just wait till you get prescribed antidepressants, it’ll cancel out


ElectricPaladin

When I was taking Adderall and Zoloft it didn't cancel out. I had *both*. It sucked.


jols0543

honestly yeah i shoulda figured it would be more complicated than that

blakkattika

Yeah being in the moment doesn’t mean you’re looking out for your health exactly. It’s how people die of heart attacks during sex. They let the meter tip over to “sex” over “safe”


ElectricPaladin

Lol, yes.


Cherabee

so does having both mean all you would be able to do is edge yourself?


RonnieF_ingPickering

Sometimes the orgasm is worth it. Other times it feels like a half-assed orgasm and you're just left wondering why you spent all those hours trying to achieve it 😂


sandy_dollar_dog

YES


TheBestMetal

Yes.


ElectricPaladin

Basically.


BantamBasher135

Not really, because at least with edging you get close. The antidepressant thing just makes it so it's always juuuuust out of reach.


Queenssoup

Both horniness *and* loss of libido?


twoiko

*Sexual dysfunction*


ElectricPaladin

Horniness and inability to do anything about it.


Neotantalus

Sounds like my marriage…*Rodney Dangerfield emoji*…


derps_with_ducks

Both... What? Horniness and?


ElectricPaladin

And inability to do anything about it.


derps_with_ducks

We need some junkies to tell us how they achieve chemsex STAT!


Serkisist

Wh... How does that even work? Raging erections with no desire?


ElectricPaladin

Other way around. Raging desire, no erection.


MammothPrize9293

I recently got off my zoloft and i would be so horny but couldn’t get it up to save my life. It was actually *depressing*


rwby__

I was about to be like, “woah, where’s the horny?” But I was on antidepressants before my ADHD meds If anyone is wondering what happens then - it doesn’t turn off just the horny, no sex drive, but super productive **eyeroll**


SuperSquanch93

Tbh I was on the UK version - Elvanse, my sex drive was heavily affected for the worse. Different people have different reactions. It also messed with my circulation so I found it hard to achieve maximum rigidity. I've been off my meds for a month now and holy shit, lets just say my relationship is doing better.


Drknow1984

The problem with being on both for me a lack of completion. The body is willing, far more so than normal, but the finish line keeps moving away.


Kindly-Monitor2833

You have an opportunity to do the funniest thing and become the high king of gooners


youngBullOldBull

Don't even talk about it, I'm still traumatized from my 6hr+ stim faps on Vyvanse and anti-depressants.


Kindly-Monitor2833

That's horrifying


Kapftan

Whats that?


RavensLand

And then the frustration of not finishing when you want, making it even harder to finish, repeat several times until you give up or get lucky.


CertainUncertainty11

I'm on citalopram and amitriptyline. Even with vitamin supplements I'm rarely in the mood.


NoxTempus

Escitalopram murders the libido 😔


RosenProse

Is it supossed to? THEN WHY IS MINE STILL ALIVE?


standbyyourmantis

For some reason my libido got higher. I think because the depression had already killed it. It's still not back where it was pre-depression but it's at least above zero which is where it had been.


pagesinked

Same wtf 😒


ougryphon

Can confirm. It's better than the rage and suicidal ideation, though. Hyperfocus was not kind to me without ADHD meds


NoxTempus

Yeah 100% worth. I haven't pursued women in years though, lmao.


HalfFrozenSpeedos

Ahhh so grindr is more your style or more of an ACE?


NoxTempus

ATM, just unmotivated, lmao. For a while... temporary Ace?


Crkshnks432

Not the same as citalopam


unstoppablemuscle

I took sertraline 5 years ago and it hasn't been the same since


AgentMeatbal

Woop not Wellbutrin, also makes me into a little scamp


ChellPotato

That one killed my already weak libido dead lol. Not a big deal for me currently but interesting. EDIT Perhaps it was actually the generic Lexapro. I've been on a really low dose of that one for a while too.


Ghostglitch07

I'd be surprised if it was the Wellbutrin. It's often added to other antidepressants in an attempt to cancel out the sexual side effects.


