Red face side effects??
Hey Everybody! So I've been on focalin for about 2-3 weeks now and I can definately see an improvement. But I'm noticing that I'm bruising a lot more than usual (and big bruises at that ). Also occasionally I'll swell up a little and get red blotches...but not everytime. Is this worth mentioning to my doctor? Or should I just deal with the potential side effects...I mean my concentration (especially in my math classes) has skyrocketted . I go back on th 12th. Someone let me know what you think I should do.

Also has anyone else experienced any unusual bruising while taking this medicine?
