question please read ? | ADHD Information

Anxiety can cause hair pulling or other similar things. Anxiety can be improved with ADHD treatment if the anxiety is caused by the struggle of dealing with ADHD. Alternativly, anxiety can be made worse with stims in some people. Discuss this concern with the doc. As Iganio said, it might require some med for anxiety for a while.I tend to pull at my hair (but not pull it out) or rub my head when i'm getting really frustrated, it doesn't happen much when on the meds (Dexamphetamine and Catapres) but often when the meds have worn off. Not child doing those behaviors, but myself.  I tend to find that I get really focused on something and just sit for hours sometimes messing with it.  Whether it be my hair, or skin, or whatever.  Is it a possibility that the meds are too much in terms of mg?has anyone had a problem with there child pulling there  hair out on meds adderall.concerta etc bald spots ?concerned really upset about it some say it is stress others say its the med s doing it anyone with the same problemMy son did that prior to meds and continued to do it on concerta and adderall.  He needed some Lexapro to help with that.  Since we have started on Lexapro, he is much better!!
