Stimulants will taking a high blood prssure pill get rid of adderall impotence?

[username321]

so i have some ramipril stashed it lowers high blood pressure. i think i remember reading that since your blood pressure is high on adderall your body causes impotence so the force of the blood doesnt damage blood vessels.so will taking ramipril lower my blood pressure and then ill be able to maintain an erection longer than usual on addy?

One of the side effects of ramipril is impotence, so I'm gonna say, nope.

People have trouble getting erections on amphetamines not only because of vasoconstriction (raised blood rpessure) in the penis making it unable to fill with blood, but also from its effect on prolactin levels through elevation of postsynaptic dopamine levels.

Pituitary prolactin secretion is regulated by endocrine neurons in the hypothalamus [...] which secrete dopamine (aka Prolactin Inhibitory Hormone) to act on the D2 receptors of lactotrophs, causing inhibition of prolactin secretion. [...] Prolactin provides the body with sexual gratification after sexual acts: The hormone counteracts the effect of dopamine, which is responsible for sexual arousal. This is thought to cause the sexual refractory period. The amount of prolactin can be an indicator for the amount of sexual satisfaction and relaxation. Unusually high amounts are suspected to be responsible for impotence and loss of libido (see hyperprolactinemia symptoms).

Because amphetamine causes increased dopamine receptor activity through its effects at the dopamine transporter, it keeps prolactin low, so people often have trouble... performing. Even if they're really horny.
