Several options: Allergies are more often to fillers than to the stimulants themselves. You could go to an allergist, who can directly assess whether either of these medications is causing you to have an allergic reaction. You could try vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) which is a quite different formulation, even though it produces amphetamine. The fact you didn't have hives before, unfortunately, doesn't mean it's not the cause.
