It's not for ADD, it's for depression and anxiety. But either way I have considered it serious. It has come and gone since week 5 and now I'm going on week 7. I decided Thurs. I needed to call to tell the doc but it was too late.
I got up Fri (yesterday), and was totally clear and fine. So I dismissed it and went into work at 5am. Took meds at noon and got home around 4:30pm. I sat down on my couch and thought, goodness my foot is itching, so I pulled my socks off, thought it might just be from being in socks and shoes on my feet all those hours. But when I looked down all I could see was welts. I haven't been breaking out previously anywhere other than my core (stomach, back, underarms). I thought that's odd I'm not itching anywhere else, so I lifted my shirt to look at where the hives had been previously and I was covered...the itching kicked in later. I called the doc, nurse took a message and pharmacy info and said she'd call right back after talking with my doc. I waited, no phone call.
It's Sat. I know I'm not getting called before mon. which blows

. I can't just stop the meds because you are supposed to wean off of this. It was strongly warned not to drop it w/o doc approval. So I'm combating w/Benedryl til Mon. Then, someone is going to answer me.