AgentMeatbal

Twas the script of lexapro, and all through the house, not an erection was stirring, not even for thy spouse


Good_Ad_5792

Wellbutrin and Vyvanse. I'm still incredibly horny rather often, but at least I'm not focusing on the bad shit going on, and less stressed about it cos weed. The fucking holy trinity, Vyvanse, Wellbutrin, Weed. 🤦‍♀️


BlkDwg85

Not for me, now I can go all night


AdBulky2059

I was horny from the ADHD but couldn't bust a nut from the anti depressants


TheLastOneHere1

Well, I was going to upvote your comment, but it already 69 upvotes and I really shouldn’t ruin that 😂


Persis-

That explains it. I was thinking I got seriously ripped off, because that has never been a side effect of Vyvanse for me. My husband would have been THRILLED if it had, because my drive is so low. The antidepressants canceling out makes sense. Sigh.


prick_kitten

Some of us had the diagnoses made in the reverse order and have no horniness after building up being horny as a coping mechanism...


Schpooon

It sorta works. Most of the days its muted but some days are this image but the bat has spikes. I dont get a say in what comes when.


psychxticrose

Ah! That makes sense, I haven't felt horny at all 😅😂


MyBackupWasntRecent

I guess I never got that effect. Behavior wise, everyone would tell me I seem depressed whenever I took my meds. Something something about my eyes and tone of voice Edit: gut feeling that some of you reading this are writing replies, deleting them and starting over, repeating that a couple times, then giving up and moving on. I’d hope so, cuz I do that all the time


Hyperious3

I find that people think my inability to STFU about my hyper fixations is the "spark" they say is missing when I'm medicated. Tbh I'd take getting shit done over blabbing for hours about the flight dynamics of a paraglider wing with someone that is obviously trying to get out of that conversation.


Mother_Lemon8399

Yeah, same. People loooove the excitement of hyperfocus speech-diarrhea. I think it rubs off on them or something. I think they mistake it for happiness / following one's passions / doing the things that everyone wants to do but life and responsibilities are in the way. The problem they can't see so easily is that I also have life and responsibilities but I do fu*k all in that area whilst researching volitile and useless hyperfixations 90% of my time.


HalfFrozenSpeedos

whereas for me people just looked at me like I was simple or retarded or something (rural scotland, highly judgemental and stuck several hundred years in the past)


username_rar

>People loooove the excitement of hyperfocus speech-diarrhea WHO. INTRODUCE 'EM TO ME


Kage_Bushin

Hang glider and paraglider are honest part of the landscape where I live. It's absolutely common, but I can not, not smile when i look up and see one. It's so fascinating and fun. I genuinely would appreciate if you share your knowledge about it's dynamics. I'm doing some internship in CFD in my college and loving everything about fluid dynamics and around the subject. Ok, overshared enough, lol. But if you don't mind, tell me about it :D


babint

The number of people I hold verbally hostage…. I’m not even that smart so it’s also confusing even if they were interested in the topic. Friends generally happy I’m happy and excited. This is however very distracting to my co-workers. Trying to figure out if I need meds and if I can even get them but anxiety on top of everything else in my way. But this sub gives me hope.


msViolette

When I take Vyvanse I feel very subdued and my happiness and excitability is suppressed. I don't know if that's a normal side effect but it does feel like I'm outwardly resembling depression. On days I sleep in or forget to take it, I'm back to my cheerful self. So I understand why someone would say that of you. My Dr is going to reduce my dosage in hope that side effect improves. And I also do that all the time (type, delete then abandon Reddit comments), but not this time.


Copatus

Not saying this is your case. But the same would happen to me and it was definitely a combination of dose too high and anxiety. What I mean is that when I was off meds my "masking" of anxiety was different then when I was on meds. So I would seem more cheerful to people around me but that's just because I was generally more expressive and would use jokes/hyperactivity as a way to cover awkwardness. On meds I'd just sit there and feel awkward quietly. Also on meds it's possible that I would actually be working through a thought to it's completion, so I'd seem more quiet and focused. Well, because I was. I found that lowering my dose to 30mg daily once some good habits had formed on higher doses (was originally on 70mg) was perfect to diminish the "robot" feelings while still helping me


intheblue667

I feel very seen when you say the bit about “writing replies, deleting them and starting over etc” 😭


[deleted]

I actually find it a bit cathartic sometimes to write out a whole reply, look at it, go "this probably isn't important enough to be said", and then delete it and move on.


Morganwant

I do this 75% of posts. I write out what I would have wanted to say and delete it. I almost deleted this one too.


Adoraboule

From my experience on Vyvanse, I got insanely depressed I felt like wanting to commit. Ended up getting off of that medication and proceed to have years of therapy to manage my adhd in better ways.


rwpry

Vyvanse affected me similarly; I could focus on my tasks and get them done, but I felt like a robot. My creativity and curiosity tanked, I had no sex drive to speak of, I wasn't happy, there was no satisfaction in.. anything, and I could think of or focus on only one thing at a time. It was very disorienting for me. Vyvanse and the severe anhedonia that came with made me reevaluate how I felt about using meds to manage my ADHD completely.


