My skin is terribly dry. Perhaps that's because of asthma but it seems to have happened since I've been taking this drug.

Adderall XR

7.3	Holistic Benefits

I have ADD and have been taking Adderall and Adderall XR for over 10 years. I have had weird heart beats and when I work out I sometimes feel like my heart rate is way too high for the level activity that I'm doing. I feel like it's probably not a huge deal if you're planning on taking it temporarily but I do not recommend long term use. It's very effective but the heart risks that come with it are not worth it.

Benadryl

3.8	Side Effects
6.3	Holistic Benefits

I come from a very allergic background, and I've tried other medications but I feel like Benadryl is the most efficient and gives me the fastest relief. The downside is that I do get very drowsy when I take it.

I take the it early enough so I don't have issues with insomnia and I make it a point to eat throughout the day.

Cymbalta

7.1	Side Effects
5.3	Holistic Benefits

My depression and anxiety are much better. I haven't gained any weight as with other antidepressants. When I get aggitated or angry at something I can't seem to remain calm. I can't seem to control myself too well in these situations. I'm going to discuss this at my next Dr's Visit.
