Lindsay Lohan, who's in her fourth stint of drug rehab after serving 14 days of a 90-day jail sentence for parole violations, can't wait to get out of rehab so she can work out.

"[Lindsay is] dying to exercise!" a source told TMZ on Aug. 20, 2010. Interestingly, Lohan, 24, wasn't given permission to use the gym at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Hospital, where she has been since being released from jail Aug. 2.

Lindsay, who previously admitted she had gotten too skinny a few years ago, is reportedly staying fit by doing push-ups and sit-ups in her room every day. Meanwhile, sources claim that Lohan may have been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and methamphethamine addiction.

In rehab, Lindsay has reportedly been "weaned off" all six of the prescription medications she was previously taking, including Dilaudid (pain medication), Ambien (sleep aid), Adderall (ADHD medication), Zoloft (anti-depressant), Trazodone (antidepressant) and Nexium (acid reflux).

Doctors concluded that Lohan does not have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and should not have been prescribed Adderall.

People who unnecessarily take Adderall can experience effects similar to those taking cocaine or methamphetamine, says addiction specialist Dr. Joe Haraszti, such as "driving around until all hours of the morning, smoking heavily, tweeting and texting all night long. They can become very impulsive."

    Great article!

    I do hope all this helps her this time around, this girl has been way out of control. We would not want to see a bad ending to a talented young woman like this.

    If only after this she could do some give back to the community work, with kids or the homeless maybe she can find a better reason to stay clean.

    Lindsay now that you have been weaned off drugs, please stay off!
