No erection, sex drive, ADD and adderall

 whlile in heat considered as sex with your girl freind - or future girl freind grab a couple of ice cubes and put them in a small zip lock bag place them uder the bottom of ur ball sack rub them around for 2 minutes or 3 which ever if that doesnt work  i would advise u 2 ejaculate ur self while watching porn:-D

for slimguy. There's a book on the market called Coping with Premature Ejaculation. Written by Michael Metz. It's not just for those 'cliche' PE who shoot their wad before they even enter a woman, it also takes quite frankly about understanding how your body works, sexually. It's a great read and answers to your specific question there are answered in the first few chapters. It also educated me on how female sexual response occurs differently than male. Information is power and if someone told me about this book at 17, I'd be a much happier guy today. Check it out.

It is a side effect but in my honest opionion its all in your head. You're mind in running so fast and pumping so much blood to the brain that there isnt enought blood being brought to the penis even when turned on... and when you dont get a hard on as fast as you like you might think that the girl is getting turned off by this which upsets you and causes you over think about the entire situation... In the end if you really just let things go and concentrate on how good everything feels you will get a hard but when you do, expect to have it for awhile and to not get off during this time. Like i said its all an opinion but so far every girl i've been with has loved the sex on adderall... "when i do end up gettin it up"

try SLOW RELEASE niacin  - it pushes blood to the extremities. dont reg regular niacin though, it makes you feel like you're having a hot flash and does not last as long. Available at health, vitamin shops, cheap.

Thank God for this forum! Yes, I thought it was me too! I take Adderal 25 mg. XR everyday and sometime short acting if I have to work/have classes at night. I haven't noticed much personality change, but now my brain and now my privates don't always agree. It's so strange to have my mind aroused and my genitals soft! I know it's the drug, because it's so much not me. I am cutting it back as much as possible, but if that doesn't work I am going to ask my doctor to try me on Dexedrine or some other idea he may have on medication. I might also try that "turned on Goat Weed" and cutting down the dose. It seems that too much is what really does it, like when I need to use the extra dose at night.

Relax...it's not you, it's the drug! Tell your partner and work it out with them. If they can't handle it, they are not that committed to you.

Great forum. Really a life saver.

It's a bit goofy. I'm a 25M on 20mgXR currently, been on my prescription for roughly 2 years now and my sex drive is so high it's terrible. I feel like I'm a 16 yr old boy back in high school. Given having a healthy sex drive is one thing but I literally have to have sex or masturbate at least once a day. I'm in a good relationship but there's only so much a girl can take before she gets annoyed and it's rather frustrating when you're constantly turned on. Not sure what to do about it though since a decreased sex drive and chance of impotence is listed as a rare but potential side effect of adderall. Yet somehow I end up on the opposite end of the fence...

I have adult ADD and have been using the drug for about a year and have never been on any other drug.

The lack of ability is from the drug. It did it to me and before I was always in the mood.

Before Adderall I almost never had a problem getting and sustaining an erection unless I was really exhausted from exercise. After I was on Adderall for about 2 months, I had this same problem of "brain ready to go, but body disconnected".

I was on 25 MG of Adderall XR each day and a 20 MG 4 hour dose when I had a long work day. I had started to use the 20 MG 4 hour more often before the problem showed up. I thought I would cut that back and it would go away, but it didn't work. I had my daily 25 MG Adderall XR cut back to 20 MG and stopped the 20 MG 4 hour extra dose, but that didn't work either.

The disappointment of failure, and it still happening, started to be a problem itself. My wife has never had an issue with me in this area, so she was wondering if I was okay. She was understanding, but I was not happy at all.

I am now waiting to see my doctor next week. I did call to see about just stopping and putting up with being the way I used to be. I wasn't sure if it was safe to just stop. He said to go to taking it every other day or I could just stop if I wanted to and it was safe.

I purchased some empty gel caps and tried dividing the Adderall XR 20 MG into two caps of 10 MG and using these once a day. You have to use a mirror and a razor blade and the little XR balls are tough to work with, but it can be done. I didn't want to just go to zero because it helps me very much with my ADD.

At 10 MG the "problem" is gone. I have back a strong sex drive and things are like before I took the drug, in that area, but the ADD is affecting me more. My thinking is more muddled. I'm more easily distracted, more forgetful, etc. I wish I could have the benefits without losing a basic bodily function!

I tried every natural ADD cure and they just don't work very well for me. I might see a 10% improvement and with Adderall a 85% improvement.

I guess I am stuck at this point for now. I'm not giving up my relationship for the drug, period. Maybe back to being confused and forgetful, but happier in other areas.

I am hoping my doctor and I can figure out a better solution than just stop or live with it.

I also do not think this is a "rare" side effect! Many people are affected by this and complaining about it! Seems to be a common side effect of Amphetamine period.

