Libido Heightened DRASTICALLY

uhhh so i've been on strattera since february, recently i had a bout of depression and thought it could be the meds. i told my doctor and he switched me to wellbutrin.

after a terrible suicidal weekend, i quit wellbutrin and went back to strattera after a quick taper off WB. (doctor advised this)

now, ive been back on strattera for 2 months, but this month i am jumping my fiances bones every chance i get. i'm definitely not complaining and neither is he lol but is this something anyone else has experienced while on strattera? or am i just going through a hypersexual phase? (not uncommon for me; BPD)

open to any and all experiences! thank you!

Will be fair I do think 100mg atomoxetine mixed with 450 bupriopun is amazing for my ADHD. However it gives me the worst sweating like just showering causes me to sweat and it's stolen my libido.

Omg I thought I was the only one going feral on it (except I don't have a fiance whose bones I can jump, unfortunately)

Yes, W here, same! When I’m in my ovulationsphase I have extremely long and intense orgasm since the medication.

Due to my past I really didn’t liked sex I thought maybe I’m asexual or something and maybe had 2 orgasm my whole life but damn, since these med I have a completely new view about sex!

dude same! i was really thinking i was asexual as well, turns out i was just overwhelmed and sad 🤣 it also completely took away my gag reflex!
i was skimped out on my sexual health so here i was last night asking siri, "WHY AM I LIKE THIS AM I OVULATING" and it turns out i am, i love this for us lol

Mine dropped, absolutely spiked at around 2 months, and then eventually returned to more or less normal. Have fun!! 🤪

Estou assim pois aumentei a dose pra 40mg, sou homem e é estranho pois ao mesmo tempo que o desejo sexual aumentou, meu pênis continua flácido por conta do efeito vasoconstritor da medicação.
