    Stimulant medication isn’t a cure, you don’t have to take it every day, and it doesn’t matter when you take it as long as its far enough away from when you sleep.

      Nonstimulant medication is also not a cure. There is no cure for ADHD. It’s like saying there’s a cure for schizophrenia (not comparing the two as issues). Some things don’t get cured, they just get the severity lessened.

        I’m not sure why you got downvotes… You’re correct. Some of the pills do absolutely affect arousal and libido.

          I was medicated with an Adderall-like pills back in my college years and it was AWFUL. My peepee was flaccid for more than a year. Had to stop taking the medication for my well-being.

              The limpness is one of the problems with those medications. First you lack libido. If you feel like rubbing one out, though, you won’t be able to get it hard. And IF you manage to get hard, at least a bit hard, you won’t be able to ejaculate.

              It doesn’t make sense to take a pill that neuters you, and then go and take another pill to counter the effect. It’s like if you’re obese and have high blood pressure, and instead of exercising you take pills against it - you’re only fighting symptoms, not the root cause

                Wth are you talking about. People dont take ritalin to kill gtheir libido. Thats a side effect.
