A member asked:
How does ritalin (methylphenidate) and concerta affect sex drive ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Generally not: In my practice, i don't recall any patients on either form of methylphenidate tell me about any sexual problems resulting from either medication. If your sex drive changed after starting one or both, there may be other medications involved, causing interactions. Please discuss this with your treating physician for an answer specific to you.

Increased sex drive: They can increase sex drive and sexual pleasure by keeping you focused during sex as well as through Dopamine stimulation in general.
