  3 apples would probably make you go to the bathroom a lot - which is where the dr's(?) suggestion and writing style also belong.

It's quite evident from your sentence structure that you are taking one to many medications that are interfering with your ability to communicate.  Now if nobody has noticed a drop in your intelligence lately, then your are simply uneducated and ignorant of the English language.  Nevertheless, all those medications will not help you bring a clear mind to the problems you face in you life.  Eat 3 apples a day instead, drink lots of water and exercise on a regular basis.

I've have been on adderall in the past and didnt notice any changes in my sex drive, but anti-depressents like SSRI's(prozac, which I also take), have been known to decrease your sex drive.  You said you were getting off the prozac, a little piece of advice, I stopped taking the prozac so I could see the difference with my sex drive, and there was a drastic change.  But just stopping prozac all together, without a physician's help, and without weaning myself off, I experienced the most horrible withdrawl symptoms.  I am also on wellbutrin for depression/adhd, I have only been on it for about a week now, how is your experience with it? Especially w/ the adhd benefits? I've heard positive feedback about it helping with depression, but nothing really on its effectiveness with adhd.  I just stopped taking vyvanse and was put on this, and was nervous I would have trouble, due to that I'm used to taking the stimulant drugs.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanx!

I take both wellbutrin & adderal.
I started the adderal months after the wellbutrin.
In my personal experience, I did not notice any reduction in sex drive with the wellbutrin.
But I did notice less sex drive (& overall emotional sensitivity) on 20mg or more of non time release adderal.

I don't know for sure about adderall but I'm pretty sure that anti-depressants like prozac do lower your sex drive.  I think Wellbutrin is one though that is not supposed to have that side effect.  Hopefully between that and the patch you'll get to feeling normal again soon.  I wish you luck.
