she reportedly takes. While that drug has amphetamine-like results, it's not an amphetamine and wouldn't show up as such on a drug test. Neither would Albuterol, the asthma medication that Spears reportedly takes. It can help ya lose weight if you don't have asthma, but it's not an amphetamine.

Brit Brit sure does take a lot of prescription meds!

Adderal is used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder and Spears is reportedly on that. Adderal could cause one to test positive for amphetamines on a drug test.

Adderal is also used by college students and Hollywood types that don't have ADD to stay awake and lose weight. It's pretty much crack in a pill!

K-Fed's lawyers wanna keep cracked out Britney from driving with the kids in the car. And that sounds like a good plan!

On Thursday night, Spears ran over yet another paparazzo.

Thankfully her kids weren't in the car.

    She is a crackhead and always will be. Completely lost all respect for her, if I even had any. Someone please allow her to NEVER see her kids again.

    I have nothing against Britney Spears, how could I? I don't even know her. I do know that I am sick of seeing her, hearing about her, reading about her everywhere. She is in the headlines while our soldiers are dying in the middle east, crimes are being committed, real news is happening and all we hear about is Britney Spears??

    Now my thoughts on her ADD. I think it's more like Bi-Polar. I also am sadly reminded of how many bogus prescriptions Anna Nicole had. How Ann eerily reached out to Britney to be friends while they were pregnant at the same time. I unfortunately think this girl is on her way out. Either by overdose or a fatal crash like Princess Di.

    26

    People who use METH often take adderal as well, esp when tested b/c if they have a prescription, they pass the test b/c they would test positive from the adderal so it's a get out a jail free card- if that makes any sense.

    just because she has used a stimulant doesn't mean she should have her children taken away forever. maybe for the time being until she cleans up her act and grows up. i mean she's still a child, look at her, she always looks lost, she acts so immature & she's taking children's ADD medication! she just needs help, i feel horrible for her. the industry tossed her into this crazy world when she was a kid, and now it has spit her out.

  31. ko says – reply to this

    When you take a drug test you list on the form what prescription meds you are on. YOU DO NOT FAIL A DRUG TEST if a drug is found and you have a prescription for it!!
    As a celebrity, and a mom in danger of losing her kids, she would be an idiot to NOT put down Adderall on the form if she had a genuine prescription for it!!
    Then again . . . this IS Britney!!!!

    Can't help but think. Anna Nicole was on a lot of prescription meds, too. Look where she ended up. This girl needs to be locked up in a mental hospital. She needs professional help. She does not belong anywhere around those kids, or driving a car, or anything else. If she is in court on all these other matters, and if the judge has already described her ans a habitual drug user, then the court should be able to intervene and make her go into a hospital. Her life is in danger.

    42

    lol I was on Adderall and it sucked! I lost too much weight and it really messed with my ADHD. It actually made it worse. However, I have never heard of anyone using the ADHD defense in a court case. Now that is just stupid. Admit her to the damn psych ward, not some cushy little rehab center. I am talking hospital gowns and NO LUXURY WHATSOEVER! She obviously has no appreciation for herself or her children. I think a psych ward stay for a few months would do her well. :)

    I wish she would accidently leave her car in drive and then drive over herself. I mean how can any authority let her drive in that condition, let alone with her kids. If she is on that many (i think its bullshit) mind altering drugs, how can they let her behind the wheel in the first place. Fuck her kids, what about other innocents on the road??? Come on!!!! Fucking suspend her lisense already!!!! One day she is gonna run over someone who isnt chasing her for a pic.

  45. california angel says – reply to this


    45

    Ya, dennis, i agree with you. It definetly explains her behaviour and that drug fits the symptoms that she has been exhibiting lately. It is truly sad, especially for people like us who have a bad history with it, because we know exactly how much it can ruin lives. I can't believe that her family and friends have let her go on like this for as long as they have. Ultimately, it is her own decision to be rid of that lifestyle, but it does help to have people there who are not part of that circle and encouraging her to get help. People have all been through similar things, but how would they like to have it all recorded on pictures and video? I can't imagine that.

    actually, adderall isn't 'crack in a pill' it definitely isn't as harsh and it helps with people who have difficulties concentrating. yes, you do loose weight on it even if it was prescribed to you. but it has many many benefits to using it. it definitely doesn't make you act you're on crack though!!!

    Worrying about a drug test is the least of her problems. She needs to figure out how she's going to get her act together and focus on being a good mother and role model to her children instead of doing all this other shit.

    She has tourettes. Remember the bodyguard reporting the noises she was making, and all that leaving the room suddenly. Don't forget the false nail that fell off at the awards show, the real nail under it was all gone. Give her the correct meds!

  57. emilee says – reply to this


    57

    Perez. I am prescribed to Adderall and I don't appreciate your comments on "crack" in a "pill." Some may abuse it, but don't make it seem like those who are legally allowed to take it are taking "crack in a pill." You make so many uneducated assumptions and comments, it makes you look ridiculous and ignorant.

    58

    I took adderall in college, lost about 15 lbs in a month, and was crazy. It makes you very scattered, and obsessive. I lost a lot of friends during that time because the mood swings are crazy. Sometimes you want to see people, other times you just want to organize stuff.

    maybe if the paps weren't all over her shit they wouldn't get run over.

