Hey y’all. so today i finally got my vyvanse/elvanse and i’m gonna start tomorrow. I specifically asked my doctor about sexual side effects and she said that it’s well known to be relatively harmless in that regard. now I read the side effects and it says that erectile dysfunction and change of sex drive are “common: 1 in 10 people”. i’m taking wellbutrin too which didn’t harm my sex life. it rather helped a little. i’m really scared because I had some bad experiences with meds and sex in the past. so can we talk about it? how bad is it? does it go away? can you take something to help? thanks

    Trazodone isn’t an ssri, and the doses that are used for off label are way lower than what is prescribed for depression, and medication induced ED is one of those off label uses.

    I’m taking vyvanse and wellbutrin as well with no issues from the trazodone.

      Thanks. I googled it and it said it was an SRI. Hm. I have a bad history with Venlafaxin/efexor/pristiq addiction:/
