Does Amphetamine Salts Cause Addiction?

I have been using amphetamine salts 10mg 2X a day and I noticed hair shedding and breaking off about a week after. I was previously taking concerta and noticed the hair loss also. Is this normal? Will my body become immune to it eventually and the hair loss stop? When I dont take it even for a day my hair does not shed that day.
