Hi :)
I'm new here but I've been visiting for a little while. I'll come back and post a proper introduction soon. Uh...unless I forget lol :rolleyes:

Anyway, I have a question. I was started on Adderall XR 20 in January. In February it was bumped up to twice a day. It seems to be working well for the most part.

I knew to expect dry mouth, and I do have that. But I've noticed that my skin is really dry too, unusually so. Primarily the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet. No matter how much lotion, cream, shea butter, etc I slather on...eventually (especially my feet) go back to being so dry they feel...weird.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I crazy? :p

Thanks in advance for your help!

My lips have been drying out like mad. I drink so much water during the day I don't see how this is possible. I suppose I could also have a tick (which are made worse when on Adderall) that I just lick my lips a lot. But I noticed that moisture is sucked out of me.

I was on Adderall XR 20 mg once in the morning and once in the early afternoon. I had my dosage reduced to 20 mg a day, but I still notice that I have dry skin. It is mostly the hands and elbows. I drink plenty of water too. Chapstick is also a must for me too. I guess if someone wanted to drive me nuts, take away my chapstick and lotion!! :D
