| | | Public Intox/ Disorderly Conduct
Arizona
This is not a DUI case, however, it is a public intoxication/disorderly conduct case. I am 22 and I lost my job earlier yesterday as an RA in the dorms I live in due to public intoxication/disorderly conduct. Here is the thing that is making me want to fight it. I started being treated for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder since August of this year. I have been prescribed Adderall as my treatment. I don't drink very often, and have no drank alcohol at all since I have been on Adderall. Wednesday night I decided I wanted a drink and dranl 1 drink. For some reason, this flipped the Adderall, which is normally a depressant on my brain due to A.D.D. I behaved pretty wildly and have no idea why the alcohol flipped the response of Adderall. I had no idea I would act this way, or I would never had drank and come back to the dorms. Do I have any legal rights to appeal for my job back, since I was under the influence of adderall? I am prescribed it by a licensed physician, so is there anyway to appeal for my job back? Please let me know, I really need to get through college!  |

| | | Ememay, what is the statute(s) that you were charged with? It should be listed on the citation you received. |

In fact, most studies indicate that the interaction between the two will cause the opposite effect that you claim. You broke the rules and now you will have to face your punishment. | |
