How much Adderall are you taking?
I once experimented taking larger and larger doses of Adderall to explore possible improvement levels, and the exact same 'hives' you describe, occurred. It was a reaction to too much Adderall in my system, i assumed. However, i was also taking a small regular dose of Lexapro.
Benadryl(antihistamine)had no effect on the itchy welts/hives.
The welt/hives disappeared after reducing my Adderall to my most comfortable dose and taking Vitamin C in a fairly large dose(1000mg) with lots of water. I think i repeated the Vit.C a half-hour later. i did not change anything about my Lexapro.Try "Emer'gen-C"/cranberry powder packets that you add to a glass of water. Any healthfood/suppliment store should have them. i get mine from TraderJoe's.
Each packet is 1000mg Vit.C + high potassium and effective nearly immediately after you drink it. Cranberry is a detoxin. It can also neutralize the effects of some drugs.Escher
