A member asked:

I took 1/2 phentermine pill in mid jan. (friends script) i have hair follicle drug test tomorrow so should i be concerned about results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) will show up as Dextroamphetamine in a hair follicle drug test while Phentermine shows up as methamphetamine. Both are derivatives of amphetamines which has the probability of giving a false positive result. In any case, if you are going to have a drug test, inform them first of your taking prescription drugs so they will be forewarned about any positive results that you might have.

A grey patch of hair developed on my head in 2018 (it's positioned like a fat strand at the mid frontal of my hair). Also in 2020 I developed unilateral SSHL :(. Do you think these two things can be linked? Waardenburg sydrome? or just Poliosis?
