Adhd medication and hairloss

Rich, thanks for writing. Those group of drugs, particularly Adderall, is whats known as an Amphetamine Salt. Pure speed, There is a drug in the U.S. that has been shown to be nearly identical in chemical structure to Crystal Methamphetamine. While this is a decision the Physician makes, the crux of it is this: Do the therapeutic benefits of this drug outweigh the potential damage caused by side effects? I confess I have never seen any studies regarding any potential links between that and hair loss, nor am I qualified to evaluate ADHD or ADD, but I am super familiar with these medications. FOR ME, I wouldnt touch that drug or others amphetamines if I didnt have to. I HAVE seen a ton of young folks coming off these meds, and it was horrific in terms of withdrawals. For that reason alone I would be very careful about using these meds.

Thanks for the response. I'll admit I've taken my friends medication a couple times (Dexys) and they have seemed to help me focus, but then again it will supposedly have that effect on anybody, according to a few documentaries I watched.

Yeah I dunno, I don't really want to become dependant on a drug, but part of the reason I went to get tested was for the diagnosis and not necessarily the medication - So far I was just asked really basic questions, I thought it would be a very thorough and scrutinous procedure but it feels like if you are able to check the boxes and pay for it, they will give you the medication, with a yearly update to pay again and repeat prescription.

Hey mate, this is a long shot, but what did you find with your experience?

I take Dexedrine and it causes diffuse hair loss.