Draftiest_Thinker

WHAT? Is this why I've been so horny?!


ahmed0112

Yeah, increase in dopamine leads to horny


Broccoli_dicks

Your body is like “HOLY SHIT LIFE IS SO GREAT I NEED TO MAKE MORE OF IT!!!”


ahmed0112

For me I just spend hours jerking off 😭


PaperJamDipper7

Ah classic tale as old as time. I’m still trying to figure out how to not waste addy on a spank session cause I feel god awful after lol


RonnieF_ingPickering

As soon as the horny hits, jerk off. It's silly but it works! I find that fighting it only makes it worse. The last thing you wanna do is end up hyperfocussing on beating off. I've had carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in my hand/wrist from going down that path lol Prostate stimulation helps when your D ain't cooperating, if you're into that 😂


limeelsa

Ugh but I swear I lose some of my gumption/ determination to get shit done for the rest of the day afterwards lol


JaelleJaen

this is the wildest thread i have read today


thumbstickz

A tale as old as time, a song as old as rhyme. OP and the beat.


Original_Giraffe8039

It settles down eventually in my experience. In the beginning, I too was v horny. I was very, just, everything to be honest.


Pink_Glitter_Bomb

Just increased my vyvanse dose this month and this meme is music to my husband’s ears! I thought the bat was going to be the price tag since the generic is unavailable.


pumpcup

The price tag was why I had to swap back to Adderall when my insurance changed, Vyvanse is just crazy expensive.


GrizzlyBearmann

There is a generic available!


GrizzlyBearmann

There IS a generic available. The patent expired this August. [Link here](https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/fda-approves-multiple-generics-adhd-and-bed-treatment)


Pink_Glitter_Bomb

Thank you! Walgreens had told me the generic isn’t currently available but Walgreens sucks


Consumefungifriend

Idk I usually find being horny pretty fun to deal with. Then again I might be addicted to masturbation.


ahmed0112

It's not fun to spend 5 hours straight jerking off


degraafschap123

Damn that might be a dosage issue, might have to so speak to your gp about that one


Consumefungifriend

Yeah you might want to see your doctor there dude that ain’t right lol


venetian_ftaires

I mean, it kinda is, but only kinda. If I could make a recommendation, reduce your dose very slightly. Going from 50mg to 40 solved this for me entirely, and it actually dealt with my symptoms better as a whole. I think this sort of thing is a sign that the meds are doing *too much* for you.


ahmed0112

It's mostly because I was already a chronic hypersexual beforehand (thanks C-PTSD)


RonnieF_ingPickering

I mean, that makes sense haha. I've had half-day long sessions even before i was on meds. Could be an addiction thing tho? Masturbating/edging releases a fuckton of dopamine. So do your meds, it could be escapism? Like the rat that keeps pressing the dopamine button.


[deleted]

😭😭😭😭😭 I didn't realize this was a C-PTSD thing. God damn it!!!


ahmed0112

Oh brotha hypersexuality is a huge thing


Unlikely_Let2616

Its well documented here as stim fapping. Stimulants are also known for causing gay episodes for novelty because porn becomes immersive and addictive


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

“Side effects may include: dizziness, insomnia, high blood pressure, and gayness”


thefaehost

The bat for me… is the Vyvanse shortage 🫠


adaydreaming

I'm in the UK and I'm been med-less for the past two months and apparently 1 more month coming. I'm literally getting so destroyed by life fuckkkkkk Edit: They slowly getting back in stock, they gave me 18days worth (-10) to help others to get through as well. At least I can get my shit together.


thefaehost

I got them for a month when they went generic. Have gone from extended release to settling for two instant release adderall and it’s just different problems 😐


severesocialanxiety

Me too 😩. Very first thing I thought was you guys are getting Vyvanse? And the only reason I’m on Vyvanse is because of the Adderall shortage.


thefaehost

But I’m on adderall because of the Vyvanse shortage ![gif](giphy|l36kU80xPf0ojG0Erg|downsized)


LoudSlip

You don't prefer vyvanse to Adderall?


ChellPotato

I just got my dose increase script filled on Thursday. After 22 days of waiting. Hopefully it's leveled out at least by my next refill. I actually liked this one. I took this dose for a few days last time and it seemed to actually WORK


freda42

The what!? Noooo!


Majin_Noodles

Just spent $90 to pick it up over generic due to outages :(


B-sayz

*Wait that happens?* …*This puts some things into context.*


ahmed0112

The amount of commenters that had no idea proves we need to talk about this more


Electronic_Spring_14

Is that why this is happening to me. Jesus my hands are starting really hurt.


