How did adderall affect your sex life? And how has it changed since quitting?

I will be honest.  My husband was questioning my decision to quit for just this reason.  It is hard to deal with a wife who sleeps all the time...for months.  HOWEVER, he is happier now that I am not a mind numbed robot working him in to my crazy Adderall schedule.  Oh, and not screaming at him on a regular basis...that makes it easier for him to show me he loves me which helps me show him I love him ;).  On a pretty regular basis...with enthusiasm...which, I am sure all can agree, was often lacking on the Adderall.  I had more important shit to do and it was a bother.  I was constantly thinking "I could be rewriting work procedures or modifying Excel spreadsheets, damn it".  LOL, I do not miss it at all!

I could not for the life in me climax. It would take so damn long, and it just felt forced and not natural. Also my sex drive decreased drastically. I also started to get pains around my ovaries, which made me wonder about what the hell was going on inside my body that I couldn't see. Once off of it, all of that changed of course.

Yeah, adderall ruined my sex life for awhile, too.  AND on top of that, considering how sex is crucial to intimacy in a healthy relationship, I ruined my relationship that way.  Never again. 

 

It seems pretty common for people to want "alone time" and fear intimacy while taking adderall.

 

I am 3 years quit.  I take Wellbutrin (which helps with libido, among many other things!), and try to minimize the Zoloft.  So I'm still figuring out the balance.  BUT.   Working out helps too!  :)
