ADHD MEN: meds advice (ritalin=impotence)
Hello all ADHD MEN,
Need advice about meds: I'm a healthy mid-30's male with raging ADHD,
recently diagnosed (finally!). Been on ritalin (2 doses of 20mg, 2 hours
apart) - results are great, but unquestionably it gives me boner-loss :-(
No good! Wife threatening to flush meds... ;-)
Please recommend other good meds. Parameters are:
- same focusing/calming effects as ritalin
- no erection-loss, obviously
- longer duration would be nice, like 4 hours or greater
- price not an issue
- minimal side effects
Would like personal experience info with Dexedrine, Desoxyn, Adderall in
particular. Any others?
thanks,
Soupy
P.S. BEFORE ANYONE GOES OFF ON A RANT about the need for me to get
professional advice, and each person is different and all that - I KNOW! I
am just trying to gather subjective experiential info so I can be better
informed in the discussion which will follow with my health care provider.
Thank you.Hey Soupy,
I'm taking 10mg. of AdderallXR at 8am in the morning and then another
10mg around 2pm. No problems in the bedroom.
My experience with Ritalin and Dexedrine were the same as yours. While
Ritalin and Dexedrine helped my focus ALOT, Adderall doesn't seem to
help there as much.
My diagnosis was recent - last summer. I'm working with my doc to find
the best overall med/s. He has recently suggested a combo of Ritalin and
Wellbutrin. We'll see how that goes.
I dislike the trial and error thing. My body hates it, but it's pretty common
to work through a few before finding the right medication.
Tell your wife to hang in there. It'll be OK.
