Hi

Does anyone else have the side effect from adderall that causes scalp picking? I also have ocd, but I read that ppl with adhd often have this problem or skin picking and hair pulling? It's so annoying but relaxes me and is such a strong compulsion. I'm also starting to pick at my neck arms and legs but scalp is the worst. I'm not telling my pdoc bc I don't want to be taken off my meds.

Thanks. Tnt

Yes, I take adderall and I pick at my scalp and on my other parts of my body. If the compulsion is strong, you might need to lower your dose. Don't feel bad about doing it because you're not the only one......D.

Thanks so much for your reply! I was starting to feel like an oddball.
