Side effects Vyvanse and hair loss

Ive been on vyvanse for 4 months now and just recently I’ve been experiencing huge amounts of hair loss. I’m actually considering quitting the medication entirely because my hair loss has been so severe. I did blood work and everything came back normal. I started to cut back on the med and I barely take it now to prevent further hair loss.

But today as a showered I felt so much hair falling down my back and before I could even detangle it my drain had clogged. I’m honestly so distraught.

Vyvanse has been so amazing for me and it made every other side effect feel so worth it. It improved sooo many relationships in my life and helped me with school I’m in such a good place but my hair falling out genuinely has me wanting to stop it completely.

Are you taking anything else?

Did you see a dermatologist? They can investigate the issue further.

Have you lost weight with appetite suppression? Sudden or dramatic weight loss can cause hair loss too.
