Misc embarrasing, but, for the GUYS on methadone ... or girls who can help

^
Yeah that's the truth. But in the thread though numerous people, myself included, made similar claims as well. My gf sure didn't complain, though. =D Kinda sucks when your meat is on the verge of turning into ground beef..

Dysfunction

I took methadone for 5 years and I ended up needing to take a prescription to help-it really does a job on your sexual mechanics!! It is really just chemical handcuff-after a few years on it, having a guy watch you piss in a cup, it gets old, I am a lifer and know it-I am 52 and doing hard drugs since the 70's. Never ever, ever, ever let them detox you with suboxone!!! It is unimaginable torment. It is one of the worst things in this life I have experienced. They will try and keep upping your dosage to keep you a prisoner. Take homes will be held over your head for compliance. I got caught with a dirty urine for benzoes and they took away my take homes for good after 2 years; so everyday you go to a shitty clinic, am called by a number 2 or 3 times, meet every dealer in the city. Suboxone is better...now. It doesn't react the same way. But for your libido problem-viagra or one of the other ones. It will not happen naturally.
 
I didn't read the whole thread, but in my experience what helps the most is:

-(keeping in mind that opiates and ED go hand-in-hand often)
-you and your partner doing a lot of low stress but fun, sensual foreplay
-talk, be open before this
-basically you want to not FOCUS on your lack of satisfaction with your anatomical problems at the moment, you want to positively focus on other positive connections between you.
-often times ED happens in a variety of populations because of stress. Men feel inadequate when they can't get it up. It happens. If you can find things that work for you that are fun to do and bring you closer together that don't solely focus on getting it up and cultivating a low-stress environment you will be better off. And in many cases said ED goes away. Stress is the biggest influence on ED in my mind.

In a nut-shell: get closer to her physically and emotionally without full out intercourse. It will bring you closer together anyway and if she's a sweet understanding girl and she say's "hey I understand, don't worry about it, I still love you" or something like that, it can sometimes be enough for you to lose that stress which keeps blood in your freaking out brain and out of your man package.

Just don't worry. It's not just you. It happens...a lot. And any girl that's open minded and cares about you will listen to you and help you alleviate those stresses.
 
Also: EXCERSICE

It's good for you in a variety of ways: it lowers stress levels post excercise, gets blood flowing, takes negative thoughts and makes them proactive, etc And it makes you feel better about yourself.
 
hey, everybody, what if I were to skip a day, (i know i cant skip 2 or 3, id be sick as a chemo patient) would that help? would it give me any penal action?

For me, if I skipped days of my meds I would almost come in my sleep. Opiates decrease testosterone levels, which excercise elevates. So skipping to where you aren't deathly sick, but able to function may be of some help to you.
 
update on the Situation

So, yea, lately, i guess im getting used to my 90mg dose. I no longer nod even when im tired. I can get 'half hard' but still cant get all the way up or bust a nut. I tried taking cialis, 5mg, diddnt work, but not sure which dose to take. It felt like it made me hyper thats it. Anyway, I skipped a day, which previously, didn't work, and this time, my shit was so hard it was unbelievable, the girl im talking to FINALLY got some real results from me, and saw somewhat of what im capable of. I say somewhat because, it got so hard from not having been able to in so long that i only lasted like 10 minutes PINCHING MYSELF not to bust earlier, hopefully next time i can bust her out longer. but still, i hate methadone cuz i used to be the MAN in bed.
 
I'm on 90mg a day also and I can get a "halfy" going, but no, I can't get hard at all.
Since I haven't had sex in 3 years and have given up on trying to pick up chicks, it doesn't bother me anymore. I haven't had a boner in... About 1 1/2 years since I got on methadone and also haven't ejaculated in that long either.
 
Opiates are a cock killer. Not in your 20's but for sure in your 30's. Wait until you quit you'll be so sensitive for 2-3months at least two pump chump , if you're lucky to even get a pump or two in (ugh) not sure which is worse. Everyone is different , I liked cialis.
 
like i said this will be embarrasing, but i need to reach out to the other Guys who are on methadone, or perhaps women who have dated men who take methadone, two words: Erectile Dysfunction. Help!

I am 24 years old and not half bad looking, attracting women and pleasing them have never been hard tasks for me. Now all of the sudden, i stopped using dope and to stay off i figured id do maintenance for 6 months of methadone, and have been on for 3 weeks. I am on 90 milligrams. I cannot get my my stick up now, AT ALL. Feels almost numb like. Still have the urge just no physical reaction. HELP!

Is there a certain dose not to go over for this not to happen? Or does this happen to everybody? Will viagra be any help? what else can help?

Please, im going crazy, this is embarrasing and depressing.



Hey man I hope this helps I'm 22 yes old an I'm on 110 MG's but I don't get liq. It gave me problems I felt sicker on it an no sex drive now I'm on Diskette (wafers) the whit ones that easily dissolve in water an once. They moved me to disk I got my sex drive back like never before like I'm constantly on it an my girl friend also goes to same methadone clinic an she is on 85mgs red liq. An she is NEVER even in the slightest bit horny at all we only had sex twice since she started started it sucks but my advice to u is try getting switched to disks man it helped me out an I was a pill head for round 3 yes like oxys an opana then started shoot in h an I would easily do almost a g a day of actual good quality dope
 
So my boyfriend has been on methadone for almost two years and the problems didn't arrive until about 3 months into our relationship. He has all these same problems I've read with it being a task to get it up and keep it up or not being able to orgasm. But then he can go in the bathroom and masturbate and be just fine. Why is that????!!!???
 
I was on methadone for 2 years and the more I took, the less I could feel anything. The problem with methadone is that it slowly kills all your emotions, it's not just an opioid. I started taking Suboxone 2 months after quitting methadone and I immediately started feeling so much better even though I continued taking clonazepam for 1 year longer. I no longer was emotionally numbed and physical sensations got much better too. I could get an erection on methadone but emotionally I was numb, when I started taking bupe, I felt unlocked, my PAWS disappeared and I started feeling normal. Certainly when I quit clonazepam, it got even better, my sex drive is very high now as I compare even though my testosterone levels are in the low, however, I've been struggling with recurring social anxiety since I quit it, nobody knows what's happening in my head and that makes me a very lonely person although I do spend a lot of time with people. At the very beginning I would often get extremely dissociated, now it happens less often and it's not as pronounced, but the anxiety is still overwhelming at times, it's basically a vicious cycle, loneliness triggers anxiety and anxiety triggers loneliness. Yet I prefer this to what I was through while on methadone when I was basically indifferent to everything, sometimes I even feared I would stand and do nothing when someone was being murdered in front of me.

So my boyfriend has been on methadone for almost two years and the problems didn't arrive until about 3 months into our relationship. He has all these same problems I've read with it being a task to get it up and keep it up or not being able to orgasm. But then he can go in the bathroom and masturbate and be just fine.

As pleasurable as sex can be, it can also be a great disappointment. Perhaps he doesn't feel enough inside you any more now that he's on methadone and when he masturbates, well, he can make himself feel it as much as he chooses to. This is not uncommon at all even for men who don't take opioids. What can I say... If sex had been great for both of you before, then the problem might be somewhere else. Emotional numbing might be a problem as well.
 
It just sucks and doesn't make sense because it will be a task to get it up and keep it up but then he goes and masturbates and has no problem getting it up or reaching orgasm, :'(
 
I had this exact same problem, I just went to my gp and got a script for 100mg silinidfil pills. Worked perfectly!
