Hello, Theresa! How is your daughter doing? Has there been any change?

Only the doctors are going to be able to let you know if there's an possibility of that. It will really depend on whether or not she's suffered permanent mental damage, or not, according to the NIH.

As reported by the FDA, the Adderall carries as much of a risk of being habit forming as Methadone, plus since it is a stimulant, combining it with Redbull can be very dangerous, she's very lucky she didn't suffer a heart attack, or stroke.
