Have you tried
Rhodiola Rosea for the ADHD ? My fiancee has ADD (non-hyper) and found it was better than Wellbutrin. She's currently on Straterra to compare the effectiveness - so far she's seen none of the side effects (not even the
weightloss, which she was hoping for
I was on SSRIs (for mood stabilization) for the last couple of years before switching to
Rhodiola Rosea, and this stuff has been better than ANYTHING - and with absolutely NO side effects.
I think
Rhodiola is going to be the next "big thing", as it has SO many benefits and no drawbacks (at least none that I've come across).
As far as the sexual side effects, have you tried
Tribulus Terrestris to raise the testosterone levels? I got the sexual side effects from the SSRIs as well (so bad that not even Viagra had any effect!) That was my main reason to find an alternative to the SSRIs. When I finally discontinued the SSRIs (Celexa was the last one), I found that I had a low testosterone level (and I don't believe it was a coincidence). I started out with a month of medical injections, which raised the levels to the low end of mid-range (but still medically satisfactory). I've continued with the
Tribulus and have seen a good benefit from it. Next month I get my levels checked again and I expect to see it higher than before.
