Use of ADD medications 1 month post-FUE procedure, advice?

April 4, 2018
Asked By:MarkPietta in Toronto, ON

Hello, I'm a student in university who underwent a 2000-graft FUE procedure for the front of my hairline. To be safe, I have abstained from taking any one of my two ADD medications, those being Ritalin (Methylphenidate Slow-release 20mg) or Vyvanse (Lisdexfetamine Extended release 20mg). I feared that they might also cause vasoconstriction of the scalp and be detrimental to the survival of the new grafts. Were my fears warranted, and now that it has been 4 weeks, can I begin taking them again?
