A member asked:
Has vyvense been known to increase rate of male pattern baldness? 30yo started meds, same time hair began falling out, now i'm 33 n have the horseshoe
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, hair loss: is a potential side effect of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). Male pattern baldness is generally hereditary, but taking Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) could potentially increase the rate of hair loss. If the hair loss is distressing and you are still taking Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine), consider discussing alternatives with your doctor. Using Rogaine may be helpful in slowing continued hair loss.
