Anyoe on these med NOT experienced skin problems?! - ADD / ADHD Message Board

I am reading SO many people's feedback of add meds and they are almost always saying it effects their skin in terrible ways. I have ALWAYS been anal over my skin and go through great lengths to take care of it and I have never had a breakout in my life. I am hearing skin horror stories and I feel like crying because I will not take these meds if it skin problems will occur. Anyone here not had any skin problems on these meds?

I have not had any problems, and I have super-sensitive skin.

Also, I suspect that if the medication does change your skin, adjusting your skin-care regime (maybe a little more washing, maybe a little more moisturizing) might take care of the problem.

Try not to worry too much about it.

I've never had any problems and I've tried a variety of ADD meds.
