The comedienne wrote a post titled "charlie sheen makes me look sane (sic)" following Sheen's dismissal from Two and a Half Men.
In the post, Barr suggested that Sheen was not on drugs but was rather on a "manic high" and suggested that Sheen take a break from show business.
"Charlie is not on drugs, though he can get them from the porn star goddesses that come and go, but his urine shows clean - i think charlie is in a manic high, and is unable to get any drugs to bring him down anymore - his tiger blood statement is from that 'eye of the tiger' focus that manics have," Barr posted.
She added: "Manics can really work hard and play hard at the same time, until they hit a wall, and then they are in bed and depressed for a long time, so they start taking drugs again to get energy to work."
The former sitcom star also criticised Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, the producer that Sheen made controversial comments about in recent weeks. Lorre and Barr worked together on Barr's ABC show Roseanne.
"Anybody can do your job, really. other guys are funny and not repulsive to intelligent women, though those s**t chuck lorre lines could choke a f**king horse, and render any actor who recites them stone cold soul dead," she posted.
The actress criticised Lorre's writing as "adolescent sniggering" that "Tea partier types" enjoy, before claiming that she fired him "for being a big drunk on [her] show".
