ncsbaddes...i'm a male of 25yrs in age and i have been taking a prescribed narcotic by the name of Adderall XR (b.k.a.-amphetamine salts) and i have noticed hair loss atop of my head, in the middle of my scalp. I want to know if there's a way to stop the hair loss or just cease the active doseages of Adderall completely to stop this hair loss???
Can taking adderall XR cause hair loss in young men?

Hair loss is not a reported side effect of Adderall.

Your hair loss could be genetic. Did your father lose hair at an early age? There are medicines your doctor can prescribe, and medicines available over the counter, to slow the process. For more information see the link below.
