My pdoc diagnosed me with ADHD over the summer. I'm not really sure if I have it, or if it is just manic behavior since I'm bipolar.
I am on a ton of psych meds for the bipolar and panic disorder/PTSD. I'd like to get down to less, but that's beside the point. I am wondering if Adderall XR has a side effect of increasing sex drive or if this is just a sign of bipolar mania. Ever since I started Adderall, my sex drive has re-appeared, sometimes to the extent it is lasting hours & hours. It usually happens to me in the daytime when the Adderall dose is still in effect or shortly afterwards. Not that I'm complaining to have a sex drive back. I'm just wondering if it's linked with the Adderall. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, , propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, omeperazole I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. --Robert Frost |

I'm a kid, I take Adderall XR, it does in fact increase or decrease your sex drive, this is a confirmed side affect by doctors and patient who take it.

I'm so sorry about you and your son, needhelpformyson
 Does he see a therapist? Maybe that could help. Usually that's the better solution to deal with anger solution. Is he taking any medication? I think professional help is necessary for cases like this. Wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes. Sending many hugs to you
