I take Ritalin and don't experience any such symptoms.

I don't know how well it's going to work, but I just started taking Wellbutrin, and it actually has the opposite effect.

Nope. I have tried so many times to make these drugs work and it has always backfired, spectacularly, because of the hypersexuality. In my totally unprofessional but very experienced opinion, you should forget about taking stimulant based ADHD meds - the cure is far worse than the disease. Its very unfortunate because barring the aforementioned side effects, these drugs could be very helpful to me. Ugh
