Amanda Bynes Addicted To Adderall: Involuntary Psychiatric Hold Extended? Parents Fight For Conservatorship

Amanda Bynes may have been addicted to Adderall for years after, which had made her paranoia worse.

According to RadarOnline, Bynes "has been demanding that doctors give her Adderall, which they are refusing to do. Amanda has been on Adderall for years for Attention Deficit Disorder. Like many other young women in Hollywood, Amanda took the drug to stay thin."

Days after the actress tried to set a woman's driveway ablaze; the "All About You" star was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold.  While taking the ADD drug, she may had made her mental illness worse, "The problem with someone like Amanda dealing with serious mental health issues, is that Adderall can make their condition worse. For Amanda, this has meant increased paranoia."

 According to RadarOnline, Amanda's parents are scared for their daughter's life and are planning to take the necessary steps in Ventura County Wednesday. The actress parents are worried that Bynes may harm herself and people around her after she set a small fire on a woman's property and covered her dog with gasoline. Authorities apprehended Bynes and placed her on a 72 Hour evaluation at a mental hospital.

If Amanda's parents are granted conservatorship she won't be the only celebrity being watched over by her parents. During Britney Spears mental break down after losing custody of her children, her father was granted to be the singer's conservatorship. The California law states: "The proposed conservator must show that the conservatee is is unable to care for themselves, and is a danger to others."

A RadarOnline source revealed about what Bynes' parents will face in their legal quest. "When Britney's father got conservatorship of her," Spears displayed a great scare that she would harm herself "and this made it much easier for the judge to sign off on it."

The source added, "In this case, Rick and Lynn [Bynes] are going to need to show that Amanda's life is in danger if they don't step in and take action. Just because Amanda is exhibiting signs of schizophrenia doesn't mean the judge will sign off on the temporary conservatorship." The insider explained, "Her parents will also reveal in their petition that Amanda's pants were burned when she started a small fire in a driveway using gasoline. Her dog was also drenched in gas. Her parents are afraid if they aren't given control of her life, she will die."
