skin picking with ADHD meds

Hi, I have been picking at my skin, when I was younger and I am diagnosed with Adhd for years.
My habit was so bad, that I tore sores from my face down to my legs. I thought it could be because of Aderall, and actually when I changed the therapy my skin problems were gone. Less acne formed and I didn’t have wish to squeeze them all the time. The doctor also introduced me some antidepressants. My skin is looking much better. I have no more open sores, but still a lot of embarrassing scars are on my skin.

I have been a 'picker' for years, but once I was diagnosed & treated with adderall I began picking for much longer (hours) and didn't realize it. This is a side effect of the meds called "hyper-focusing" and usually means you need to adjust your dosage. For me, I just can't have any caffeine with my meds and I felt a lot better (tired, but better).

good luck.
