Not me, nor my child. Never heard of it either.

My son was on ritalin and now is on adderall . Lately he has been
complaining of any itchy elbow or also has a habit of removing his shoe
at home and school and rubbing his sock, complaining about "pebbles" in
his socks which I call lint. It sounds to me as if he has a heightened
sensivity. I don't know if it's related to the meds or his disorder.

Although, I am adult on Ritalin, I've never had an itching scalp as a
side effect.

There are many nerves in the scalp which seem to have a more sensitive
reaction to brain activity. What this child is experiencing could be
related. If symtoms do not disappear very soon I would talk to the doctor.

One known side-effect of methylphenidate is urticaria. It is not
uncommon. The itching scalp could very well be urticaria brought on by
the Ritalin. Urticaria is an allergic reaction so you should report it
to your doctor now. Methylphenidate can also cause alopecia (loss of
hair). From time to time, I'm sure Ritalin caused my forearms to itch,
especially my left inside forearm near my wrist. It probably caused my
scalp to itch as well, but I can't be sure because I already have severe
seborrheic dermatitis (e.g. dandruff).
It is also quite possible that the Ritalin is not the cause of the
itching scalp at all. Check carefully for head lice (a modern plague).
Whenever one of my kids' scalps starts to itch severely, it usually
turns out to be head lice. It seems that they almost always get the
lice from sleepovers. Head lice will not go away without treatment.
The itching scalp could also be due to some other cause, such as
dandruff, ring worm of the scalp (which is really a fungus, not a worm),
and so on, just to name a few. Each has it's own unique treatment.
Good luck on figurin' out whether the Ritalin was causal or
coincidental.

I think it the responsiblity of each individual to research any type of
drug they intend to take for a long period of time. That point aside, I
would rather go bald than be deprived of Ritalin. I *never* want to
return to my old-self. He was an unhappy man headed for destruction.

Lara, you do indeed have to weigh the pro's and con of medication. On
the pro side you have part of an overall process that can make
positive change for your entire life. On the con side you MAY suffer
some normally temporary side effects but may also have to put up with
mindless trolling by the likes of the person that posted the above
drivel.
Do what works for your son.
BTW, in regards to the above nonsense, I have been reading this NG for
about 4 months and in that time, you are the first person that I can
recall to mention itchy scalps. I know a number of people using
Ritalin, including my son and I and have not heard mention at all of
scalp itch so you are definately not "in the minority."
Be well,

Too late. Male pattern baldness got to me before Ritalin ever did.
Say, how about methylphenidate with a Rogain chaser. The meth. will
push out the hair and up the blood pressure, while the rogain will
grow it back and lower the blood pressure, all the while my
concentration will improve. Talk about a win-win situation. Thanks for
the inspiration Tim :)

Very good Tim! Now excuse me for a moment while I post some more
information for those interested.
Here is a list of the reported Ritalin side effects with respect to skin
and/or hypersensitivity.
Skin and/or Hypersensitivity:
Rash, pruritus, urticaria, fever, arthralgia, and alopecia. Isolated
cases of exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme with
histopathological findings of
necrotizing vasculitis, and thrombocytopenic purpura.
I'm not sure of the prevelance of any of these, but I beleive that drug
side-effects, in general, are usually listed by frequency of
occurrence. These are the scientific names.

