Really Clammy Hands while on Focalin/Adderall

[Louis CK]

I've found that several hours after my peak, I still have really clammy hands for the rest of the day. Anybody else get this? Like even if I do a small amount and don't really feel it too strong, my hands will still be so cold and sweaty.

To the point where I was trying to roll a joint this afternoon, and I got so frustrated cause of my hands stickin, that I scattered the weed all over the place.

Sweating is a really common side effect of amphetamines.. Adderall has a pretty long half-life, so it's not surprising you still have clammy hands after the peak.. Focalin's half life isn't as long, but even so side effects of drugs can be felt for longer than the peak neurological effects.

I feel you on the frustration, have had to give up on many a spliff on stims in the past!

I feel for you. Most times when this happens, doctors would prescribe clonidine for later in the day to open up your blood vessels and to quell the comedown.

Yeah this is common with both these drugs. I would get this from higer doses of adderall but maybe your a little more sensitive to it

I find that with adderall I get clammy hands and I sweat profusely. As a general rule, I don't sweat very much, or at least not that I can notice, so it's somewhat bothersome to me I suppose.

...think that's answered your question pretty well, not sure what else there is to add so am going to close this.
