SEX RELATED
im lost
while i have never been a sex driven person i always wished i was. when i started going out with my current girlfriend and began having sex with her i noticed that she wanted it more then i did. now she being a vergin when we meet i can understand but it has been months... during out relationship which is a GREAT one i have found myself thinking WHY do i NOT want sex... am i lazy? chemically imbalanced? this i delt with and am able to keep her happy.
the problem has gotten worse though since i have started taking adderol xr 20mg. i have noticed that i am WAY more open and talkative. inhabitions are lowered and i rathe renjoy the medication. i start feeling the adverse effects in bed though. my erections are not as strong and do not last as long as when i was not on the medication. compound that with a condom through which sensation is deminished( i have tried MANY condoms) and i feel like i cant get it up/keep it up... i stoped taking adderall xr for a month or so and the problem went away..
i would like to know if this side effect will decrease in the future because the medication helps me in college and at work a lot.
are there any over the counter meds i can take that would combat the lowered sex drive.. are any of those adds in the back of magazines real?
please point me in some direction.
pardon my spelling and grammer its 4:10 am

You should discuss with your doctor options such as Levitra, Viagra, or the herb Yohimbine.

It may be dangerous for you to use the yohimbe, which can raise blood pressure. And you are already taking a med, Adderall, that causes lisght BP elevations.
Talk to your doc before trying a non-prescribed med for your ED. You might also get your testosterone levels checked.

A doc does a blood serum lab test on your blood to determine if your levels are appropriate for your age. And if indicated, there are testosterone-replacment options, including a patch of injection. But one should dicuss all cost-benefits of replacement therapy with an informed doc. In any case, it does no harm to be tested.
Brain fog, ED, and depression are symptoms of low levels, so there is a small chance you may be a candidate.
