In reply to I NEED HELP!!! from horrid side-effect........., posted by Festus on May 5, 2003, at 22:43:55
I have also been bothered by severe dry throat (feels different than dry mouth) and mouth ulcers from stimulants.
For me, Adderall was by far the worst, dex much milder, no problem at all from Ritalin.
It's weird, because they list so many obscure side effects in the drug monographs, but not mouth ulcers.
Have you stopped taking any meds recently? I notice that if I reduce or stop Prozac, I get a very bad sore throat and lots of mouth ulcers. Again, I don't know how Prozac withdrawal (officially, there is not supposed to be any Prozac withdrawal) could cause sore throat and ulcers.
A health food product called DGL (it stands for de - ???ized - licorice helps mine, but they put sorbitol in it, which gives me bad GI upset.
> Hi Folks,
> I have gone through several trials of stim Meds for ADD.We finally settled on Dexedrine.It works great and does my over-all condition best of the other trials(Provogil,Ritalin,Adderrall).There is one thing,though,that I got with trying ALL these meds...everyone caused me dry-mouth.After 3-4 days into each trial,I would develop white sore spots on my tongue.At first,I figured it was the med,but in the next trial,the same thing happened.It did it on all 4 meds!The Dex works wonders and I,m scared I won,t be able to continue therapy if these tongue ulcers or whatever they are,can,t be controlled.Anyone ever experience this sorta thing? I sure do need some ideas or advice. Festus
