a medication question...do certain prescription drugs affect your penile health?

Hey all,

Haven’t posted here in a long time. For all those who I used to be real chill with, I’m doing well in college and my sex life is great!

My question for all members is this: Have you had any side affects from taking certain prescription drugs? Specifically affecting growth, impotence, flaccid length, and overall penile health.

I recently got prescribed to adderal for ADHD, and as it turns out I cannot get a proper erection. It completely takes away my sex drive. Now, keep in mind I have been out of the game as far as jelqing and working out lil rambo, so I’ve been on an intense campaign to see if PE can fix this problem. So far no luck. I’m convinced the stimulants have a large hand in creating this problem.

Comments, stories, questions, ideas…give me a little input on this one guys.

Thanks!

Check google and you will find that you are not alone with your problem.

i have an Adderral script too and i’ll give some observations.

Dose has a lot to do with it. I find that taking whole 20 milligram Extended Release’s is where you will start to notice problems.

For me, 10 milligrams will have no affect. In fact, I find it improves sex immensely. You will last a little longer and since for me, in euphoria from the drug, it’s just great.

Also, how often you are taking the drug will be the Determining factor. Personally, off a single dose, I can do six day’s work in eight hours. Therefore, i only take it once and a while.

It’s possible that if you’re taking it daily it could compound the problem. In fact, I can completely imagine have a lot of chronic erectile problems if i was taking daily 30 milligram doses. On that dose, my flaccid would shrink to such a small state that just looking at it is sad. And it gets sadder when it takes a good ten minutes to get it up.

It all has to do with circulation. You’re just not getting as much blood down there as usual. It’s just like Cocaine addicts who start to have problems. And seriously, I feel it’s not far off from coke at higher doses.

Above erectile problems, I would watch out with this stuff. There was a time when i felt like i was becoming addicted, and i just taking regular twenty milligram doses. How often do you take it a week? What’s your dose.

Also, I found Immediate Release was a lot more stressful on my system and my unit. Seriously, that stuff would make me wanna scream. It’s insane how much better the XR version is. It’s also insane how much more expensive it is.

How bad is your ADD? Can you get by on a lower dose? Can you start tapering down? Placebo works well with Adderral, and by that I mean that a 5 milligram dose for me gives me enough confidence to do work simply because i know i have some in my system, even if it’s a little bit.

Hey smcan2

Sorry to be a nuisance, But can you do a check on your posts when you have typed them. Things like i instead of I are a bit off-putting.

I notice you do use the Capital I occasionally, so a read through of your post before submitting would make for more pleasurable reading.

Thanks

I take 10mgs twice daily…that leaves me with such a sad flaccid that I feel like a 3 year old…I haven noticed that if i only take 5mg I can perform. I just came to the realization that the more I take 5mg consistantly the less I have the problem. All I know is this shit is weird but it is good to know there are others with the same problem!

Ahh..see there we have a difference. Imagine adderal as a cup of coffee. Every morning most people wake up with no caffeine in them. Some start the day with caffeine naturally…and if one of these people had a cup they would be hyperactive for a few hours. Now, stay with me, I wake up every morning as if I’m crashing off of a cup of coffee. I wake up with a deficit. To correct this I take the adderal and I’m back to 0+…did that make sense? So are you prescribed??

Which is why I felt that jelqing while on the medication could be useful…its very difficult…

Could you define stressful for me in this case?? What was it doing besides the obvious lack of blood? XR is better in general or just in the case of your unit?

My doctor mentioned this term “placebo” after I told him about this problem…what are your thoughts on this? One would think that having this psychological problem could cause a lot of long term problems…which cannot be corrected with medication.

But 5mg still works well for me. Thanks for your in depth observation by the way, this is a fascinating topic for the both of us I’m sure…after all its only our minds and bodies.

If by placebo, he means that it’s in your head with the connection between the difficulty and the drug, he’s probably a little off. It does happen, but there is a little truth to it. I know when I used to think “I’m definitely not going to be able to get it up”, then I couldn’t get it up. In some ways, it’s a self fufillling phropecy. It’s definitely not going to help. However, when on the lower dose, you have an increased thinking that “I can get it up”, so it can work positively for you in that way.

I did find the XR gave me more erectile problems because I was just stressed from it all over my body. It might have been an individual reaction because a lot of people like the immediate release, but once the doc changed my prescription to XR I noticed that I was not having the same stress reaction when I came down off the medicine. It was during the come down’s that I had the greatest difficulty.

My ADD’s not too bad . Definitely try some Ginkgo Bilboba, Arginine, and Panax Ginseng. That will positively affect your mind in confidence and give you physical affects like circulation.

Do you work out? I found that in combination with a diet with less carbs and sweets really helped my ADD. B- vitamins plus a Cal-Mag vitamin also worked.

As long as you never take straterra, you should be OK. Now that was killer on everything sexual.

Right now, I”m dealing with my girlfriend. She dips into my Addy script quite often. Females always wanna lose weight, even when they look great.

Do you ever notice hair loss with Adderral? I don’t seem to lose any more hairs than usual, but all of a sudden, my hair’s been thinning in the back, just a little bit. Weird since I’m only 23.
