Hello,

I tried Strattera for a couple of weeks, the only thing I noticed was dry everything. I started at 40 mg, after 3 days, I went to 80 mg. That is Lilly's recommended adult dosage, but many people posting here thought that was way to high. Many here started out, and still are on a lower dose than I was. I suddenly broke out in this horrible rash. I went to the ER for it. They said it was an delayed allergic reaction from Strattera. Not sure that was really the cause, but that's a long story.


I was wondering, can you take klonopin with adderall? My pdoc said to me last time that klonopin tends to be bad for people with ADD/HD. I currently take klonopin, for anxiety, and seizure control. Since I had an allergic reaction my pdoc may try me on Adderall. I don't want to, and really shouldn't, because of possible seizures, stop klonopin. Do you know, is this combo ok for ADD/HD? Have you heard anything about klonopin being bad for this diagnosis?

Thanks

Jodie
