Common Questions and Answers about Adderall and increased libido

adderall

Avatar m tn Initially (for about two months), whilst I was on Ritalin I experienced increased libido and experienced really intense erections. These erections were not very painful and although maybe they lasted longer than usual and endured after orgasm. I am not sure this was priapism as they did not last for ridiculously long periods e.g. 4 hours (unless I did not notice them because I was asleep during them). Later these stopped completely.
1165127 tn?1279314277 In the past couple of months, I have noticed an increased libido - and this is causing a problem. My husband is convinced I am a "nympho" (his name, not mine) and that I should see a therapist or go to my doctor and get something to tone myself down, because no right person at my age (45) should want to have sex 2 or 3 times a day ... he says he is normal and only wants it a couple of times a week, but I still have to ask, or we don't even have that. Is something wrong with me?
Avatar n tn I have been taking Celexa and adderall together for about a year now and things have been working great. My only problem has been the sexual side-effects which have made my sex drive almost nothing. Because I entered into a serious relationship within these past couple months my doctor and I started discussing potential drugs that would increase my libido. She suggested Buspar. However, I have only been taking Buspar for two days and feel like it is having a counteractive affect on my adderall.
Avatar m tn My boyfriend has been on paxil since March, he was taking 40 mg of it a day. He has no sex drive and can't stay hard longer then 5 seconds. He cut his paxil by 25% each week and a week and a half ago he was started wellbutrin taking 300 mg and only 15 mg of paxil. 7 days ago he stopped paxikl completely.
Avatar m tn I am 38 years old and married. I was perfectly normal and having high libido with no problems of erection. I have been using A-Z multivitamin tablets (either centrum or boots) along with one or two fish oil capsules for the last 3 years. I had an ongoing hair fall since my teen ages, which sometimes slowed down, specifically when I was back home in Pakistan. When I was in the UK, the hair fall increased. It's in the family. It never completely stopped.
Avatar n tn I was curious about the effects of taking adderall had on motor neuron and glutamate function. I am currently in medical school and have been taking adderall for some time now and notice that when I am taking in caffeine along with adderall I experience muscle twitching within my arms, legs, and fingers. Previously to my arrival at school, I was checked out by a neurologist who performed a NVC/EMG and said everything was fine.
Avatar m tn mirtazapine and propanol. the adderral has helped me keep focus but it has also given me the side effects that i haven't felt since i was younger. I have been feeling increased anxiety, panic attacks that are unusual, nightmares and very pronounced depression. I also have been smoking maurijuanna but occasionally not too much. Theres so many variable that i don't know which is the main contributor to the increased depressive feelings.
Avatar m tn m 26yo and over the past month my chest has become puffy and my right breast is slightly larger than my left. They have increased fat deposit and i feel a glandular mass under the nipple. My doctor suspected it was my propecia(finasteride) 1mg i've been on since January and I stopped it 3-4weeks ago and there is still some tenderness. But in addition I was put on adderall about 1-1.5 months before that. Is it possible that the culprit is really the amphetamine and not the propecia ??
Avatar n tn Ever since he is on this medication he is showing increased signs of anxiety regarding food safety and some OCD traits (increased hand washing). His anxieties about his food possibly being poisoned are really affecting our home life and cause him true anguish. Is it possible that the medication is causing this dramatic increase in anxiety? What other meds could be used to help the ADHD aspect? We already tried Concerta which made him more aggressive?
Avatar f tn I had surgery in July and another to recluse the wound in August. My libido has went down since then. Now every time I have an orgasm is causes my nerves to jump in my left foot and start to tingle. Then about 10-15 minutes after the orgasm my foot starts to hurt. Is this normal ?
Avatar m tn I have had BV problems since I started taking Adderall xr, and wellbutrin. I actually went off these drugs - and the BV went away. I believe these drugs cause an imbalance of PH levels in the vagina, thus causing vaginal infections. I recently went back on adderrall after being off about 1 year (with no BV during that year) and guess what....after a month of starting to take the adderral again - HELLO BV.
Avatar m tn I have been prescribed and used adderall before (10mg and 15mg) and with these have experienced diminishment in sexual libido as well as difficulties in obtaining an erection. While I ran out of my regular capsules, a friend of mine offered to share a DEXEDRINE 10mg.
Avatar n tn I have been taking adderall for quite some time and have always felt abnormal side effects specifically with urinating and lower back pain. I spoke to my father and he said that he had prostatitis resulting from adderall. I then looked up prostatits and saw that most of my symptoms related to this condition. My question is, is it possible for the Adderall to cause a case of prostatitis and was it possible for the urethritis to either be caused by the prostatitis or mistaken for it?
