Wow! I can't believe this site!! My mom and my fiance tell me to stop calling it the Red Ear because it sounds like I have some disease lol. But it is true! I definitely seem to get a burning feeling in either my left or right ear. I have been on adderall for about 7 years and this has been happening for the past 3 years. It seems to help if I drink lots of water and but a cold pack on my ear. I definitely get ALOT of sleep so that isn't it. I do get stressed out alot though. So maybe it is from stress and dehydration. It sucks whenever I want to drink because "the red ear" almost always starts right after I drink a beer or have some wine. ugh!!! It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't burn. Think you for starting this site now I don't feel like a weirdo! Oh sometimes I feel my feet burn as well. Has anyone experienced this too?
I recently started taking adderall for adhd. I had never experienced this red ear phenomenon until I started the medication. My Dr. told me that he believes it occurs for some when the central nervous system is stimulated (i.e., medication, stress, anxiety etc.,) It is essentially a form of blushing which is also a result of your CNS being stimulated.
