Adderall and ED??

[ark Member Find all posts View Profile Close ark]

Hey guys, i just had a couple questions about my current situation.

For about the past 3-4 day's, i have noticed my penis "turtiling" the majority of the time threw out the day, and night..and it sucks.
Even when i attempt to get an erection, it will go back into turtiling almost immediately after I am finished with my erection. Also,
I tried last-night, and this morning in the shower to get a fully erected penis. As in rock hard, and it is very difficult I really
had to put effort into it. Last night's attempt was somewhat successful, but this morning i ended up giving up.. i was running late for class.
When normally for me, it is rather simple for me to get a complete erection. I've never encounter this problem before.

As of right now i'm 20 years old, and have an active lifestyle (i'm in shape). The only thing i can think of is adderall. The reason I
bring adderall into the spotlight is because i was just prescribed it, maybe 2 weeks ago. So i've been taking it for about.. 10 days
all together now. It's a 20mg generic adderall, non time release. I use it for concentrating in school.

Could adderall be the problem, or do you guys think it might be something else?

Thanks,

-Ark

Let's call a spade a spade. If that is the only new thing in you life, then yes it's the cause.
Adderall has listed a number of side effects including but not limited to: Impotence, growth suppression, and change in sexual ability or desire. These are listed as "Severe Side Effects" and the manufacture recommends "Seek medical attention right away". As far as myself, I'd probably stop taking them and see the doctor in a few day if my wood did not come back, But that's me and it's not my dick that is effected. Be smart and safe.

hey ark.. yea thats likely the cause if nothing else pops in to mind.. Also you cant "try" to get an erection, its just a natural process.. but try stopping the adderall for a few weeks, dont worry about it, and i bet your erections come back..

You dont need that crap anyway.. I always found it amusing how many people are on that stuff in school/college.. people do it like a drug.. its kind unfair imo, some kids like me who just naturally have trouble listening to teachers bullshit, but dont take drugs do badly in school.. then theres other kids hopped up on stimulants paying 100% attention LOL..

anyway, ya stop that stuff and youll be fine!

As I stated in the above thread, I have experienced extreme turtling on various stimulants. In terms of limiting my erections - maybe not so much. But the common area is that it is affecting both of our penises, albeit it differently.

I understand that you are prescribed adderall, but do try to limit its use. Long term studies have not been conducted, and the chronic effects are not well known. Besides, adderall loses its effectiveness if you take it every damn day. This sounds terrible, but why not save it for review sessions, papers, all-nighters, and exams?

Of course I don't know how bad your ADD is but c'mon, you survived for 20 years without it, I dont think you need adderall to take notes for 50 minutes in class.

If your having trouble concentrating in school drink green tea. Green Tea helps you focus. If that ain't enough try green tea supplements. if i were you i would toss the Adderal. But thats between you and your doctor.

i mean, the kids being prescribed. i wouldn't tell anyone to ditch their blood pressure meds. ditching his meds could be very detrimental to his education. for some people adderal isn't a bad thing. and remember, your education is more important to a successful life than your penis.

talk to your doctor about it. i have noticed that when i was on dexedrine and focalin (same category of drugs) that i experienced the same - more or less. it's a stimulant - stimulants constricts blood vessels. there might be a way to treat the symptom naturally without quitting your meds.

I had textbook ADD (slight insomnia, trouble following rules, etc.). In fact, I used to get so antsy in school my dick would actually start tingling. I'd almost go insane and I'd have to ask to go to the bathroom. My body literally would not let me focus. Now, if you have no trouble falling asleep (and I don't mean staying up playing Xbox, I mean you-lie in your bed for 30 minutes to an hour waiting to fall asleep) or when you take a test you don't have a strong urge to stand up and do a lap around the room- you probably don't have ADD. If that's the case IMMEDIATELY get off aderall. I too it for about 8 years. I have poor circulation, my dick would turtle constantly, I have ticks like the NEED to pop my neck and other joints. Its awful. Please, for your sake get off that shit.

Man i feel bad for you. Magnesium citrate may help with the ticks.

I mainly got the Adderall to help me focus on my very, very stressful finals that just passed. (passed them with flying colors )
The adderal help's me study, because it's very hard for me to sit down and study without getting sidetrack. But now that the
semester is over i'm not going to take them for a long while, or at-least until i need to sit down and study again..

I did some jelq's, and did a pretty long warm-up/warm-down today, and it seemed to help. I'm not tutrtiling for the
most part right now. But my dick still does look somewhat smaller flaccid. So im going to continue to stay off of them until
i truly need them.. because that shit sucked. Drove me crazy.

And seeing as winter break is here, and im going to colorado.. im going to need a good erection to please some snow bunnies haha.

Thanks for all the info guy's!

Funny story I actually JUST starting taking a magnesium supplement 250 mg a day. Its Magnesium Oxide so I don't know how different it is from the citrate. Its not soo terrible but when I'm in something like say a movie theater, if I think about it it'll drive me nuts until I'm able to pop em.

In response to Ark, thats good that you use it sparingly. I think thats the way the drug should be taken, personally. It has no need for stacking, just an instant use. Fortunately I was perscribed before the drug came into its current popularity. I feel bad for all the children who their doctors are just throwing this stuff at them without really going through the proper psychological testing. Its a derivative of amphetamine for christ sake!

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum (first post) and have been reading and learning for a few weeks now. I have some experience in this area and as such feel like it's important to offer a comment (I'll find some time in the next few weeks to properly introduce myself).

While it's a pretty good guess that the Adderall is contributing to your turtling before you stop it call or go see your Dr. and ask a few questions. It sounds like someone has decided that you need treatment for ADHD. Remember that ADHD is a real medical condition with real impairments. Most of the docs that I know are cautious about prescribing Adderall which suggests that whoever wrote the prescription was feeling like it was pretty important. With some medications side effects like these can fade over time. It's also possible that the dose is too high. If it turns out that the Adderall is the wrong medication there are other options.

I havent taken the adderall since i posted, and everything is back to normal.
