Hi everyone! It's been a while!
I recently started atomaxetin (strattera) for ADHD and to relieve minor anxiety. That is in addition to low dose concerta amd Wellbutrin (depression). At first, with low doses, I noticed a sudden increase in libido but only during the first week. A month later, the doctor doubled the dose. This time the opposite happened: it decreased libido significantly, and even worse, it resulted in shrinkage!!
It's not your typical jumped-in-a-cold-water-pool shrinkage - it's almost like it thinned my penis without causing contraction in length. It made ED worse, but paradoxically, it gave me morning wood again (probably because I am sleeping better). The shrinkage and lower libido are bothersome, but it has helped bring more clarity and focus than concerta alone.
Has anyone experienced this? How did you manage it, or did you go off strattera? The discussions I found here talk about the opposite, that it causes priapism and increases libido.
From what I read strattera can decrease dopamin (which is necessary for sex drive), but Wellbutrin helps increase it a bit b,y blocking re-uptake. So in theory, they should cancel each other out! TRT+pregnyl is working (on paper at least) well with TT in mid 600s, SHBG normal and E2 normal.
