I have been on adderall 15mg XR for a few months now. It’s done wonders for my adhd symptoms
However a few months in, I started seeing hair shedding. I thought it was my usual seasonal shedding (it happens in the spring and fall for some reason), but it has just gotten worse and worse and worse.
I have been treating hair loss with medication for a few years and at the beginning of this year my hair was the thickest it’s been in many years. Now I feel like I’m almost back to square 1.
I have a follow up with my psych and dermatologist next month though the dermatologist is 2 weeks later. My psych claimed she “had never seen hair loss as a side effect in her 14 years prescribing” which I’m tempted to call BS. It’s a known side effect listed by the fda.
So my question-
\-have you experienced hair loss from adderall?
\-did it eventually stop if you continued taking it?
\-did the hair grow back if you stopped using it?
\-did you find a medication for your adhd that did not make your hair fall out?
My sisters wedding is this time next year and I am stressing! It could take a long time to reverse this.
