What the fuck? I had a serious allergic reaction to ritalin (hives and throat closing up)

And now Im afraid that any amphetamine will kill me 🥲

Atomoxetine it is 💪

    Not a doctor or pharmacist, who you probably should ask, but I think Adderall anf other amphetamine based medications are significantly different from Ritalin. Also, allergies are sometimes related to ingredients other than the drug itself. And maybe an allergist could help determine what specifically you are allergic to in a safer way than just trying another drug if it was that significant of a reaction.

      FYI, I also did a quick search and it seems like Ritalin allergies are not exactly uncommon especially compared to amphetamine-based medications. Again, I’m not a doctor or pharmacist, just did some basic Googling.
