Hi I am 27.

My bro lost a lot of hair at 22 or so. Dad is near bald. Since 21.

I had no appreciable hair loss until 5 mo ago, I started Adderall XR then.
I quit a week and a half later.

Diffuse loss all throughout scalp. Esp on top perhaps.
Looks fine dry, when not wet. Looks full. I lost a third of volume though. Never came back.

Hair is longer and grows quicker off meds. I think I have lines that have no hair or maybe vellus hair.

I think going off meds for 6 mo will help. I am on dexedrine. Everything else like vyvanse and adderall had way more shedding.

Rubbing hands thru hair for a minute in the morn yields 30-50 hair. More when on meds for a few days straight.

I never saw hair on my pillow till I tried Adderall and the Vyvanse 7 weeks later.

Please help me.

Is this male pattern baldness? MY hair isn't worsening noticeably, but looks fuller off meds. The lines through my scalp don't reverse. But, 2 weeks or even 7 weeks is not long enough.

Advice please? Is this alopecia?
