I was prescribed Adderall a couple weeks ago, and after moving up to a functional dose (10mg), I've noticed I have lost all desire to physical with my boyfriend (even just kissing/cuddling) while it is working.
I know this is a side effect, and I have read up on the drug extensively. Everywhere, I see that this is listed as a "severe" side effect and that if you experience this you should "tell your doctor immediately".
My question is, why is it "severe"? I am 18 and am being prescribed by my pediatrician. I would rather not discuss this with him or bring it up with my parents (who don't approve/know about my sexual activities, which I am quite safe and mature about).
Is this dangerous, do I need to tell him? I would rather not switch drugs since this is the first one that has not had overwhelming side effects for me (I'm a little sensitive).
Why is this such a "severe" side effect (listed with heart and breathing problems, etc) that I would need to tell my dr. about it?
thanks!
