Concerta reaction

Has anyone heard of someone breaking out in red welts after using Concerta? I got them all over my abdomen and on my thighs.

Yes, Adderall can cause rashes/skin irritations. Talk to your doctor.

Is Adderall the same as Concerta?

Negative. There are two side of the fence with stimulant medications. Methyphenadates which is the Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana stuff and Amphetamines which are the Adderall, Dexodrine and such. Two different "molecules". Adderall and Concerta are on different sides of the fence.

Normally if some one doesn't respond well to a Methyphenadate med, they would an Amphetamine one. Ritalin and Concerta didn't do anything for me but Adderall works great.
