Can Taking Adderall Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Question:

Does Adderall cause ED?

Answer:

Yes. Erectile dysfunction is a well-known side effect in men taking Adderall, mainly because the medication causes constriction of certain blood vessels in the body, directing blood away from the extremities and increasing the blood supply to other parts of the body, which means that there is a decrease in blood flow to the penis. However, this is temporary. Typically, once the effects of the medication have worn away, sexual desire and performance return to what was expected.

Please consult with your doctor. He may change the Adderall dose or replace it with another medication that is unlikely to affect your sexual life. Alternatively, he may offer one of the oral ED medications (like Viagra or Cialis).
