EXCLUSIVE: Michael Lohan On Lindsay Quitting Prescription Meds: "It's Another Lie"
Posted on Jul 13, 2010 @ 04:20PM
Michael Lohan isn’t buying the new report that Lindsay has quit several of her prescription medications.
Lohan tells RadarOnline.com: “If it’s true, I couldn’t be happier. But I have no doubt that this is just another lie, spewing from Dina’s mouth.”
Lohan is, of course, talking about his ex-wife, Dina Lohan, who has been at Lindsay’s side since a judge sentenced her to 90 days in the slammer followed by 90 days in rehab.

A report citing a “source” claims Lindsay has stopped taking several of the prescription medications listed in her probation report, including the powerful painkiller Dilaudid.

Michael, along with his attorney Lisa Bloom, filed a letter with the court last week asking that Lindsay’s mandatory drug testing include prescription drugs.
While Michael admits someone can immediately stop taking Dilaudid, he says he is more than skeptical that his daughter has stopped taking her other medications (like the anti-depressants Zoloft and Trazodone) because those medications require a slow weaning process.

“You can’t just stop taking those medications,” Lohan told RadarOnline.com. “You have to be weaned off with a doctor’s supervision. The amount of meds she’s been on and the amount of time she’s been on them… she would definitely need medical supervision. So no, I don’t think she has stopped.”
According to the internet report, a source close to Lindsay says the troubled starlet only takes Adderall and Nexium right now, and that she rarely takes Nexium (taken for acid reflux) every day and takes the Adderall because she was diagnosed with ADD years ago.

DrCraine? Are you trying to convince us you're a real doctor and don't just play one on ROL? Just wondering since you typed Dr and MD. It's not working for me. You're a pretty good Googler but that's about it.

If he's trying to name play off Kelsey Grammer's character he's spelling it wrong.

Adderall is a wonder drug for patients that truly need it. We are realizing that patients who self medicated with illegal stimulants like cocaine were really "medicating". Proper doses of adderall can curb illegal stimulant use.

Holy...I didn't thin k Lindsay's pharmacist would make an appearance here, but since your here I'd like to ask you a question. What are you going to do now since your little cash cow--er-- I mean patient isn't going to be around now?

Adderall has a high level of abuse. Are you an addiction specialist? You haven't evaluated Lindsay Lohan to know if she has ADD or not! Your as qualified as her father to make a judgment.

and yet you all haven't evaluated her either and automatically assume she doesn't have add and automatically assume she is abusing adderall. none of you are qualified to make that judgement either.

LMAO! You don't think there's anything wrong with her period. Dumbazz.

Finally, Adderall is a drug that works fantastic in people that lack the dopamine levels needed for optimal brain function. A person that does not have these ADD or OCD issues will get a "high" from the stimulant, but an ADD or OCD person will not.

I can assure you as a physician that receiving more than 20 days worth of a schedule II narcotic such as Dilaudid would be very difficult. Unless she has liver problems and can not take medication like Vicodin or Percocet that contains tylenol.

Dilaudid is 8-10 times more powerful than morphine but much less addictive and much safer because it's synthetic. If Ms. Lohan is prescribed Dilaudid for oral surgery this means she has recently been on recent prior opiate therapy (e.g Vicodin)
