Hi there,
I don't usually vent or talk about this stuff, especially online, but I just want to know that some people have/are experiencing the same thing as I am. About 18 months ago, I was perscribed ritalin and before I knew it, I was hooked. I never took more than was prescribed (40mg per day) but I never missed a dose. I loved the feeling of being on a stimulant so much that I was drink coffee with my meds nearly all day. The ritalin became weak and wore off very quickly as I became accustomed to the dosage. I came up with the genius idea that I was going to ask my doctor for time released adderall. To make a long story short, I got it, 25 mg XR. I took them everyday (along with ALOT of coffee) religiously for about the last 3 months.
I got a girlfriend, and for the first time in my life, I had trouble keepin it up. I never even considered quitting adderall because everything in my life was better, but this was an awakening to me, and I knew I had to stop, and that this stuff was not good for me. I graduated college and do not need them anymore, so why not quit right? It's been about 15 days since I've last taken adderall and manage to have only a maximum of two cups of coffee a day. I have depression, and severe lack of motivation, but I shrug it off, knowing its only withdrawal symptoms. I can deal with that. The part that scares me, is the loss of my sex drive. Before being lost in the ADD pill world, I was pretty much harder than a prosthetic leg all the time. But now, I dont get morning erections, dont really think about sex, cant get hard when I do, and I really have to work it to get it up. When its up, its workable, but it aint no prosthetic leg like it used to be. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me how long it will be until my sex drive returns. I don't care how long it takes, I am just worried that I did permanent damage because I am 22 and I should be wanting to have sex with everything that moves (not really, but you know what I mean). Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.. Thanks!
i have a very stupid suggestion.. take lots pf pot(drugs) but take the drugs still. starting with about 8 mg of what u were on.. u really cant drop off them like that,, it's not good for your body
u can ask doctors but.. anyway..
you need to slowly over 3 to 6 monthes change the dosage, to smaller amounts.
try to up the dosage of pot, and you will possibly feel a lot better and life will be normal again
i only learnt about huge pot from a person that came from the country... so i don't know what happeneds with others but it's gotta be better then these other crazy drugs. !!!
