Anxiety, ED/PE, Vyvanse and SSRIs?

[mndopr]

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread.

I've had anxiety most of my life. Mostly generalized and social anxiety. I've also been diagnosed with ADHD, and after visiting two psychiatrists, both first suggested Lexapro. I tried it but noticed a decrease in libido and inability to maintain an erection.

I've always had trouble maintaining erections which I believe to be poor circulation, but felt like the Lexapro made this worse.

I stopped the Lexapro, and tried Vyvanse to help with ADHD. I'm a software engineer, and weight lifter and noticed huge improvements in my work, focus, and energy levels. I do not have problems with erections or libido when I take the Vyvanse early in the morning.

The side effects were slight insomnia, raised anxiety and irritability and worst of all has been premature ejaculation.

I've always had performance anxiety with sex which I know exacerbates my sexual dysfunction but I'm getting so frustrated with the additional side effects of these medications.

SSRI's are known to help with premature ejaculation, but Lexapro gave me ED

Vyvanse may have amplified premature ejaculation for me, but this might just be an increased anxiety.


I have never tried both drugs at the same time. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar issues, or had experience with both Vyvanse and an SSRI.


Any advice?

It's an amphetamine class c.n.s stimulant so it's strange that it is causing you pre e.

My advise would be to get off completely of every single prescription medication. Your problem has its origin in a chronic nutrient deficiency, from the time you were born. Most probably your mom was nutrient deficient while pregnant. Theres so much the body can create with lack of raw materials. The main food for the brain is healthy fats and cholesterol. Try to cook with organic lard or organic real butter. Use salt. Do not any kind of oils. Eat plenty of cholesterol. Take daily vitamins. Try to avoid synthetic form and use plant derived vitamins. Take at least 60 essential minerals in liquid colloidal state. Again, avoid synthetic form.

Your carbon unit has encoded in the DNA sequence the instructions to self repair. BUT, like building anything, it needs raw materials. It cannot repair and rebuild from pixie dust. Medications WILL NOT cure anything. I repeat, prescription medications DO NOT cure chronic diseases. They only manage symptoms to a certain extent, with catastrophic side effects.
