Erectile Dysfunction

[jchu]

Hey,

I am a 20 year old Male and I have taken a many different types of medication (Strattera, concerta, dextroamphetamines, ritalin, clonidine, prozac, etc) since I was about 15 or 16. I decided to stop taking medication after I left school at 18 and only recently got back on Concerta (I began to realise the huge problem I had with dealing with my every day). It has done wonders in regards to my concentration. ADHD has caused many problems and I have also been diagnosed with depression in the past.

I started on the 36 mg probably about two months ago. I remember I had two major side effects when I was younger; the lack of appetite and also dry mouth (which usually wears off within a week of taking it). However, I have noticed that I also have ED when I am on the medication. I was doing some reading and it seems to be quite rare. However, I notice when I take a break from my medication it is totally fine (which I try to do on saturdays). Just to clarify it doesn't mean my libido is low, which really confuses my body.

I was wondering if anyone else experienced this side effect?

kind regards,
Jono

p.s if there is any other information that might have a bearing on a possible reason, I am glad to answer. Really baffled by this one.

Will be taking a drug holiday for a couple of weeks so that I can note changes.
