Is pain during electrolysis increased while on stimulant medication?

[Dana Michelle]

Does anyone know if stimulant medications like Ritalin and Adderall affect pain during electrolysis? I started taking Adderall recently (with a doctor's prescription of course) and in a few days will have my first electrolysis appointment since the lockdown started. I've heard caffeine increases pain during electrolysis, so I am worried it could be the same for stimulant medications.

Call your your pharmacist who fills the prescription.  I did check a drug encyclopedia and did not find anything to indicate it could increase your pain but you should have received a paper with the prescription.  The electrologist themself will also know if it would create a problem.  I would go to either of those people who know the job and risks,

I have a feeling that it does. But as Vicky said check with your doctor or the electrolysis.

I am thinking about going back myself. Everything was removed before except the lip line.

Been waxing it for years but I think it is about time to finish up.

It will be a big relieve not to have to worry about hair anymore you will love the after effects just not the doing so much. 

Good luck with your electrolysis it well worth having done.
