Hi everyone. I was recently diagnosed with inattentive ADHD (male 38). I take 20mg Aderall twice a day and It’s working for me to some extend but it really killed my sex drive. Today the doctor prescribed 150mg Wellbutrin in addition to Aderall.

Anyone else here on the same boat? I don’t like taking too much medicine so I’m skeptical. Also, do you guys take any other supplements OTC to increase cognitive abilities? I hear that Omega3 and l-tyrosine can help.

Sex drive isn’t killed by Adderall, but erections are. I have viagra to counteract it.
