Re: Avoiding sex, yet addicted to sex?

Hi, I live in BC Canada, and was diagnosed ADHD, with anxiety and depression,

Psychiatrist started me on 300 wellbutrin and 40 mg Strattera . i was told that Strattera can take 6 weeks or more

to have an impact. Last month, I started taking 80 m of Strattera and the Wellbutrin .. since i have to pay for them

myself, I haven’t done the generics.

So far, no change .. still distracted, impulsive, hyper, interupting, indecisive anxious, a few side effects,

dry mouth and urine retention which can be moderated by drinking water .. .. but no change that we have seen.

Have they given you any idea as to how long it can take to find the optimal dosage?

I have read the Hallowell’s books, you are fortunate. I am confident that my psych and doctors know enough

about ADHD and meds to not mess up .. but I am not good at waiting, even though I have had ADHD for 60 years

and just found out last summer.

Any information would be great thanks .

As to the question, ADHD hasn’t caused me to avoid sex, or to not think about/fantasize about it, but it has impaired

how I function in relationships … at least we have found out that some of my oddnesses are ADHD … interupting,

noise bothers me, nil social skills etc

As you will see from the forums, ADHD is different in all of us as are the ways we react to drugs . Good luck .
