Dexedrine and libido loss

Posted by Darko on January 25, 2003, at 21:52:20

Hello,

I'm a guy. I've been seeing a Psychiatrist for over two years. A recent diagnosis is Addult ADD.

Until the diagnosis, I was on 37.5 mg of Effexor (anxiety) and 300 mg of Wellbutrin (to offset the Effexor's libido hit). With this combination, the sex stuff was doing ok. There was adequate desire, physical response, and performance time (not too quick, not too slow).

For the ADD, in addition to the above, I am now also taking two 15 mg Dexedrine spansules - one in the morning and one in the early afternoon. The Dexedrine is working wonders. I am so happy with it. The spansules are working perfect, I don't feel it coming on and I don't feel it coming off.

My only issue with the Dexedrine is it has wiped out my labido. I can't even get interested enough to find some x-rated material just to see if I can follow through. Zero desire. What boggles me is that I know many Gay men who love crystal meth because they have great sex on it. I wonder why they have great sex on meth and I feel frigid on Dexedrine. I'd love to hear if people share my experience or not. And are there any tricks (no pun intended) to get the libido jumping again. Thanks a bunch.

For me, amphetamines always increased my heart rate and blood pressure so much it caused me to get winded before orgasm, so I couldn't orgasm. I'm a guy.

But all I ever hear is how amphetamines are so great at reducing impotence. Well, maybe. Yeah, I hear that methamphetamine (Desoxyn, as it's pharmaceutical name is) is great for sex... but I've had to take Desoxyn for my ADD before, and it is just as bad.

Oh well. Maybe some are in better shape or something?

Thank you for the post, utopizen. At this point, the Dexedrine is helping the ADD condition so much that losing the species preservation drive seems like a reasonable sacrifice.

Probably, in the future, science will fix things.
