Locklear’s meltdown fuelled by killer drug cocktail?

-

Heather Locklear’s recent string of meltdowns — already fuelled by a killer drug cocktail that included Valium, cocaine and Vicodin — were made more violent by a frightenin­g new chaser: the attention deficit disorder drug Adderall.

A source close to the addiction-addled vixen claimed exclusivel­y to RadarOnlin­e.com that the 56-year-old actresss would mix Adderall pills with alcohol.

“She couldn’t be stopped!” said the source.

Medical experts believe the hopped-up star’s menu of drugs explains her insane behaviour. Worse, the mixture poses a lifethreat­ening crisis.

“You should never mix these drugs,” warned Dr. Stuart Fischer, who has not treated Heather. “When people take stimulants and depressant­s at the same time, they are unaware of the side effects of each.

“In combinatio­n, they cause manic medical and psychiatri­c disturbanc­es. They can lead to potentiall­y fatal cardiac-rhythm disturbanc­es.”

Sources said she was downing Adderall like Pez.

“She would take double — or even triple — her daily dose,” revealed the source. “She’d run out of a week-long prescripti­on in a few days and either freak out or just sleep.”

Dr. Fischer warned, “If they were fuelled by drugs, episodes like those that Heather have suffered are medical in nature — not psychiatri­c.

“She needs to be weaned off of both.”
