    Impact Of Adhd Medication On Hair Loss / Thinning?

    I responded to you in private, Spooon. But I got off on tangent (sorry about that) and am verbose. Off my meds... lol. Anyways: I didn't really "reverse" the hair loss, as I don't think I had hair loss until I went on ADHD meds. So I used spironolactone cream and it didn't worsen. I wanted to...

    Impact Of Adhd Medication On Hair Loss / Thinning?

    Adderall is more forceful as in "whatever I'm working on, I'm going to finish it in the next 2 hours!" Whereas Dexedrine, due to it's more dopaminergic affects (and lacking norepinephrine effects in comparison to mixed amphetamine (racemic L and D- amphetamine salts - Adderall), is more I have...

    Impact Of Adhd Medication On Hair Loss / Thinning?

    Vasoconstriction? Cortisol levels - stress increases. Something like that, causes telogen effluvium maybe. It happens to many... I'm sure far more than 1/100 or 1/1000 like manufacturers claim. Dexedrine XR and Dexedrine IR caused far less shedding for me than Adderall and vyvanse. I never...

    Impact Of Adhd Medication On Hair Loss / Thinning?

    I agree they're both overdiagnosed in some segments, but also underdiagnosed in other segments. In a school with 70 kids per class room, it's unlikely that 10 of them have ADHD. And as far as more severe disorders like Bipolar and Schizophrenia, I doubt a 6 or 10 year old actually has them...

    Impact Of Adhd Medication On Hair Loss / Thinning?

    I don't think mine is the usual case, but difficulty driving, not being able to keep an agenda or planner till I was like 24 or so. Terrible handwriting. Capable of getting 100's, but getting 60's, 70's at times. 87 average grade 9, 60-65% average full I.B. in Grade 10, Normal school: 88%...

    Impact Of Adhd Medication On Hair Loss / Thinning?

    I just want to let you know that indeed stimulant medication can cause hair loss. As do many psyche drugs. I had ZERO visible hair loss until, I tried Adderall XR at 26.5 years old. Within days, I lost 100's of hairs on my desk, computer, bed, clothes, sink, etc. It was horrible. I freaked...

    adderall xr - can it cause male pattern baldness or at least worsen it?

    That's weird I had a whole post - was going to edit it to remove some so it was more concise. I see only the blank white screen (text input box), and I guess what I wrote before was completely removed. Anyways, yes there is a study of alopecia occurring in the administration of Vyvanse...

    Re: Diffuse thinning -- Stick to spironolactone (have results of no shedding ) or *start finasteride.

    Hi All. I use spironolactone s5 cream for diffuse thinning. I had no noticeable hair loss (and I'm paranoid about such things) until I was 26, and I very briefly took Adderall XR. Then extremely quickly I shed and never grew hairs back. Fast forward months later, I was on S5 cream and eventually stable...

    Will Histogen be enough for a diffuse thinner with lots of hair left?

    Hi. I am new here. Posted a few x. It isn't working. I am sorry if my threads all pop up tomorrow. Also I messaged a couple members and got a message back, that was just a copy of what I sent them... I don't know. Anyways, if someone has a lot of hair still and it isn't worsening by...
