Why would my face and ears turn red when I take any type of stimlulantlike Ritalin,Adderall,Dexedrine. These meds help with my ADD but this red face even red eyes are embarrasing! Any suggestions????

Could be from increased blood pressure or allergy.

> Hey Lynne-- it happens to me sometimes too. My blood pressure is not high -- still
a nice low number as always, and I've been on adderall for close to a year so I don't think
allergy is the issue either. I have fair skin w/lots of red in my coloring so I *do* understand
your concern.As far as I can tell, it's related to whatever the adderall does that makes me sweat more at times.
I can feel the heat in my face as it flushes. It happens less often when I'm careful to drink lots
of water. And of course I use the wonderful Clinique [sorry!] green-tinted base.Sorry not to be of more help. I will look around and see if I can find anything to answer this question.
It's beginning to be a pain.S.

My guess would be, that the medication is causing your blood flow to increase or decrease, thus resulting in blushing. Not likely an allergic reaction but rather, a side effect of the medicine, causing either greater or lesser blood flow to your face/ears.
Ask your Doctor for more details, I am not a medical professional, just a forum user like yourself.
