Okay, so I have low T. My LH/FSH is in normal range, but my T is low. This means I have Secondary Hypogonadism. I've begun treatment, not looking for any help in that regard actually.. but I had a thought.
I just happened to be talking to my woman about my sex drive, and how I wonder if it will be better in a few months after my test has come up and stayed consistent. I'm not very old, just 24, so I started thinking back.. "when did I lose it?". Where in life, my short life, did I lose that ability to work, play, fuck, and work some more.. day after day?
When I was younger.. 18, and shortly into 19.. I had a falling out with an ex. I got a little reckless.. I was in college and Adderall was a big thing, that and Vyvanse. All was really easy to get ahold of. I worked and went to school, so I'd buy people's scripts every month, Adderall 30XR's typically, but any other mg was just an add-on to what I normally did. So, I started partying a lot, little drinking, but mainly smoking and taking Adderall, 3, 30's a day at minimum. Some weeks I would take 4-5 a day, for 4 days straight and not sleep at all. It was fun at the time, until I dropped out of college, and got the "I'm pregnant" phone call from the ex.
Flash forward, her and I ended up together for a while, even though that kid wasn't mine and she got rid of it (yeah I was stupid as fuck lol)... but to the point here! That girl, whom I am not with anymore.. her and I used to fuck 6-7 times a day when we first got together. After that summer where I did a shit ton of Adderall, I wasn't good for more than 3-4 times a week of sex anymore! We went on another 2 years of dating, into my early 20's.. but I eventually lost all drive, she got upset about it, nagged, I lost more interest in her, didn't know what was wrong with me.. and we split before I figured it out.
That whole story was just to give you an idea of how I was before the abuse, and after.. I was younger didn't know what I know now.. but I have some ideas about what may have happened.
After that couple months of non-stop abuse of an amphetamine, may I have done some permanent damage to my brain?
I've read that amphetamine abuse causes issues with dopamine, which causes issues with prolactin, which can eventually cause issues with testosterone.. which causes issues with sex drive, motivation, blah blah blah. I just want to know if it could have caused permanent problems in this regard? My prolactin was in range on my last BW.. in the upper range but not considered "high".
I don't really know much beyond that.. and I'm really just starting to think out loud, if anyone has any ideas on what may have happened, or experience on this, let me know.
I don't take anything like that anymore either.
