I've noticed since being on meds for three months now that I have a LOT more canker sores in my mouth. I have a huge one that's been festering near a tonsil for about a week and I can hardly swallow!!

I don't know if it's a side effect of the meds (Adderall & Zoloft) or what. I do know that I tend to get the sores when I'm stressed out. Maybe I need to increase the Zoloft!!

Lucy,

The first two months on Adderall my rosacea was much worse than usual, but seems to be clearing up again.

I do think that, initially, stimulants might contribute to lowered immunities.

I haven't gotten canker sores in many years (cold sores, either), but they seem to pop-up when immunities are compromised.

free radicals?
