    This didn't seem to belong anywhere else so I'm putting it here.

    Is anyone here regularly take Adderall and found it to mess with your sex drive? I have ADD and have been taking it for a few years now. A few months ago my dosage went up a little bit because of work, but as of about two weeks ago my sex drive has just completely disappeared. I'm not getting aroused at anything. normally I would think it's the result of too much porn over the years, but I'm about 10-ish days into a reboot and haven't had any desire build back up at all. Once or twice I've come across stuff that would normally trigger me (accidentally, not edging) but I just don't feel anything. I haven't O'd in like...a week, so I should be supercharged...but it just feels useless.
    I have an appointment and I'm gunna talk to my Dr. about it, but I was just wondering if anyone else here has had experience with this?
     
  2. I have bipolar disorder, and this is a tricky question. I take lithium and seroquel for medication and i did noticeably see a drop in sexual desire being on them. However, I also struggled with porn for 15 years and I would say that caused a lot of my erectile dysfunction. I'm currently on meds and after 91 days on NoFap I can have sex again and i am still on bipolar meds. I never tried Adderall so I can't say but talk to your doctor. Meds may play a part but talk to your doctor but in the meantime continue your nofap journey.

  3. The pill company needs to let the drug users know that they affect your erections and stuff so you don't feel like oh porn did it only when other things were involved
     
  4. Now since no meditation is taken and you are free of the porn addict you slowly regain theme erections??
     
  5. Well the makers of ed pills just another way to keep your on the money paying am I right
     
  6. well said. Of course they want you to have a porn addiction so you can keep buying that's like the same with any company especially cigarette companies.

    yea, I had a problem sleeping when I first started taking it. Try taking it early in the day so it has a chance to get out of your system before bed. You might also want to try taking melatonin for sleep, that's what works for me.

    OK so pharma can save lives but can also cause side effects. Read the labels, you have to educate yourself! Yes pharma is a huge business, much like all the others. Adderall and sleep is a timing, 1/2 life issue, place close attention and hopefully you will find benefits that outweigh the risks/side effects etc.


    wishing you well on your journey. J

    At times I also worry about getting addicted, but I notice such a huge difference between my ability to focus and what I can get done when I'm on it. It makes me feel like I'm a bit closer to being the person I'm suppose to be.

    Adderall is synthetic meth: Amphetamine sulfate, Amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, Dextroamphetamine sulfate, Dextroamphetamine saccharate.

    Notice how the word amphetamine is in all of them!!

    As someone who is an ex methamphetamine user, i can say for certain it definitely affects your sex drive. For me it increases it drastically, as it turns on the same reward system that makes us want to use porn, or eat, or ect. The dopaminergic system. It does make release harder though... which can cause the affect of a flat line or something similar in people, it depends on the person i believe.
