What Causes Frequent Urination And Erectile Dysfunction After Taking Adderall?

I recently started a prescription of adderall due to my strong case of ADD. In the few days that I ve taken it I ve encountered several issues and will be stopping the medication. Frequent urination is a mild symptom I was aware of. I am experiencing erectile dysfunction, which is alarming for being 25. I have defecated three times today and the last two stools were a pale brown/clay color. Should I seek a follow up with my physician.

Hi,

1. Adderall is the name of combination drugs containing four salts of Amphetamine, and yes, Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an Adverse drug reaction [ADR] for men taking Adderall, since some men report a decreased interest in sex and difficulty getting and keeping an erection [ as in your case], as such this change in sex drive or sexual performance can cause distress and embarrassment, so please consult with your attending Physician to kindly provide you with a suitable substitute for your Attention deficit hyperactive disorder [ADHD] and narcolepsy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
