Adderall hair loss is the shedding of hair associated with the use of Adderall, a psychostimulant drug commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Adderall can lead to hair loss, which may manifest as thinning hair, increased hair shedding, or baldness.
Adderall hair loss is not an uncommon side effect of Adderall use, and it can be a distressing experience for those who experience it. The exact mechanism by which Adderall causes hair loss is unknown, but it is thought to be related to the drug's effects on the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Adderall has a long history of use, and it was first synthesized in the 1930s.