No...
DADDY
NOW THEY TELL ME!!!
Many DAY's LATE AND $2,500 DOLLARS SHORT!!!!
Why, prior to the WEB did it take so long for valuable and practical
information to disseminate??? Apparently this information has been
available for over forty years, archived in some obscure dungeon until
Tim cast off it's chains and freed the truth now for all to have and to
hold.
Oh had I only known, my life would have been so different.
Breaking away from work, chukin the RIT, takin wife and kids on annual
outing, keeping my "Promise" to show them "Chicago," breezin the pike
thru windy's midday downtown, keeping up with the traffic, no space
between cars, pushing mach 1, like tha ant crawling up the elephants leg
intent on copulation, my head craned far outside looking at the
building tops when wind and breeze combined suddenly ripped off my rug.
"Impulsive" the Judge said incredulously, in response to the court
appointed Doctors, to which I agreed in a flash. With animated
enthusiasm I set out to make clear in the simplest way possible, in
order that I help him fully appreciate, that it was a natural for me,
dynamiting my brakes, ignoring dense clouds of swirling smoke from
burned rubber, ducking flying fragments, all kids and wife following as
I dashed to save my masculinity banner.
Esplainin farther to this wise Judge (Turned out he was only fakin) how
difficult it was to dodge all those sliding screetching, out of control
mechanized psychopaths acting out in unison to tireburn my blown off
virility. When those crazy Chicagoans realized my outward libido had
been reduced less than roadkill their attention quickly shifted, their
free floating rage then focused on us innocent visitors, balls less
importantly perhaps, even our lives well targeted were spared only by
the fast action of chicken Lady, our golden retriever not, refusing to
enter the hair chase she stood on the front seat, one foot mashing the
horn, pushing the cellular phone button with the other and barking
athoritatively. Swarms of chicago PD, thinking it was the shift captain
announcing free beer, made the scene in a flash.
The judge, seeing the dilemma, cought up in mob emotionalism, wanting
now more than anything to lead the frenzy in my dismemberment, yielded
to political realities and released us to the protective custody of the
PD, to do with us as they wished as long as they promised to scatter all
evidence and split all the spoils.
Good or bad fortune, unable to discriminate, all I saw was how swiftly
those uniformed canines converted our pain to pleasure, our rolling
goodies and large store of RIT now homed safely in their pound, our
$2,500 vacation boodle assured our safe deliverence across the state
line, sans Lady, who they retained for kinky cross polination,
attempting to offset their squinty eyed inbreeding, while tryin our RIT.
Now, years later, looking back, amazed at how snail pace is history, the
web now with lightening speed spreads the news. Pondering and puzzling
how and why ADD information remains biased, severely distorted and
fragmented, missing large important chunks. Why I ask, now forty years
too late, shiny pate glistening, hairy advertisements not fitting the
needs, do they now tell us the "NEWS" that RIT makes our hair fall out,
and even far worse, why yet no mention is made of testicular atrophy,
how often balls seem to fall off tooo. Seems ta esplain why walkin down
many streets of ole windy ya so often hear the unique and delightful
eunachoid sound of an Irish Tenor singin "Oh Danny Boy interlaced with
No Balls at all" coming from any of many PD watering holes. Waterin
Holes?? Water unpure, chicago beer all tastin like piss, their
testicles RIT withered, how could anyone spect those shanty Irish PD ta
ever see the difference.
Can't help but make DADDY W. ask if some Annie lookalikes or wannabees
have taken over our important NEWS editin.

That has been the only side effects so far. If I stop taking Ritalin, can Dr. Frager
hire me and never fire me despite how many mistakes I've made. (17 jobs before being
diagnosed, 2 after (one was a temp). Will he finish my thesis? Will he pay my bills?
And will he pay for "the alternative treatment" (which I'm not against, I just noticed
all the people who push it, also sell it.) So I guess I will stick to my one 20mg SR
and my two 10mgs.

Actually, I didn't start the thread. I was responding to a question about itchy scalp
in which my two cents was that I took ritalin and my scalp didn't itch. I've also
suffered almost no side effects. But I think the results out weight it.

Yes, and my friend got alopecia all by herself. No ritalin involved.
To repeat, it is an allergic reaction. A bad side effect. If your hair
starts falling out, stop the medication. If you start developing
tourette's syndrome, stop. If you develop a tick, stop. Of course, your
hair also falls out when you get chemotherapy, I guess we should stop
that too. Operations also have bad side effects, let's stop that also.
Yes, you should never take a medication blindly. But always look at the
pros and the cons. I did, before I choose to take to take ritalin.

