Not specifically.: Since a lot of individuals with ADD/ADHD are treated during their adolescence, it is not unusual to have Acne during these age groups. There is however been some problems with the use of stimulants in conjunction with antibiotics like Minocyline . Do discuss this with your doctor.

Concerta & acne?: Concerta, or long acting methylphenidate, can cause SEs. Most common r headache, decreased appetite, insomnia, nausea, tachycardia, anxiety and even psychosis. Acne is not a true SE of Concerta. Some patients, particularly when taking hier doses of stimulants, may be inclined to pick at their skin, which will contribute to acne. Same w/ poor sleep. If ur having SEs, c ur doc for dose adjustment.
