Keep in mind that doctors are very wary about prescribing the ADD psychostimulants ESPECIALLY TO ADULTS because they are in the DEA schedule II class, the same class as cocaine, morphine, oxycontin. Your doctor must write you a DEA triplicate prescription & can only write/dispense for one month at a time (so you have to see your doctor once/month), no refills allowed. In other words it is a major hassle.
Schedule II amphetamines:
Dexedrine, Dextrostat,
Dextroamphetamine Sulfate (generic Dexedrine), Adderall, Adderall XR, generic Adderall, Desoxyn;Schedule II Ritalin/Methylphenidate drugs:
Ritalin, Focalin, Concerta, Generic Ritalins: (Methylphenidate, Metadate, Methylin).
Ritalin SR (sustained-release) is erratic, & ineffective- don't waste your time with that. The brand name Ritalin & Focalin last a half hour longer & are noticeably more effective than the Ritalin Generics.I would study up on Adult ADD symptoms if this is the route you plan to take. Adderall XR, Dexedrine, Adderall, or Concerta would be the best choices as a stimulant anti-depressant because Ritalin only lasts 3.5 hrs and has a terrible irritable rebound feeling when it wears off. But keep in mind getting & keeping a prescription for these ADD drugs is a major hassle- Wellbutrin SR on the other hand is not controlled & refills are allowed & doctors don't mind writing prescriptions for it.
I take Dextrostat 20 mg 2x per day & also Klonopin 1mg 2x per day for ADD/Depression/Social Phobia. As far as sexual side effects, I haven't noticed any myself on Dexedrine except that time to ejaculation is increased a few minutes but nowhere near as much as with Zoloft.
In the late 1960s/early 1970s alot of people abused amphetamines so they could last longer with their girlfriend(s) & have a more intense orgasm. So I guess (lasting longer) is a good thing for most males. I don't think there is any trouble with anorgasmia, & ability to get aroused is not affected.3 Beers.........
