A member asked:

I know there are alternatives to adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) but do you know of any that have the best chance of not decreasing libido? or will all similar meds do that?

All amphetamine: All amphetamine stimulants will reduce libido to an extent that is dependent on age and dose.

ADHD meds: There are choices besides stimulants for ADHD. One is Straterra, which has fewer sexual side effects than stimulants. I like the medication buproprion, although it's use in ADHD is an "off label" use. I have used bupropion successfully hundreds of times. There are also the Tricyclics. See a Board Certified Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist. We're all certified in Adult Psychiatry as well. Good luck
