Adderall most likely causing mild cystic acne and hair thinning. Solution- saw palmetto?

I am a 34 y/o female and have been taking Adderall for almost one year. I have always had a problem with a pimple here and there around the time of menses. But a few months ago, I have noticed cyst-like larger pimples along the areas on my face where I sweat when exercising (mostly along the side of my face near my hairline and jaw). I have also always had fine hair. But I have also recently noticed that it has been breaking easier and it feels as though there is less of it. My thyroid testing is normal, iron levels normal, etc., etc. I am a vegan. But I am a "healthy" vegan. I make sure that I get plenty of protein, veggies, etc. I even drink protein shakes. Biotin supplements have helped with hair growth. But it is still thin and breaking. Based on these two problematic symptoms, it seems as though I may go about trying Saw Palmetto. Has anyone else also tried this supplement for these reasons?