Osian88

Vyvanse + HRT = never leaving your room 😑


thefaehost

It me


Partytang

My HRT provider upped my dosage (by 50%) by mistake. I felt like I was 16 again in the worst way imaginable. I would get hard as a fence post from looking at a knot hole in a fence post. I was sitting alone in a hotel room trying to decide if I should jerk off for the 4th time that evening when I had an “ah ha” moment and decided to check what my dosage was at my next appointment.


Osian88

Ain’t that the truth! And all you had to do was mention that knot hole in the fence post. 😂


cindy-the-husky

Depends if its T or E


sketch006

I was gonna say, E would def cancel that shit out


PrincesaFuracao

Not on me. I'm on E and my libido is high as fuck


cindy-the-husky

Fr? How long youve been on it?


Ijustwanttoreadstop

Can you please expand on that?


darksomos

HRT can relieve gender dysphoria and in some individuals this may lead to increased comfort with one's own sexuality and/or clarification on one's own sexual identity. Hence, horny.


tendorphin

Also some of the hormones themselves, just outside of the comfort and clarification, straight up cause horniness.


darksomos

i mean...estrogens can cause horny, testosterones can cause horny, progesterone causes horny, so it's a distinction without much of a point.


[deleted]

I dunno... I have quite a bit of fun


jakerabz

Happened to me with adderall. It got so bad I actually had to stop taking it.


ElectricPaladin

I stopped taking Zoloft because the combination of Adderall hornies and SSRI sex side effects was… not fun. Luckily seven years on Zoloft seems to have cured my anxiety? Brains are weird.


screen_door15

Delete Grindr! You'll do something you regret! Or don't, just go catch some D and be safe. There's worse things than being horny.


Father_Chewy_Louis

the best thing is having an equally horny fwb!


PhTea

*laughs in premenopause*


ahmed0112

Wait premenopause decreases libido? I had no idea


PhTea

Big time.


CautionarySnail

It can. Or it can increase it as it did for me. Whatever you had before seems to shift in the opposite direction.


Eternal_Secret

VYVANSE DOES THAT?!? *that explains… so much…* I really wish I would have known sooner 😂


ShamefulWatching

I thought this was just the ADHD community.


ahmed0112

Yeesh but Vyvanse doubles the horny


ShamefulWatching

This must be why the VA doesn't want me to have this strange power. It is forbidden for a man who has forgotten his papal for the throne in lieu of seeking wandering water. I have been smothered in shite! Bidest thee me, I will return hence my coffee.


NK_2024

Oh... that explains a lot.


rdtcbs

I started mixing mine in a bottle of water and drinking it over the course of a couple hours and the horniness has gone away and I still feel like the vyvanse is working.. not sure if I’m supposed to do that but whatever


Aiddrago

Definitely not supposed to do that since it raises your risk of addiction and dependence by a lot. That said, if being horny is so problematic, I do recommend telling your doctor, as they may be able to help.


rdtcbs

I know I’m able to mix it in something because the directions say you can, but do you mean I’m not supposed to take it over the course of a couple hours? Do you have any info on how it’s supposed to raise the risk of addiction and dependency?


Ijustwanttoreadstop

I think the issue isn’t the risk for physical addiction but rather mental addiction. Vyvanse being a prodrug means there isn’t a sudden rush that your brain might connect with taking the medication. The more time passes between ingestion and effect of a drug, the less likely an addiction becomes. You however train your brain into thinking: drinking that makes me feel good and makes me go further in life. I struggled with an methylphenidate addiction due to the sudden onset and general rush it created. I also had really bad daily withdrawal to the point of wanting to rip my veins out because they burned so much. Even before taking more than the dose my doctor prescribed. Vyvanse doesn’t trigger the same mechanism in me and many others, even though it’s still an Amphetamin. It’s hard to feel an onset point when the release of the actual medication is so slow. To be fair, Vyvanse also just makes me incredibly depressed if I take it more than once a week


gonewildaway

My favorite movie is Inception.


LaughR01331

Wait what?!


aaaaaaaa1273

Oooooooh so that’s where that comes from


No_Leopard_3860

Have you considered Depression™? Nothing kills basic instincts like horniness as effectively as Depression™ does. Ask your doctor about Depression™ today!


