I've been dealing with Adderall side effects for some time. Specifically severe ED, I just can't get it up no matter what. The want is still there but the body doesn't respond.

I've decided to stay on my meds. I talked to my doctor about starting Viagra to help with the ED, since even he agreed every ADD med gave me the side effect. He did mention that there was a very small chance that Viagra could render me permanently blind or deaf. I decided to think about it before taking.

I do want to fix my ED because I have a right to have a functioning sex life, even if my aspergers is total woman repellant. But, that very rare side effect does scare the shit out of me since everything that makes life worth living for me requires my eyesight and hearing. I'm a gamer, I'm a musician, I like making comics on Garrys Mod. I like attending rock shows and watching movies, reading comics, listening to audiobooks/music, and sightseeing. All these things make life worth it for me. Take it all away and, why bother?

I'm not suicidal, however I prioritize quality of life over just being alive. I'm thinking if it comes down to it, I will opt for assisted death if my genes continue to screw me over. The blindness/deafness will just be the last straw. I refuse to be a prisoner of my own body.

If it happens, and I'm unable to get assisted death, what other options would I have? I want to have the method ready before the blindness/deafness kicks in. If it does happen, I want to CTB on the spot. But it would be hard if I have to assume I would be blind/deaf by the time I die.

I envy those who are able to get legalised assisted suicide, it's not even legal where I live and it's just inhumane denying people the option of a peaceful, guaranteed way to permanently leave this existence. But anyway if you wish to read about suicide methods then there is the suicide resource compilation on here, I hope that you find what you search for.

I hope you find a solution - no one should live a life restricted enough to make them too dissatisfied to live. All the best in your pursuits, whichever path you manage to find.

Okay but what options would I have to get me out of the dissatisfying life if I were to go blind/deaf?

Hmm... https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/316291#medication
Not sure how handy that'll be, 'cause I haven't tried them, but if you're afraid of the side effects of viagra, some of these might do something for you instead.
Of course, it's not gonna treat blindness/dreafness, I don't think, so you might want to search into the alternatives before contemplating whether you want to risk the side-effects of viagra, deal with ED or contemplate death.
It's not like the person before me already hasn't given advice on the more.... permanent resolutions. Those are still applicable when you're blind/deaf. Don't underestimate the mobility of blind/deaf folk.

If you are not completely blind at that time, a method that only requires you to swallow some substances would be good.

Oxycodone & Fentanyl guide + Chloroquine guide + Amytriptyline guide:

Another option would be the inert gas SCUBA method. You would prepare all the equipment while still having good vision. Later you would just put on the mask, switch the valve from "pre dive" to "dive" and open the cylinder. You practice all these steps while you still have good vision, so that you can do it later when you are almost blind or even blind. If you decide to use this method, never open the inert gas cylinder and never inhale inert gas while practicing !

SCUBA inert gas:

Assisted death would also be an option, in Switzerland, if someone would accompany you or with the help of another person. I know a case where a person assisted another person with the SCUBA method. But this is not legal in all countries but was still done in the case mentioned.


This is just a general information. I do not encourage you to commit suicide and to use these methods. You act on your own responsibility.
