Adderall

[boston]

I used to be prescribed Adderall for about four years. I don’t take it anymore but still have a prescription. I remember i used to get really horny on it and have a raging sex drive. I could perform better in the bedroom. I’m wondering if Adderall would help my current situation with ED and loss in libido.

… " it is believed that Adderall works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine into the presynaptic neuron and increasing their release from the presynaptic neuron into the extraneuronal space. In other words, Adderall reverses the reuptake mechanism, turning it into a pump instead of a vacuum. Sources note that amphetamine and related compounds (ephedrine, etc.) displace noradrenaline from the presynaptic neuron and do not act as reuptake inhibitors as referenced above." (Wikipedia, 2007).

I’d have to say when I take it sometimes it makes my sensation and penis feel better sometimes. It seems to increase blood flow down there and things seem bigger. I know its not just the placebo response from the stuff. There’s something about the blocking of the dopamine I think. Does this have anything to do with whats in that “Edge Effect” book?
Anyway, I’m wondering if this could help me, or does anyone think the contrary at all?
I wonder if this could help me?

Adderall used to increase sex drive for me but also gave me ED issues… It doesn’t seem to do anything to me now.

adderall is interesting in that it acts as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor (like ritalin) but also agonizes serotonin receptors, so while it increases libido (thank you dopamine), it decreases erectile potency and orgasm potency (fuck you serotonin).

This has been discussed previously. Adderol is an ADD drug, an upper. It’s chemical name is dextroAMPHETAMINE. It is bad stuff, basically legal speed. Please, if anyone has another idea about taking this drug do some research before raising this thread from the dead.

Even for users who have been issued a prescription, Adderall has a high potential for abuse and addiction. In the body, it acts as does the serious drug, methylphenidate, and can cause seizures, heart attacks, high blood pressure, stroke, and death.

Common side effects of Adderall usage or abuse include anorexia, dry mouth, chronic thirst, the development of sleeping disorders or generalized difficulty sleeping, chronic headaches or migraines, pain in the stomach, high blood pressure, sudden and unexplained weight loss, mood swings or other emotional changes, nausea with vomiting, sudden dizziness or fainting, a generalized feeling of weakness or tiredness, a sudden spike in heart rate, a higher risk of infections, unexplained fevers, heartburn, chest pains, and a slowing of growth in children. Those who use the drug for an extended period of time may also experience severe withdrawals, periods of depression, and with extreme abuse, amphetamine psychosis. While some of these side effects are normal, you should let your doctor know about any that you experience.

More adverse side effects that should be immediately reported include suicidal thoughts or suicidal actions, sudden confusion or a feeling of displacement, a tightness in the chest with pain spreading throughout the back and the arms, heart palpitations, the inability to breathe or shortness of breath, feelings of depression or despair, changes in behavior such as becoming more aggressive or more shy, performing actions you do not recall or do not understand, experiencing visual, auditory, or sensory hallucinations, feeling restless or constantly having the need to move about, seizures or “black out” periods, a sudden rash or the development of hives, and uncontrollable bodily movements, commonly of the head, mouth, or appendages. These side effects usually indicate that your body is not reacting well to Adderall and that you should seek medical assistance.

In very rare cases, individuals have reported experiencing extreme tiredness or lethargy, constipation or changes in bowel habits, sudden and uncontrollable shaking of the body, profuse sweating without physical exertion, erectile dysfunction or a lack of sexual desire. While these are not always serious, they should still be shared with your doctor. He or she will be able to determine the cause of these side effects and whether or not your dosage will need to be lowered or changed to a different release formula.
