Advice about Dexedrine has helped me become hive free

Hope it might help others.

I hate to jinx myself, but I want to thank Debra Suplee Donahue. Her advice about Dexedrine has helped me become hive free. I post this in hope it might help others. I take Dexedrine 10mg spansules twice a day and have started a supplement to detox my liver and have made it 2 weeks with no hives. Mind you I’ve had these hives almost every day for 18 months and dermatographia because of it covering my back, stomach, chest, neck, legs, arms and sometimes face, hands and feet. I’m so thankful you told your story! Thank you so much! It feels awesome to not be itching. I hope this continues!!!! I am editing to mention that my hives are terrible right before my menstrual cycle and I started my period and still no hives…. AMAZING FEELING! Another edit to mention that I also thought I had Reynauds because hands would get white and go numb and that has stopped as well.

Congrats! Exciting news. So glad you have gotten relief.

Debra Suplee Donahue
I sit here in tears reading your story. I have tried to help people here by suggesting the Dexedrine component, and have been met with mostly skepticism and distrust of my assertions. But today, you’ve made my day. If I have helped just one soul, I’m happy. I suffered for a decade. It was soul-wrenching painful decade, and I am so glad you’ve found relief! I hope others will consider this treatment. Keep me posted about your situation…i.e. weight loss and your health in general!

Isn’t that dangerous to take?

Kamila Staton
Linda, my doctor is monitoring me. It’s similar to Adderall. I haven’t had any side effects other than weight loss. It can sometimes raise blood pressure but mine is low normally 100/68

Debra Suplee Donahue
Linda, though Dex is an amphetamine, it’s a very low dose, only 10mg 2x a day. In the first week, I was just a little speedy, but it’s used on-label to treat ADD/ADHD too, and because I am also that, it serves double duty.

Debra Suplee Donahue
Ive been on it since 1995, btw, and it’s like taking a vitamin, except that vitamins won’t make you hive-free. 🤪

Linda Cooper Daubert
Debra Suplee Donahue my son takes adderrall for add, who prescribed this for you?

Debra Suplee Donahue
Adderall was prescribed to me when I couldn’t get the Dex, which was only a month lapse. It worked okay, but I was brand loyal I guess, and didn’t want to take my chances! My doc is Jerome Check in Mt. Laurel NJ. He’s the one that did the studies

Linda Cooper Daubert
Debra Suplee Donahue can you take it if your on blood pressure medication

Debra Suplee Donahue
Linda, yes, of course. I have high BP and take 30mg lisinoprol daily. My BP is perfect on it.

Linda Cooper Daubert
Kamila Staton who proscribed yours?

Kamila Staton
Linda, my family doctor, but I already had an ADHD diagnosis. I had just been off meds for 2 years.

Where do you get it?

Kamila Staton I’m not sure if you’ll ever see this, but just wondering… are you still hive-free?? Just started adderall this week and praying it helps but so far no change (in fairness…. it’s only been 3 days and he told me to start at half the dose). Feeling pretty hopeless lately and praying so hard it works, so I was curious if this continued to work for you…

Kamila Staton
Shaina, I’m still so much better than I was before this medication. It took me 3-4 weeks to see a huge improvement. I still have a couple of spots that appear right before my period typically, but I was covered in rash before starting the Dexedrine

Shaina ‘Baruch’ Giller
Kamila Staton thank you so much for the quick response!! This has been taking such a toll on my mental health- 6 months of daily full body horrible itchy hives, along with Angioedema in lips and tongue at times. Finally was able to start the adderall this week and I’m impatient (obviously) to see if it works. Even if I still had just a couple hives I’d take that as a major win at this point over the 200-300 I usually have on my whole body every single day. Good to know it took 3-4 weeks. So helpful to have some sort of timeline for someone it has been helping, to give me reason to continuing hoping it might help me too! Thanks again and I hope it continues to help you!!

Kamila Staton
Shaina, I hope you see improvement soon. I know how miserable that is. I never had swelling in face or lips but I was broken out in a rash and hives over my whole body: face, neck, back, arms, shoulders, hands, legs, stomach, head, butt, and feet. I’m so thankful I’m not like that anymore.

Shaina ‘Baruch’ Giller
Kamila thanks again!! Gives me reason to hope the next few weeks could possibly bring some improvement. So happy for you that it’s much better and hoping to join you in that soon! 🙏🏻

Shaina ‘Baruch’ Giller, I would combine healthy eating with this, meaning I cut out dairy and gluten and processed foods for 7 months. I stopped sugar as well. I recently started back eating some sugar and added cheese back in, and I think that may be why I triggered a break out before my periods. I think the sugar increases the inflammation issues at least for me.

Shaina ‘Baruch’ Giller
Kamila Staton hmm ok good to know. Trying to eat pretty clean lately and still completely covered in hives, but more than willing to continue to eat healthy gluten/dairy free if the adderall can help keep me hive free while I do that.
