(female) Help! I have been taking Adderall (d amphetimine salts) and now my long blonde hair is falling out from the root. How can I prevent my once thick head of hair from falling out further? I take this med. for adult ADD and it is difficult to think about not being able to take it - it works so dramatically. I usually take 15 mg/day. I have tried Provigil to no avail. What actions can I take immediately?

There’s no simple solution. Unfortunately, I can not give you treatment advice since I am not your doctor and I have not examined you to form an opinion. The only action I can recommend is to discuss this with your prescribing physician. Alternately, you can also seek out a good hair expert physician near where you live. Look at the physician search at ISHRS.org to find a hair doc in your area.
