Did stimulants change who you are into, or how you are in relationships?

There is no official evidence that stimulants rewrite sexual orientation or a person's taste in people. Product labels and guidelines do not describe a change in who someone is attracted to as an established pharmacological effect. What can change, and what people sometimes read as a change in taste, includes reduced impulsivity, shifts in mood or libido, a different emotional range, and changes in social behaviour. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.

I did not change who I am into. Dating felt different because I was less impulsive and less likely to text at 1am. That made me look pickier, which my friends read as a personality transplant. Libido dipped a bit for a while, sleep was worse, and I was not sure which one it was. I talked to my prescriber instead of deciding I had a new orientation. This is only my story, not medical advice.
