ADD Is What Ails Paris

Paris HiltonTMZ has learned that Paris Hilton suffers from extreme Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and claustrophobia, and these conditions may have triggered the Sheriff's decision to spring her from Lynwood Jail last week.

We're told Hilton is taking Adderall for her ADD. Although our sources were not specific, we're told Hilton was not receiving all of her medications at Lynwood. As a result, Hilton was having severe panic attacks in jail. There were times she was so debilitated, she could not push the panic button in her cell.

As for how she's doing today, she's depressed but not really crying. She has a pencil and a pad of paper and she's spending her time writing down her thoughts. We're also told she's losing weight -- although she's no Nicole Richie.

422. OK Babbs, You want a reaction, here it is: Put down the crack pipe, call someone for help and get checked into the psych ward. Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.

423. There are people dying in the county Jail from ailments such as Cancer and Liver disease, and they are not kept in the medical wing, only when they need treatments.

Why is Paris allowed to spend out her entire sentence for ADD and Panic Attacks? Give her some Ativan and send her back to her regular cell.

I'm telling you, the sheriff's department is making a mockery out of Los Angeles and the Judicial system and he's REALLY slapping that Judge in the face with these moves!

425. ADD? I very seriously doubt that. More like a paid off dr. to prescribe a drug known to be abused by adults. That's how all these girls get so thin. Hey I have ADD too, what's her dr.'s name?

429. She should fire every PR person who utters another word about this whole fiasco. The more they talk, the dumber they make her look -- and the more people are disgusted with her. Lesson to learn? There really is such a thing as bad publicity.

ADD? Come on. If that's the best you can do, then just keep silent and let people wonder. That'll spark more sympathy for her. I do want the girl to do the appropriate time, but I don't want her to curl up and die, like so many of you.

430. 17. Apparently you IDIOTS have NO idea what it's like to suffer from ADD - try putting a hyper puppy into a box and close the lid. Panic attacks are a common side affect of ADD.

She didn't seem to have any problems going to crowded closed in clubs. Maybe with all the drugs in her system with alcohol it helped her relax. Get Real!!! Everyday it is something different on what's wrong with paris. Now Baca really looks like an ASS. This is no reason for her to have been let out or in this private large cushy room. She needs to go back to her original cell. I don't believe she has any medical or mental problems. This is all a PR stunt. They keep changing things to find the one that puts paris in a good light. As you can see nothing seems to be working and never will. Were talking about paris here, known for what?

Give all the credit to PAID OFF BACA!!! It was his decision for her to be there and to stay there for the remaining of her so called sentence?

433. Adderall is not even prescribed for panic attacks. And a panic attack, which CAN be debilitating (but certainly not fatal) does not occur so suddenly that Parasite couldn't hit the "panic" button. I agree with Lynn and SickofCali. We should all get back to work on more important things.

434. hello? young women take adderall so that they can stay a size 0, not because they have ADD. nicole takes adderall too and so does rachel zoe.
i heard that's how they all stay thin so i went to my dr and told him i had ADD symptoms and he gave me adderall too. very easy. unfortunately it made my blood pressure skyrocket before i could lose weight and i had to go off of it.

435. YEA RIGHT SURE SHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DID SHE HAVE ADD ON THE SIMPLE LIFE OR WHEN SHE WAS DRUNK, SPEAKING OF WHICH I GUESS SHE WILL SAY THAT HER MEDS. INTERACTED WRONG WITH THE BOOZE. SHE SHOULD TAKE HER PUNISHMENT LIKE AN ADULT NOT LIKE A SPOILED BRAT. GROW UP PARIS!!!!!!!!!!
