adderall med

[Guest guest]

A quicker and cheaper alternative to taking him to the doctor would

be to call the pharmacist and ask if a rash would indicate an

allergic reaction. They should know and can advise you what the next

step would be.

> Hey everyone,

> My five year old son has PDD-NOS. He has also recently been

diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD. We are trying a med just to see if

it helps or not. If it doesn't help then we'll stop and try something

non med related. He is currently taking Adderall XR 5 mg capsules. He

has been taking them since Sunday morning. I only give it to him on

the school days and let him go without it on the weekends and school

holidays. I have enlisted the help of his teacher to let me know if

it seems to be helping and if she thinks it makes him zombie or if

she notices any side effects. Last night while I was giving him a

bath I noticed a light red rash around his neck and shoulders and

arms. I am wondering if he might be allergic to this med. Does anyone

else's child take Adderall XR? If they do did they get a rash that

went away with continuing treatment. If it doesn't go way I will have

to take him back to the doctor to have it looked at. Anyway, any help

would be
