Hmm... I've heard about some of the side effects, but not this one. I've had a rash on my fore arms that comes and goes since starting it. Didn't think it could be related. Will have to check it out next time I take my Adderall. Right now, just taking as needed. Was on it for 18 months then it seemed not to work anymore. Made my talking faster and more... Now I just take it in the morning if I need to get things done and not wallow for a good 3 hours before finally figuring out what to start with first... If you haven't tried Straterra, there are some people that find it helpful, for me it made me more zombie like, made me have terrible hallucinetic dreams, and extremely more irratable or aggressive. I also couldn't sleep on it... made my mind race worse... Good ol ritalin is a good standby if you need help. It goes through your system faster than the XR type of stimulants, but you can be the judge of it whether it works for you or not...
Cheers and good luck. I'm still struggling with what to take and don't like the whole trial and error part of meds! The side effects get me pretty good when they get me, ugh!!!
