I have clinical ED for which my doc gives me 20mg Cialis. On top of that I just started taking Adderall 20mgXR. On TRT as well. T and E seem to be fine.
Recently, been having issues getting it to stay up even on the 20mg Cialis. If I don’t take the Adderall for two days before I want to have sex, I’m pretty much g2g, but that kinda negates the reason I’m taking it in the first place (work).
Anybody have thoughts as to how I can achieve a better erection without dropping the Adderall? I was considering adding Arginine at a mega dose. There is also Yohimbe, but that stuff is poison IMO.
I’m pretty much open to using any other substance, pumps, etc. I also thought about taking more testosterone before I’m gonna have sex, but all I have is test e right now.
Also wondering if anybody has used Alprostadil or Caverject injections. I kinda want to avoid sticking needles into my dick, but there could be worse things in life (such as not being able to have sex with my GF).
Stims like Adderall will do this to many people. There is no solution other than reducing or eliminating the stimulant.
Erections are just a symptom of a bigger problem with stimulants. You should seriously consider if the price in cardiovascular consequences you get from the constant vasoconstriction (not just down there, but everywhere) is really worth whatever benefit you get from the Adderall.
I actually had better results with 5mg Cialis daily than I did with 20mg Cialis “when the opportunity arises”. That said, my ED is caused by SSRI use rather than stimulant, but same kinda boat I guess.
Why not ask your doc to try a different stim? I’ve found that different drugs have slightly different subjective effects. For example, methylphenidate worked great but killed my appetite the most. Dexedrine IR seems to be the best compromise between efficacy and lack of sides FOR ME (i.e. different drugs may be better for you).
Or even something with a totally different mechanism of action (e.g. Strattera, Tenex, etc.).
25-50mg Viagra will set you right. Just take it within an hour b4 the game.
I’ve been a TRT’r for years and used to use Adderall and Vyvanse…both
boner killers. I ended up giving up the stims after a year or so of TRT, but still
felt foggy. 5-8mcg of T3 / day seemed to really clear my head and help me
focus way better than any stim…and no sexual side effects.

@PKNY. What is this 5-8mcg of T3 you refer to? I take concerta and would love to get off of it, but the mental fog from withdrawal is awful.
T3 is a thyroid hormone.
Lots of guys use it to burn fat, but they use higher doses…25-100mcg a day.
My thyroid blood panels always showed low normal, but larger dose 25mcg and up
always made me feel shitty. Recently started low dose @5-8mcg a day and it
really lifted the mental fog. Way more than any other stim ever did.

Thanks bro. I want to get to where you are. I take concerta 2 x 36mg/day. I really want to get off the stuff. But it’s the only way I know to make myself not sleep all day.
I just started 200mg Test Cypionate 1 x week 3 days ago. AFter reading the stickies I plan on moving to 100mg 2 x week. I’m really hoping to have the mental lethargy lift.
