User Comments about Daytrana

13 Feb 2010

Around the time I started taking Daytrana, I noticed that I was sweating more often. I took Daytrana for about 2 years. I went to my doctors and none of them could figure out why I was all of a sudden sweating so much. When my psychiatrist decided to take me off of the Daytrana, I stopped sweating. We soon realized that the Daytrana is what was making me sweat uncontrollably. Another problem I had with Daytrana was that I must have been allergic to the patch. Once I stopped applying Daytrana, I noticed that I had really dark patches where the Daytrana used to be placed. The dark patches also had dark red rings around them. When I was still on the Daytrana, and I took off the patch, my skin was always bright pink and my skin burned a lot. If it wasn’t for the side effects, I would have continued taking Daytrana. It has been by far the best ADHD medication I have ever had. It gave me the best concentration and it would last all day.
