I started taking adderall back in March or April.  I had a baby 13 months ago and know that losing hair after that is normal.  With my first son I stopped losing hair around 9mos.  I'm still losing my hair and it's a good bit.  I'm not bald but I'm clogging the shower every day.  If it keeps up I'll be bald.  The only thing I can think of is maybe it's the adderall.  Any one experiance hair loss on this medication?

I take a high dose of Adderall and hair loss has not been a problem. Also, in all of the clinical studies by the manufacturer there was not one reported incident of hair loss.

The caveot to that is that those studies were short-term, usually 4-8 weeks.

While you shouldn't rule out the Adderall, you may want to consider other factors first.
