.... how many of the aforementioned subjects experiencing hair loss women? and if so are you on birth control?
Thanks for the replies everyone. To answer someones question earlier, yes I'm a girl, no I'm not on birthcontrol or any other medication, no i'm not pulling my hair unknowingly I'm 100% aware of my actions on and off the drug, and for the tenth time I still eat on adderall and am not nutrient deficient. My body adjusted to the drug so I don't have that shitty a comedown and after 3 to 4 hours of 20MG IM I have a regular appetitite.
I pretty much take every B Vitamins, I use Nioxin and almost all things imaginable. Nothing works that's why I'm turning to this thread. It's amazing that after such short amount of usage my hair can thin that quickly. Not like I've been taking it for months or anything.
It's not so much FALLING out as it is THINNING though. Like the space in between each hair has widened a great amount and has also made the actual hair thinner and my part is getting bigger. Agh just so traumatizing.
BTW wellbutrin makes your hair thin too, i took it in jan and stopped after a month because of that reason and then my hair stopped thinning. It has a mild stimulant in it aswell. Look up wellbutrin & hairloss on google, billions of sites dedicated to women and some men freaking out about it.

Are you saying you take the drug intramuscularly?
Yea.. try having severe ADHD and try to complete 4 online college classes... you can't imagine the headaches I get, they are like someone skewered my eyeballs and branded my brain.
Nutrition may play a part, but what about vasoconstriction? I don't know how much blood (and, from that, nutrient flow) flow plays a role in hair production. If follicles need much blood flow, then I could see Adderall hurting their ability to produce strands of hair.
If not, then I dunno. I know hair is "dead" and mostly keratin, but that's as far as my hair and scalp knowledge goes. Adderall, with it's impact on metabolism and body temp definitely keeps the greasy part of our scalp going, but some dude who isn't as drunk or ignorant as me is going to have to take that further.
