I feel bad talking about this but some advice would be nice. I started taking Adderall a couple of weeks ago maybe 3 and since I started my sex drive has been getting stronger and stronger. I am starting to get concerned because I am masturbating 2-4 times everyday and begging my husband for it every night and that is not enough. I am 34 and since I turned 30 my sex drive really picked up but this is down right crazy. It is getting to the point where I am thinking about it a lot. Does this go away? I am already on a low dose but it really helps so much that I don't want to stop taking it. I read the side effects and saw that this was a potential side effects. Am I alone in this? What can I do to lower my sex drive to a more reasonable level?

Hi Bee04 and welcome to ehealth: First, get off the Adderall...Then stop masturbating...Cut it back until you get control of yourself and are able to space this self pleasuring out...You are constantly stimulating yourself to the height of sexual want...Yes, it will become more normal if you control your sexual want...Gut it out...Swallow hard when you want to pleasure yourself...Try holding back with your husband to every other night...He is the one that may get more disturbed with this...They get tired...Then if he thinks that he is not satisfying you this can be another problem...Start with the masturbating...Do some cold turkey...You have become your own best lover and must control this...

No, you are not alone on this...Some women have this happen....The secret is having it happen and returning to a acceptable and passionate love life without letting sex rule you....Believe me, it can be done...Take care...

See the problem is that I am not satisfied. I think that is why I am the way I am right now. No sooner are we done having sex I want it again. I don't want to upset him but I feel rejected when we aren't having sex. It wasn't like this until recently. I will take your advice and cut back on the masturbation.

Hi again: I know exactly the street where you live...It is called being "insatiable"....It is a fun street, but you must learn to control this place that you have found that is called lust...Some women are lucky enough to find this special place, but then we must learn to control it and keep it special...What happens is the more sex you are having the more you want...It is coming from your brain waves...Orgasms are pleasant...They make us feel good...Now we must cut back on this pleasure...Find something else to do...Fight yourself in this new find in your life...Try to and you will, return to your yesterday while still retaining a special part of your today....Please cut back...It will not be easy, but for the sake of your marriage and yourself, do it...I send you my best wishes...Take care...
