Not everyone can take it, when I first tried meds for ADD Ritalin was the first one and gave me hives for the few days I was on it. At one point tried others without side effects but they weren't as effective so just kept with Dexedrine.
Maybe the hives would have gone away but not exactly work friendly to be productive which was the reason for the meds in the first place.
Seems weird to go for amphetamines before trying stuff that isn't so nuts.
