In the last few months I begun taking some dexamphetamine and just today I noticed my first gray hairs (two of them) lol. I am 32 so getting to that age but I was wondering if my amphetamine use would have anything to do with it. They say that ice ages people so I was wondering if this is a similar thing?

I am interested in hearing if other people have noticed this at all.

Thanks
 
It may not even be related to your drug use, some people start to grey in their 20's, it's not unheard of.
 
A lot of people have told me I've finally started looking my age in the last few months... personally, I'm not ruling heavy Adderall use out of the question as to why :\
 
The gray hairs will come when there is a lack of physical activity...
The people who start to go bald in their early/mid 20's have had no physical activity and are malnourished for years.

Amphetamines will cause you to age faster, however not that fast.

Take your vitamins, get at leave 20 minutes of running a day or longer if bike or swim.

Take care of your body, we all need to because we do drugs lol.
We need to compensate for what we're doing to our body's
 
I am roughly the same age and noticed a few grey hairs after taking dexamp for some time. I think it's probably co-incidental + don't rule out psychological overreaction. I realised, ultimately that I'd been able to find grey hairs in my lustrous crop of fur long before I was taking dex.

Unless of course you're taking a crazy dose...in which case I wouldn't rule it out. Sure it's been listed amongst other side effects on one or more reliable drug info websites. How about other physical blemishes such as acne, bags under eyes, weak fingernails etc. - any of those appeared?

BTW - Please state your dosage for the benefit of bluelighters thinking of answering.
 
While you are on the amps, if you're on them daily. Make sure you eat, and get enough sleep. And MAKE SURE you drink enough water

All 3 of these are extremely important and I can't stress it enough.

That's bullshit man, I'm a really active person and I eat super healthy and my hair is still thinning/receding.

However, I really don't know why, it could just be genetic, or starting drugs at an early age.
 
It very well could be genetic, but it is true that unhealty eating and lack of excercise will cause that... among other things
 
No, it's not. Long term methamphetamine use can cause early onset of severe Parkinsons, otherwise there isn't much that can speed up the aging process like that, and you wouldn't notice it with gray hairs.

There are other chemicals that can cause this and in a lot of cases it's irreversible. A good example is MPP+, it's a neurotoxin that kills brain cells and other things causing Parkinsons almost immediately. MPTP metabolizes into MPP+, and MPTP is an impurity from trying to make MPPP (analogue of pethidine). What's happening now isn't at all related to dextroamphetamine use and couldn't be.
 
Thats really what i said, amphetamine use/abuse will cause the aging process to go faster

But OP doesn't beleive it
 
dexamphetamine

Not sure how to reply to a thread I created about amphetamine use causing gray hairs or aging.

I was taking only around 20-25 mg per day for a couple of months. Also happened to chip a tooth slightly recently which is unusual as have had strong teeth with no fillings up until now.
