Hi there I’m a 18 years old girl, I weight 115-120, I’m 5’4, I’ve been on ADHD medication for several years now, I tried a lot of things such as concerta, adderall, clonidine, intuniv. I am now on 80mg (2 pills of 40mg) of Vyvanse. I feel like I don’t have any sexual drive/libido, I am in a happy/healthy relationship and I feel like something’s missing!