    If she was taking adderal correctly, wouldn't it have showed in all her tests? Why is she just now telling what perscription drugs she takes? Wouldn't that be the first thing you do so nothing like this would happen? I don't believe it! She got caught and now her people are coming up with excuses. Lock this b- up!!! She should be arrested for putting her kids in all that danger!

    Notice we haven't had pictures of her at TacoBell or Starbucks lately???
    Meth….

    66

    Adderall and provigil both show up in the urine as amphetamine. A 9 panel, which im sure is what she has to take, tests for amphetamines as well as methamphetamines. Although she probably doesn't need the provigil, whoever said she was on meth needs to get their facts straight

    67

    Re: amber – umm, yes it does. I had friends on it illegally(if she was taking it legally she wouldn't have failed the test and it would have shown up on other tests). Maybe you're too old to know or just oblivious, but college students use this drug to keep themselves up all night for weeks even to study. It is prescription speed and really fucks people up. Know someone who has done it illegally before falsely stating that it is not that harsh, it is. It seriously scared me to see friends on it, they really do act like they are on crack, and even though they can study and remember everything, they are in an altered scary state of mind. It is just like seeing someone on speed. It is an unnecessary highly abused drug. It really does not have many many benefits, do you work for the drug company that makes money of this drug? Because it is addictive and horrible.

    I think Albuterol mixed with another medication could give a false read. As an Athsmatic i take the stuff and once tested positive for opiates… and I was like 8.

    Also. maybe brit has a master plan to get out of her record contract by becoming a complete unmarketable train wreck… i knwo I'm grasping at straws but nobody can be as fucking stupid as she's making herself look. And she's in on it with KFED to make him look better so that someone, anyone would buy his album. I don't know

    79

    JUST LIKE ANY PRESCRIPTION DRUG, YOU MORONS, ADDERAL IS COMPLETELY SAFE IF PROPERLY PRESRIBED. IF YOU OVERTAKE OR MISUSE THE DRUG, PRESCRIPTION OR NO PRESCRIPTION, OF COURSE IT WILL HAVE HARMFUL EFFECTS; AS ANY DRUG WOULD! THIS DRUG HAS SAFELY HELPED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, OBVIOUSLY ADDERAL THAT HAS, AS YOU SAY, "FUCKED PEOPLE UP", WAS BEING MISUSED. WHETHER BRITNEY IS MISUSING THE DRUG OR NOT, IT IS NOT FAIR FOR UNEDUCATED PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUCH NARROW MINDS TO AUTOMATICALLY GROUP THE DRUG WITH METH AND SPEED. ALTHOUGH SOME COMPONENTS OF THE DRUG ARE THE SAME, THERE ARE DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS AS WELL, LEADING TO AN ALL-AROUND DIFFERENT DRUG. PLEASE, IN THE FUTURE, SPEND YOUR TIME WISELY BEFORE POSTING IGNORANT THINGS. SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT CELEBS, BUT DON'T TALK ABOUT THE FACTS OF DRUGS, ETC. UNLESS YOU HAVE FULLY EDUCATED YOURSELF ABOUT THE PARTICULAR DRUG! ALSO, SAVE YOUR TIME IN SAYING (a legal type) DRUGS ARE HARMFUL- REALLY? THAT'S SOMETHING A 5TH GRADER WOULD SAY. OF COURSE ALL DRUGS ARE HARMFUL IF THEY ARE MISUSED! ADVIL COULD BE HARMFUL IF MISUSED, FOR GODSAKE! Thank you.

    Britney's life so far should be a warning to all the Tweens that are making millions upon millions… don't marry a lazy fuck that has no thought to get a job and help support any family you might have.

    In the end you will end up with the children you gave bith to or adopted, and the one you married !

    Please let a drug deal go bad or a bus hit Fedex .. but a nice job would be nice, so he would not try and suck Brit's account for $$ to support his need for undershirts & childsupport for his other kids.

    82

    Perez, you're doing a big disservice to people who legitimately use this medication. When taken as prescribed, it is not "crack in a pill"; your analogy that stimulants are crack is like me saying "all people with a pink webpage are fucking fat". And for everyone who says that Provigil shows up as amphetamine: NO! It has stimulant-like effects, but is not a "true" stimulant.

    Perez, go to medical school before expressing your "medical opinion" (and yes, I went to medical school). Oh yeah, BTW - it's spelled ADDERALL, not adderal .

    I am not standing up for britney and all of her problems.But if all those paparazzo would stop hounding her all 24 hours of the day just trying to see her screw up,just so it can be photo graphed and reported about,than perhaps maybe she wouldn't be in the news so much.After all if some paparazzo were on my ass as often as hers than i would get pissed off as well and make alot of stupid mistakes as well.Enough is enough leave her alone and let her screw up and fuck up her life like she wants to do if thats what makes her happy.I'm just surprised she has not commited suicide because of all the constant paparazzo hounding they do 24 hours a day.If any blame is to be delt out than the paparazzo are as much to blame for her fucked up life as her doing her own fucking it up.
