As a kid i was diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed ritalin through high school with no problems, about 9 months ago i was having trouble in college and decided to try adderall and it has worked great since with no problems. However recently i began developing a skin rash in my chest and neck area, when i reported this to my dr. he said he has never had anyone develop a "random" allergic reaction and suggested maybe i try ritalin again. The first and second day i had no reaction and today i developed the same rash, has anyone experienced anything like this before or have any reccomendations?
