I feel like I take longer to finish when on the meds. Feel like I’m horny all the time when I take meds. Orgasms also feel better on adderall.

Off meds. Haven’t tried anything else. My psychiatrist moved out of state as well and haven’t gotten a new one.

Keep up your fitness.
Adderall is not a substitute for exercise.

Physically more agile and better stamina, in a gymnastic sense

Low libido when on meds. Wears off by the evening. Haven’t experienced an long term effects

Is it correct to say it’s low when at work or keeping busy with other stuff. But if you open up the “can of sex” you hyper focus and have high drive possibly?

Well….regarding drive, performance, and finishing time, let’s just say I went from Henry to Hercules

Lol! Do you ever hyperfocus on it and it ruins your day instead?

It is a known fact that ADHD medication impacts blood flow. As a guy, our units (haha) rely on blood flow.

That’s when you start listening more closely to anyone of the 500 ED commercials on sports tv/radio stations

No difference. M here. If you’ve been taking for long, it doesnt have an effect. Occasionally anyone going through certain tough periods may have a low libid.

Definitely taking longer to finish. Drive has dropped though.

One method I’ve found helpful in developing solid “soft skills” in Big 4 consulting is to deeply educate myself across the field of social engineering.

Thoughts?

I’ve had enough. I may or may not have ADHD but I damn think so, as well as people I’ve talked to about it. I know I am smart and can accomplish certain things/tasks, but I literally just can’t get my mind to it sometimes. It was bad in college and only got worse since I started working. How do I go about at least getting tested or what’s the the process? Thank you so much in advance.