So, mr brown, are you now satisfied? All vented? Does that feel better timmy?
We are all well aware of possible side-effects from medication. Diarrhea,
weight gain, or Thyroid changes are possible from taking Lithium, for example.
Also, timmy, he said the word CAN cause alopecia. Perhaps what you read didn't
sink in.
Let me repeat:

Tim,
You have actually raised a very important issue here. And quite timely
too may I ADD! Thank you. I hereby affectionately dub you "Timely
Tim."
It seems that many people are thoroughly dissatisfied with the amount of
WRITTEN information (often little or none) provided to them by
pharmacies when getting their prescriptions filled. To RECTIFY the
situation, I beleive the FDA is going to now require pharmacies to
provide an information sheet (basically a sheet including at least all
the PDR information, but maybe in lay terms I think) with each
prescription filled.
Note that this information was always available. My Doctor verbally
goes over the list (in one ear and out the other), but that's not the
same as providing a written list, which is particulalrly useful to us
ADDers, since the verbal info is quickly forgotten. Yeah FDA! (Tax
dollars hard at work.) I beleive one reason written information was not
provided in the past was because it was beleived that people were more
confused after reading the information and didn't understand it due to
insufficient medical knowledge. I guess people are considered to be
smarter now.
Also, the side-effects compiled and listed in the PDR are "reported"
side-effects. I beleive this means that no definitive conclusion as to
whether the side-effects were actually caused by the drug or not has
necessarily been made. Hence the term "reported." Incidently, male
pattern baldness is hereditary.
Hope this helps you out Tim ("Timely Tim" that is!).

Thanks Cambela! I'm releived now. (Why didn't someone tell me this
before. Was it because ... -Ah never mind.) Anyway, my itching wasn't
really severe, but then again I didn't really scratch it much either.
And it never erupted, nor was it pale. What I got was this little faint
pinkish area, about a 2 inch by 1 inch oval, on my inside forearm near
my wrist. Came outta nowhere, about an hour after dosing. It started
itching and tingling (light burning) a little bit, so I scratched it a
few times. Then it turned sorta pinkish-red. I wasn't gonna start a
war so I quite scratching, cause I knew would just get worse. Before I
knew it, after 2-3 hours, it was gone. No wheals or bubbles
whatsoever. Same thing happened several other times too. Same way
too. Uhh-ooh. If it's not-, then what is it? Anything like this in
that 'cyclopedia? (If it's leprosy, Pleazzzzz don't tell me cuz I don't
wanna know.)

To add to swoop's comments, I just winded up in the ER a couple weeks
ago while cutting up vegetables for a salad, and munching a few while
doing so. All of the veggies I have used & cut up all my life -- but I
had a major anaphylactic attack & nearly died. It could be a pesticide
on something, or an intolerance to something in green peppers, I'll
probably never know, but I now carry eppy pens everywhere I go...anyway,
the first symptom that I had was a horribly itchy scalp, then hands and
then feet. Go figure! But I don't take Ritalin or any ADD meds.

had an itchy scalp, and used a dandruff shampoo daily - someone finally said "try not shampooing more than twice a week,
with baby shampoo". Itchy scalp vanished - dandruff shampoo was drying my scalp.) *ANY* chance of lice exposure?
(Remember, that can mean "did he play with a child you don't know?" - lice are scary-contagious!)
Some people do have funny responses to stimulants. Trying a lower dose, a different med, or even, sometimes, a different
manufacturer of the same med, can help. And it might go away in a while. If he's not so itchy that he's causing
additional irritation, this is the kind of thing that can often be treated by watchful waiting.
Obviously - talk to your doctor if there are any serious concerns. And keep talking to your child, of course - kids
notice when things are working well.

Everything I needed to know in life I learned in Kindergarten. Like:
1) Don't push or shove when people are on playground equipment.
2) Don't run with scissors, and call the teacher if there are messes or spills
3) Once you pull the pin on Mr. Hand Grenade, he is no longer your friend.

> How long has your son been taking Ritalin (methylphenidate)? I'd ask him if it felt more "itchy" or "tingly". Could be an allergic reaction, or even your son's interpretation of the therapeutic effects. Also, although this sounds like a stretch, does your son suffer from psoriasis?
