Why am I losing so much hair?

I am 22 years old and am losing alot of hair every day. I dont understand why it is happening... I had a son 16 months ago. I breastfed him for a year but my hair didnt start falling out until 6 months postpartum. I took prenatals while pregnant but stopped them at 3 months postpartum. My hair loss started scaring me when it hadnt slowed down around 9 months postpartum so I started taking prenatals and hair+skin+nail vitamins. It seemed to help a little. When my son turned a year old I started taking adderall xr for my adhd. I hadnt been on it for 4 years ( took it from age 8-17). Of course then I had to stop breastfeeding my son. The adderall helped greatly with my adhd but also decreased my appetite. I eat two servings of regular oatmeal (with raisins and a little honey) for breakfast, a sandwich made with cinamon raisin bread with honey+ nutella spread plus a few pieces of fruit and vegetables from from pre-made trays you get in the grocery store for lunch, and then greek yogurt with a little honey for dinner. I dont drink much during the day but its always just water. My son isnt much of an eater either so I dont eat unless he does. My hair started falling out greatly again shortly after starting the adderall. I stopped taking vitamins when I stopped breastfeeding my son. I just dont know what to do... its not like I can shove food down when Im not hungry. Also, about a month after starting the adderall, I started running 3 miles on a hiking trail with my 26-pound-son in a backpack hiking baby carrier about three days a week. Does anyone have any experience with what I am going through or any advice please help anyone. Thankyou

How can I quickly and dramatically lower my high blood pressure?

My psychiatrist told me that if my blood pressure stays high he will not want to prescribe my Adderall anymore. Thing is, I've always had high blood pressure, it aint the Adderall doc. But he says he has a hard time prescribing it when it tends to increase blood pressure. I have two days til my next visit with him to fix this. I still smoke, I still drink, I still eat salty food...what's a boy to do?

What supplements/substances can be used in combination with Adderall to improve overall health?

----To all you Curious Georges and Intellectuals, I'm 20 years of age and have little fear of drugs, luckily I'm able to maintain a controlled need/want for them. I hope to put together an efficient daily regiment that works against the damage caused by the ill effects of the bad habits me and thousands of other people are so good at doing. SO, if you clicked this question to warn me Adderall and related amphetamines are addicting and blah blah blah i know that so please go worry somewhere else and gtfo.

----About two months ago I was prescribed Adderall(30 mg) IR 2-3 times a day for a minor case of ADHD and off-label use for my depression and anxiety disorder in combination with (100mg) of Imipramine taken at night. Unfortunately, there are always negative effects. My physical health has been suffering and i plan to improve that through necessary minerals/vitamins/other natural supplements/diet/exercise/etc..If u have tips and cool tricks post those too. (ex. found that Vitamin C removes whatever is left so i can sleep)
~~~Noticeable Negative Effects ~~~
----My skin, everyday cuts n bruises take a day or so longer to heal. skin looks slightly more transparent and splotchy on limbs and face (Skin usually covered by clothing much more opiate. Around my eyes are darker and dryer (I'm aware of sleep deprivation effects)
----My endurance is very limited, I'm 5'9 at 150lbs. Always been a sprinter, But recent months I get tired quick, I feel the same strength and power only 5-10 minutes or rest later, but its not too efficient, and annoying to stop n go stop n go.
----My heart beats hard and fast, the chance of an arrhythmia concerns me and is not only possible but common in Amphetamine use and abuse. So i would like to improve my cardio.
----Headaches,They occur maybe twice to 3 times a month and are most painful at the top of my head and sometimes above the right ear. They usually are the start of a crash and soon after severe exhaustion takes the course. anything that could reduce those would be nice/(anything that reduces crash symptoms) .....=)
----Minor Hand tremors, extremely annoying and frustrating. Someone suggested meditation and exhaling slow, it works but is temporary relief. They occur in general when my blood gets moving and hot, I'd like to know why and ways n tricks of reducing these side effects.

Currently taking

Adderall IR 30mg 2-3 times daily
Imipramine 100mg at night
Folic Acid 800 mcg in the morning with food
Flax Seed Oil 1000mg 2-3 times daily with food
Vitamin E 400 IU (iono what UI means o.O) 2-3 daily with food
Cod Liver Oil - 2-3 times daily with food

Thank You to all who reply =)