Avatar n tn Then the following day is marked by apathy and irritability. Symptoms improve after one day of no Adderall (and a break helps prevent tolerance). Taking Adderall also increases my heart rate, and I feel physically more nervous, despite anxious thoughts not being present. I would like to remain on Adderall, as the treatment for my ADHD has given me a substantial boost in confidence and learning, which has been invaluable and overshadows its negatives.
Avatar f tn No, I think they may be too high because of the recent cystic acne and increased libido that I've been experiencing. An increased libido may sound like a blessing but it's not... I can't think about anything else and just keep falling further and further behind in my work. I really can't afford to be so distracted and the thought of cheating on my husband or crossing any lines with coworkers terrifies me.
Avatar f tn s a good idea for fatigue and low libido but for someone anxious as you are? Bad idea! Did you cut the Adderall or Ritalin, I don't remember which one you are using.
Avatar f tn 3 days ago i started a low dose of adderall for my depression. I have heard of it being used to treat depression, for when other antidepressants dont work. But is it safe to take Adderall for a long time?? not sure.
1346429 tn?1303874854 My sex drive has remained the same. However, my husband and I were talking about sex during pregnancy the other night and even though he was in the room when the doctor said sex is perfectly fine during pregnancy, he told me he won't do it. He's too freaked out by there being a baby in there. Too bad for me. LOL.
Avatar f tn Are you taking AdderallXR? How long have you been taking the medicine? I'm 33, 5'3", 135 lbs. and am experiencing similar symptoms. I am on AddXR 20mg and have been taking it for about 6 months. I didn't seem to have any problems until a few weeks ago. My blood pressure has skyrocketed along with my pulse and I've started having heart palpitations.
Avatar f tn For the past few months my sex drive seems non existent. I have a girlfriend who I've always found very attractive and haven't had any relationship issues with. I'm 23 I smoke cigarettes and take adderall both which I've done for years without issue. Also I'm 6'3 and 150 lbs I've always felt my drive was low but nothing like this. Could I have low testosterone or could it be something else?
Avatar f tn My wife can go forever without lovemaking. In marriage it is important for strengthening bonds and togetherness and it also builds the relationship. Wow, just to have her want me that way would be so awesome.
506259 tn?1228788619 After 3 days, I tried the adderall and like magic - no pain again. Can anyone explain this phenomenon. Did being on adderall for a year and a half create the fibro symptoms after completely off of it, and then after months of physical problems, taking a little relieved the horrible pain? I find nothing on this, and my psychiatrist said it is not typical by any means. However, this, in my personal case, is the honest to god truth.
Avatar f tn I recently had to switch my add meds from adderall xr to vyvanse and I am on day 2 and I feel like I havnt taken anything. I am extremely tired, have anxiety with everything going on around me at once, and I cant concentrate at all, I walked around my kitchen for 15 minutes not knowing why i wass but knew there was a reason then finally got my car keys that i was needing to get in the first place. Is this normal?
Avatar n tn t taken a dose of adderall since then (Thursday March 27, 2008) and today (Saturday March 29, 2008) the phenomena seems to have ceased. I am going to the Dr. tomorrow and tell him this. My question is three fold: 1) how common is it for adderall to cause heart palpitations? 2) how serious are palpitations? and 3) should I dose as prescribed on Monday before going to the Dr. such that if the palpitations are a problem, that they might recur for diagnosis?
Avatar f tn When I don’t wear them mailboxes and road signs are blurred. But after I Took the Adderall I could see and read the signs from farther away with out my glasses. I have been trying to make sense of this. Do any of y’all have any insight?
Avatar f tn I recently began taking adderall for ADHD and extreme fatigue and exhaustion caused by Lyme. When i started taking it, the Morgellons skin symptoms became significantly worse. There are fibers and deeply embedded, thick filaments projecting from lesions on my face. (Quick Morgellons lesson: the fibers/filaments in the lesions are made of keratin and collagen produced by skin cells as a response to a complex bacterial infection. The keratin and collagen are produced in massive quantities.
Avatar m tn I am 29 and was just put on Axiron for 2mths to see how it goes for my low t level of 282. I was wondering how long does it take to start noticing the effects of it. I started on 2/14/14 and it's now 2/28/14 and I havet noticed anything. Side effects really like headache every now and then, burns when it is first applied, rarely the slight feeling of being nauseous. My urologist has me using 2 pumps under each arm per day.