Dude, no sex till marriage? The solution is a new girlfriend. You're staying erect because you're horomones want to seal the deal and then get let down.

you said your diastolic blood pressure is 173 mmHg and your systolic blood pressure is 60 mmHg (because blood pressure is read diastolic over systolic). YOU HAVE HYPERTROPHY AND THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! Hypertrophy is known as the silent killer, you really need to get it lowered. hypertrophy is anything above 140/90 for either diastolic or systolic

173/60 is very significant. Are you seeing a doctor? I want to be clear that I am not giving you medical advice because I am not yet an MD, but as a medical student, I just want to encourage you to consult your doctor about your bp

and btw, hypertrophy is not classified as a diastolic bp of 140 mm Hg. I think you mean hypertension, which just literally means high blood pressure. Hypertension should be diagnosed by a licensed physician. Stop harassing and belittling this gentleman's health. He sounds like a good spirited and successful dude. I just encourage you to go talk to a doctor and he can give you a proper diagnosis in light of many factors to consider, since a physician is trained to evaluate patients in light of the patients own world. I encourage individuals who are prescribed adderall or who just take adderall or any stimulant or any medication to talk to your doctor to about it. Don't be afraid or ashamed to tell the doctor the truth, I wouldn't worry about anything else than the medical care - they are there to try to help you... docs operate on the beneficence principle, they are not there to make you feel bad (think about it, would a doctor want to insult or offend his or her patients? doctors have to pay bills, they want patients and they want to try to serve their patients... and then of course still currently payment procedure most places). The bottom line is I highly encourage you be responsible and keep in contact with the doc and be straightforward... you're only helping yourself. Also, doctors are not there to try to get you in trouble, they are professionals and they are also oftentimes running a business. They want to get you better and serve your health needs. Also, it may seem insignificant but you could really change your life with exercise. I think it would be wise to ask your doctor about gradually incorporating exercise if the physician thinks you are healthy enough for exercise. Most medical text books agree that exercise can help push and circulate the lymphoid fluid ("lymph") throughout the lymphatic vessels through the body - this is a good thing. Most modern medical textbooks agree that this lymph in healthy individuals contains immune cells (aka lymphocytes aka white blood cells) that help stimulate immune responses against foreign antigen, as well as other pertinent cell factors and proteins essential for healthy immune response and even wound healing. This keeps us healthy and helps us fight off pathogens, and even tumors to some extent. Most medical textbooks would agree that exercise can help facilitate better peripheral blood flow, which should result in better oxygen perfusion. Most medical textbooks would classify adderrall as amphetamine and stimulant and thus are vasoconstrictors (increasing peripheral vascular resistance and thus increasing bp). It is something that has proven therapeutic value for some people but it should be monitored by a physician. Again I want to emphasize that I am not a licensed physician, I am only a medical student and am not giving you medical advice. You should consult a physician, to be evaluated to any disease or medical condition.

Im so mad right now. Just tried for about two hours to get an erection in order to get the deed done and nothing happened. I'm turned on and I can't get hard. But there is precum that doesnt stop oozing out. How is this suppose to help me to study later. I wish I would've been warned about this. 

I'm a 38 year old guy. I started taking Addy 2 years ago. It took me until almost 2 years to realize the addy was what effecting my sexual abilities. Yes, my soft penis shrinks to an inch or so (usually 3 inches or more when soft), but it also causes me to have troubles getting an erection. I am lucky to get it about 60-70% full, and the minute I start to orgasm, it quickly goes away.

 

What makes it worse is that it makes me so sensitive, I orgasm so quickly (maybe a minute at most). My sex life is in a shambles, and my wife rarely wants it anymore.

 

All the research i have done leads me to believe that cutting the dosage may help. I went from 90mg prescribed/day, to 15mg. Still no improvement. I figured that stopping all together would help... Well, my soft penis is back to normal, but I still have almost no luck with a full erection. I've gone as long as 2 weeks without, with no improvement. I've used Cialis, which helps, but the frustration of not being able to get back to normal after weeks of no use (addy, or cialis) is devastating.

 

God I hope this gets better. I've tried different herbs, and they don't seem to do the trick either.

 

I warned all my friends who are trying to get a 'script for addy, but they wont listen. The benefits of taking it are SOOOO not worth this.

Just a side note: Even at the age of 36, I would still get hard if the wind blew. Now I can get turned on in every corner of my body, but get very little reaction in the genital area.

Hey slim guy,

First of all prolonged use of adderall won't cause you to have longtern affects of the size of your penis. (Ill explain why in a bit) Now that that scary thought is out of your head were you using adderall when y'all first started dating? And are you sexually motivated(turned on) whenever you lose your erection. If you are turned on but you are going limp this is an issue that should be of concern considering your age unlike some of the others have said. Make sure to relax and not over think it. That alone could be the problem. The adderall could very likely be causing the problem as well and if you weren't using it when the problem occurred it could be making it worse now. The medicine affects your brain and mood very strongly. It is amphetamine for crying out loud. The shrinkage you are experiencing is caused by the affect amphetamine has on your blood vessels. Your penis is enlarged by a flow of blood after a signal from your brain. Every step of this process is heavily affected by adderall. You could try a lesser dose or discontinue use of amphetamines to improve your sex life. If the medicine isn't the problem talk to your doctor. Sex life is a big part of a relationship and if you feel like you aren't meeting your woman's sexual needs you could start to have problems in your relationship wheter she feels that way or not. Make sure and pleasure your girl in the meantime and try out messing around after not using your meds for a day. (This could make it easier to orgasm then it was before you started using the medication) another thought might be to warm yourself up in the restroom for a while and then come out and quickly began to engage with her. Dont get too fustrated and comunicate with her regularly about the issue. Sex sometimes is a big deal in relationships but communication is everything in a relationship. I hope everything works out for you and your lady, I really do. Also I hope my post was somewhat helpful. This my first time posting a comment on a forum or blog :)