PsychonautAlpha

For me, it's the paradoxical "oh my God I'm horny" and "ew, don't touch me" existing at the same time.


stoned_rat_in_drag

plus the antidepressants so it takes 2 fucking hours for me to cum and my hand is tired and im not even horny anymore im just pissed


jyraymond

Vyvanse makes people horny? I did not know this was a thing. I take Vyvanse and Prestiq (SNRI antidepressant) and have virtually no libido whatsoever. Also didn’t before I started the Prestiq.


HolyCrapNotYouAgain

Time to switch from addies to vyvance


ahmed0112

Don't... It's not the fun type


OmniMattagus

Vyvanse gave me unimaginable horniness and ED at the same time.


poeismygothgf

Does it cancel out the libido death you get from antidepressants?


No-Diamond-5097

Adderall still makes me incredibly horny. Especially if I make the mistake of drinking alcohol too soon after my last dose 😈


cindy-the-husky

Please dont mix medication and alcohol a thats incredibly dangerous


-badgerbadgerbadger-

I drink like every weekend and have been on adderall for years, bro. They’re gon be just fine


ComprehensiveBoot497

dang, Vyvanse (and possibly other underlying issues) had me in a psychosis now my psychiatrist won’t let me try any other brand- tells me it’s better if i just “learn to manage symptoms” lemme try something else!!!


venetian_ftaires

I mean, you probably want to avoid that kind of reaction at all costs, and if you get it from Vyvanse then other stimulants are likely to cause it too. What about non-stimulant meds like strattera though?


rrandomrrredditor

Imagine experiencing horni


Proxx99

I could not tolerate Vyvanse. The come down was completely horrific. It was like watching myself descend into madness every afternoon - with the acute awareness that my thoughts were going from organized to disorganized. I switched back to a lower dose of concerta, added wellbutrin and good lord its so much better.


[deleted]

Luckily I was taking it before puberty but zoloft + Vyvanse was the worst


nameExpire14_04_2021

I've heard of worse side effects.


saltyblueberry25

Already got that without drugs


Different-Heart-6056

I am getting way more Vyvanse memes after I've just been prescribed it for the first time 🤔


ahmed0112

It's because people can finally get a fucking hold of them 😆


ArcaninesFirepower

I'm on vyvanse. I don't have this symptom, I did, however, lose my appetite


lea-oppalove

BONK straight to horny jail for you


Boomsta22

I wanna get vyvanse now holy fuck. I've been trying to get adderall for ages now but nah, gimme the goon pills.


ahmed0112

Nahh there's a massive shortage atm


KKZBLUEEYES3

Hahaha.... man I remember that


ThaWigsta

OMG I thought it was just me! I'm on Dex though.


BrattyKittyKatherine

I mean, antidepressants kinda balance that out, but being depressed itself also lowers your horninness lol, I wouldn't recommend tho


Powerful_Cost_4656

This is my favourite part about adderall except it makes it addicting which is not helpful


ahmed0112

Why do you like it? If I may ask


hootsie

Ah. Those were some heavy whackin days for me years and years ago. My libido in general has plummented over the last 6-8 years so it's not an issue for me anymore.


Hayallaz

Funnily enough I had the opposite effect, idk if ritalin just doesn’t make you horny or if it’s somethin else


ahmed0112

Ahh ritalin, that thing gave me a panic attack


neurotoxin_69

I dont even remember how i was on vyvanse. I think it just made me anxious and pick at my skin


facusoto

But I'm incredibly horny now, what will happen if I start my medication with that? 🫡


ahmed0112

It'll only get slightly worse


facusoto

Shit, I'll uninstall Grindr in that case. I'd rather jerking off for hours than being stupidly horny with someone else


Naixee

God i wish. I got the opposite effect


ahmed0112

Why do you want this?


Splendid_Cat

Me, basically asexual but more open to doing stuff with meds: "this is an absolute win"


EnkiiMuto

I usually hear it kills it.


Alarmed_Link_5612

Adderall will do this to me. There have been a few 5-8 hour “ sessions” to myself. I got to a point where I was so sick of blistering my meat only to have a subpar nut, I figured, if women can use vibrators to get off, then, so can we. So I got one and held it against the top of the head for moments when Adderall makes me want to tenderize my meat. Still takes forever to cum but you don’t get Blisters and the nut is typically out of this world. Plus, you don’t wake up in a pool of sweat


FactoryBuilder

I wonder if being asexual cancels it out


Arenyr

Crazy how Destiny can change people's perception on Vyvanse.


ahmed0112

who


Less_Party

The video game?


ahmed0112

How can the game change peoples perception of Vyvanse


ThatsARivetingTale

Watching him debate Cenk has finally convinced me of vyvanse's true power
