Can Adderall cause itching? I didn't have it the first few times taking it ( just started in 2 weeks ago) but the past couple days I have been itching bad. It is hard to say what is causing this because my GP just put me on step down pack of steriods for inflammation in my shoulder and gave me a shot for pain also. I seen GP last Thursday.


Yesterday I was in the sun for several hours and when i came home I itched all over bad. I took a Benadryl last night and it did help some.


I really like the Adderall and I am hoping it isn't that.

I haven't heard of that before...but I can try and look it up to see.


Almost sounds like you are having a reaction to the sun, like sun poisoning.

It's not really blotchy unless I am scratching it and then I have redness all over where my nails were. My face is blood red, but some of that could be sun burn, but I did have some red in my face before yesterday when I went out in the sun.

yeah i'm looking now...well..I just found it


A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.


Before taking this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to sympathomimetic drugs (e.g., epinephrine, pseudoephedrine); or if you have any other allergies.


I would still agree with the pharmacist and think that this would have happened within days of taking it....


call the doctor back right now !!!

I talked to my GP yesterday and she said it had to be the Adderall. I called pdoc and he said to stop it for a few days and then start it again. If I have the symptoms again then we know it was the Adderall. Everything else I am taking will not cause an allergic reaction.


So I will restart the Adderall on
