I am an ADHD patient, and I'm on 25mg of adderall daily, I have severe problems sleeping, I have not been prescribed anything to help me sleep before. But the biggest problem that I have found with taking my medicine is that my Skin Picking problem has gotten worse, leaving huge scars, on my face, neck, and chest. I can usually cover them up well with concealer, but I feel as if I can't stop picking, at something that ISN'T there, I know that it isn't there; but I can't stop doing it.
I know that if I don't fix this soon I'm going to be permanently scarred by doing this. I can no longer feel pretty, or wear clothing that show my legs or chest. Sometimes I know when I'm picking, and other's I don't realize until later. I'm tired of doing this and I wish that I could make this go away.
