Dextroamphetamine 5mg ER Capsules: My ADHD journey, experiences, and cautionary tale.
I was prescribed Dextroamphetamine 5mg ER Capsules for ADHD, and it has been a lifesaver. The focus and clarity I've gained are incredible, but I've also experienced some side effects. My doctor assured me they were not uncommon, but I wanted to share my experience to see if others have similar stories.
Has anyone else had issues with frequent erections, or is that just me? I’ve been too embarrassed to ask my doctor about it, but it's been a bit uncomfortable. Also, I've noticed some changes in my eyesight, and I'm wondering if this is directly related to the medication or if it could be something else.
Has anyone had experience with this? It's definitely not something I want to ignore, but I've been hesitant to talk to my doctor about it because it's not life-threatening.
Any advice on managing this or other side effects would be appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

Avoid taking this if you have any pre-existing heart conditions. It's just not worth the risk.
I found that taking the medication in the morning helps with the trouble sleeping. It's really helped me manage it.
I've noticed a bit of hair loss, which is weird. Has anyone else experienced this?
The frequent erections are a known side effect. Talk to your doctor about it. It might be something that can be managed by adjusting the dosage or timing of your medication.
Monitor your heart health. If you have a family history of heart issues, be extra careful. It's not worth the risk.
