Shawn Johnson is counting on over the counter medications to offer her discomfort relief after inviting her 3rd kid.
OnDec 22, 10 days after providing birth by C-section to her and spouse Andrew East‘s kid Barrett “Beau” Madison East, the retired Olympic gymnast stated she declined narcotic discomfort drugs to assist her healing.
“They made me SO sick,” she composed on her Instagram Stories, “and frankly after being addicted to adderall it just scares me so I don’t even mess with it.”
Adderall, a mix of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine, is a medication normally recommended to deal with signs of attention deficit disorder (ADHD) or the sleep condition narcolepsy. The drug can be habit-forming, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
“During my comeback in 2010 I was prescribed adderall to ‘curb my appetite and give me more energy’ by a not good doctor,” Shawn composed on her InstagramStories “Fast forward 7 years of being heavily addicted to it and having it control me, when I finally freed myself of it I swore anything even remotely addictive I’d stay away from.”
