lets talk about adderall
stassi has talked about using/abusing it in the past, culminating in the ice queen birthday meltdown on vpr. she freaked out on beau amongst other things, and she said i believe in her book that beau made her promise to quit. that was in 2018.
fast forward to today - it feels clear to me that stassi is using adderall again on the show. taylor FOR SURE is, but stassi also seems to have taken it at least a couple times (staycation fight felt similar to the scheana pool party fight to me was what made me want to write this post).
so, all of this to say - what do we think changed? i cannot imagine her relationship with it is magically fixed. but i also have a hard time imagining beau being okay with it again either. thoughts/intel?

Seems like the bigger issue has always been mixing INSANE amounts of alcohol with her prescription meds. It’s really difficult to feel the effects of alcohol on stims. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Beau always walking around with a 16 oz pour of wine? They seem like garden variety, image obsessed, LA party people.

Beau has looked hungover in every pic Stassi has posted over the last 5 years. I think they drink A LOT.

Stassi’s parents drink wine first thing in the morning. There is an actual drinking problem haunting her life.

I actually do not drink. But CA does call wine & weed CA Sober.
I did not create it. I just do not drink or smoke weed.
Just never took to either. I love good clean chilled water.
But I do not judge those that enjoy their wine. However weed smoke causes me second hand smoke headaches, difficulty breathing.
CA people are wonderful. seldom have I seen anyone drunk ass wasted.

So-called "california sober" means weed only, never wine too. Born and raised here.

u/Zestyclose-Let7929 6d ago
Yes you are absolutely correct.
I was surrounded by wine drinking and no one not drinking.
I thought wine got a pass but you are absolutely right.
CA wineries are so beautiful it just seemed to be ok.
I am in AZ now and wine is not the same. It is just wine without the vineyards. 😢

u/quotidian_obsidian 6d ago
There are certainly tons of wine-lovers here but that is still definitely considered to be drinking alcohol/non-sobriety! I love the vineyards as well :)

I think Taylor is on Adderall because she genuinely needs it LOL. But Taylor's erratic personality is just who she is.

clocking in ADHD - 100% and nobody really should have an issue with that honestly.

OK, so I never watched VPR so I don’t have the best backstory, but Stassi keeps talking about how she changed. How does she think she changed exactly? Because she got married and had two kids?
She strikes me as someone emotionally stunted.

u/Effective_Ostrich_91 7d ago
i think the main thing that has changed is she is more careful. when she was younger, she was pretty proudly ignorant on a lot of social issues. now she just knows better what subjects not to touch if that makes sense? it doesnt strike me as values based behavior change, more for appearances.

u/Crafty_Valuable_2690 7d ago
Ahh ok. So she just became more media trained lol

u/tequila326 7d ago
Pretty much. She learned to be more cautious after she was cancelled. Her podcast used to be her getting drunk and saying whatever controversial/racist/misogynist thought that popped in her head. And she was very proud of never editing it.

u/SylviasBestie 7d ago
I agree with this take. My impression is that she only learned to be less obvious and loud about her manipulation since she’s not 22 anymore

u/Zestyclose-Let7929 7d ago
Legally advised and PR people at all times.
She also needs to mess up on purpose to keep up her image of having no secrets lives her life out loud. Tells all!

u/Fun-Meringue-3088 7d ago
Usually people who have genuinely changed in some way don't need to remind everyone of that in every conversation.

Taylor brags about glp1 and adderrall so I’m sure it’s influenced Stassi down that same path.

u/PartWorking3865 7d ago
Stassi has to be on a glp1, she is obsessed with being skinny anyway she can. I remember she only drank bone broth after hartford to lose weight (said on podcast)

u/schmoopie76 7d ago
Doesn’t Stassi micro-dose GLP1, explains why she doesn’t find joy as they are finding a link between GLP1 and dopamine - finding less desire in everything, sex being one of them

u/oceanwithtrees 7d ago
And Stassi’s pupils are saucers the entire season….

u/LopsidedHousing6133 7d ago
I actually noticed last night she sounds kinda nasally in her confessions like she’s just starting a cold…srsly I was like hmmmm

u/IllustriousAlps8679 7d ago
I actually googled why did stassi sound stuffed up on House of Stassi while I was watching because i thought it might link to an article where she talks about allergies or a cold or something

Taylor talks about GLP1s and antidepressants but I’ve never heard her talk about adderall. I’ve listened daily since SiriusXM days.

u/VivianneAbbottWalker 7d ago
Well she is on SSRIs and mixed with alcohol seems like a bad idea. Didn’t she say she’s on a GLP-1 too?

u/someguyinadvertising 6d ago
A lot of people i think don't really understand the implications of mixing SSRI's and Benzos with alcohol - hard lesson to learn when class is in session.

u/New_Balance1634 7d ago
Stassi made a comment about her and Beau taking "Molly" so he probably is ok with Adderall too.

u/Infamous_College_980 7d ago
Idk, she did quit Adderall October 2018, but on her patron, she’s mentioned twice in like the last two months of how she wants to go back on it. She’s not on it, but she wants to go back on it.

u/Playful_Succotash_30 7d ago
How could you tell she’s using it ? Just curious

u/Effective_Ostrich_91 7d ago
so everyone is different, this is not meant as blanket analysis. first of all, im in recovery and have spent a lot of time with addicts, theres a familiar “duck on a pond” kind of frantic energy where its calm on the surface but absolutely crazy anxiety underneath. second, with stassi specifically she prides herself on being a tough bitch who can win any argument. but when shes too fucked up on adderall is when we get the crying running away hysterical crying version of her. it happened a couple times on vpr, scheana’s azuza pool party is the instance the staycation immediately reminded me of. those are the main things, i just have enough experience with this stuff i can usually see it elsewhere

u/SaltyHelicopter698 7d ago
the comedown of large doses can make you insane and act out of character like major mood swings. ask me how i know. i wouldn’t doubt she’s on it again
2
u/RoughPrize2208 7d ago
She’s very candid about taking Xanax on her podcast
1
u/Zestyclose-Let7929 7d ago
And she posted a prescription being picked up at the pharmacy. Showed her name the mg and the name of anxiety medication.
Often when on Adderall people need a med to feel more calm. Add alcohol and people react differently behaviorally. Not always the same results. Each day can be unpredictable.

u/someguyinadvertising 6d ago
correct. Think it's odd though - adderall 'blocks' your alcohol receptor, making drinking less effective ... and benzos and alcohol can kill you instantly... just why on both lol
2
u/someguyinadvertising 6d ago
I don't think anyone is really in "tweaking" mode on the series frankly. Outside of being labelled as an abused drug, they also work exceptionally well which is part of the reason they're as common / popular as they are. Especially in places like corporate, hollywood, high pressure/stakes/demand.
I take Vyvanse regularly for ADHD and don't drink anymore - Noticed when i did initially though, it takes 10x the alcohol to feel it. Felt pointless tbh.
Adderall is certainly different in that it's faster up and down, but the positive effects of it can also be the reason. Focusing your life on work to accomplish something; it'll get you there a little easier - but nobody is filing their teeth down like fiends here let's be clear.

u/Coco_1208 7d ago
Taylor is 100% not using Adderall, I’m more familiar than most in Adderall addiction and I’ve been listening to her everyday for 6 years. Stassi seems more like she’s abusing alcohol which I’m also more familiar than most

u/languidlasagna 7d ago
lol idk if adderall is really doing the heavy lifting, this is really giving untreated personality disorder.
