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

Yeah thanks! I don't mind taking (the right) medication. I've taken my share of dumb meds that did more harm than good. So if vyvanse can help, I'd be stoked.

I hope that you are in a better space now. Good luck

Thanks for the kind words! I’m in a much better space these days. :)

I wish you all the ease and abundance possible for your journey forward. <3
