Erection Quality Seems to be Suffering - Caused By Stimulants?

I am wondering if maybe my erection quality is suffering because of all of the stimulants that I am on. Given I have a very high tolerance for stimulants but I still feel like I maybe having some issues because of the huge number that I’m taking.

Here are my list of current supplements, also remember I’m very into bodybuilding and have been weight-training over 10 years:

- prescribed to 20mg adderall 2x per day for ADD
- Hydroxycut Hardcore 2 first thing in the morning / 3 preworkout
- diet sodas, diet teas throughout the day, etc.
- sometimes a Diet Turbo Tea while working out

And that’s about it. But I know that adderall for most people can cause erection problems but I’m thinking with the added supplements it’s probably just increased even more.

What do you guys think?

I take adderall, in fact just got a prescription, but I’ve been taking it last year through college. It doesn’t like my penis too much.

And cut back on the soda, drink Water and Tea and Juice. Thats it.

Yeah I know adderall typically causes some erection issues. Just drives me friggin’ crazy! :mad:

Cialis is the only answer and I hate relying on that crap.

Adderall is a stimulant. It should not be having any effect on your erection problems.

Please explain what is Hydroxycut because I don’t know what it is. Also, have you changed anything in the last weeks or so since you noticed the change in your erection quality? What training do you do?

When I take a lot of stimulants I find my mind is racing to fast to get good erections I.e. Hard to relax, which is necessary for erection. On the other hand when I take depressants or am really tired erections come easy or spontaneously as long as I’m not to sleepy etc.

The thing is, Adderall is a light stimulus. A similar kind of drug is given to children with ADD. If you take it for attention deficit disorder then it should prevent just that kind of “racing” sensation and loss of focus, helping you concentrate.

Most depressants also have vascular side effects that help lower blood pressure, maybe helping you get erect. They are not opposite in effects.

It’s the Adderall, wellknown “speed-dick*” syndrome. Same problem as with Dexedrine, XTC aka MDMA and LSD. Not a problem with with Methamphetamine though. Solutions are either get your prescription changed to methamphetamine or use Viagra or preferably Cialis.

*speed-dick, thats simply that your penis looks and behaves like you just came out of a swim in ice-cold water.

Really. Sounds like just what I need. My brain and mind is always firing non-stop. I thought stimualnts make it worse. I’m lost here?

Well it is a bit tricky to explain but here it goes: it is believed people with ADD have more of a problem with keeping attention fixed on one item. Amphetamines are supposed to help him get more concentrated. It is the reason why it was abused in the beginning (the drug) by university students wanting to learn more faster: not because it made them agitated but because it focused their minds.

However, if you are feeling over-stimulated you might one to take it up with your doctor as you may be using too much.. You may need to switch to a different drug.

However, you might also want to try better hydration, less fizz in your drinks and get plenty of rest and energy.

Stop lifting for a week and see what happens

Stop everything but the Adderall for a week and see what happens.

X2! Adderall gave me a limp flaccid hang, oh how awful. I had to take Cialis to not walk around like a kindergartner. Caffeine is a vaso-constrictor so it will effect your erection strength.

Adderall is a prescription drug given under a doctor’s care— do you want to take responsibility for taking him off his legitimate meds?

Toss out the OTC crap first, lay off the caffeine and stop consuming garbage and see what happens— and if you still have a limp biscuit then call the doc and ask him if you can come off the meds.

And check with him if you can take NOX.

WBH, You’re erection quality will suffer when you take adderall. I am also prescribed 20 mg instant releases and I experience erection difficulties (like the rest of us) when I take it.

I cannot believe you take 2 pills a day. That is the maximum dosage allowed. If you are working out and can focus okay, try to lay off the amphetamine salts (adderall). Adderall only helps you focus/learn/study, and if you have really bad, carry out a conversation. Working out and drinking fluids (pref water) will help, also try to cut down to one a day then one every two days. I know the feeling is great when you are “buzzing” but this drug has BAD side effects.

I will go as far as to say, stay away from your penis when you are on Adderall. Achieving an erection makes you feel high and mighty, and orgasms are also intensified, but once you ejaculate, you will further reduce the flow of blood to your penis. Blood is also flowing faster through your veins, so PE can lead to injury, (I actually injured myself a year ago while on adderall).

I consulted several urologists and my pcp after my injury and they were not really sure what to say, nor had they heard of PE. On paper, they explained that Adderall should not have an effect as described on my penis, however, my personal experience and experiences of some of my friends suggests otherwise.

As mentioned. Adderall = “speed dick”.

When I took it, no such thing as an erection!
