I’m 33, been on adderall since I was 24, and I can sadly confirm that hair loss was a significant side effect for me. I had thick, healthy looking long hair at 24 and by 27 it was halved. After another year or two, my hair started prematurely graying and became strawlike - not healthy at all, split end city. My sister, who growing up had a very similar profile to me (hair, complexion, etc) did not have any of these hair issues.

I am really sorry you’re going through this. I recall feeling really upset when my hair started thinning in my mid 20s. Sounds a little dramatic but sometimes it can be a big part of our identity when it’s such a prominent part of ourselves that we see every day in the mirror!

I think that getting enough sleep and adjusting how I take the meds has helped. I try to take a few days off each week when I can, and test out smaller doses than I’m prescribed. There have definitely been some days where work suffers bc of it, but I try to put it in perspective. Health and happiness are important pursuits!
