Hydrocodone Withdrawal Sex Issue:

On day 6 of being clean, feeling SO much better than the previous days, and even though there were days I felt really damn good while I was using, I feel so much better now that I'm off. Anyway, my question is embarrassing as hell, but F it, I've been through hell, this can't hurt.

A little background first: I was able to keep my addiction secret from everyone! My wife, son, parents, etc...everyone. I told both parents while withdrawing because I needed some support, and I needed to get it off my chest. I'm still WAY to ashamed to tell my wonderful wife. I know eventually she'd be understanding and supportive, but after two years of deception, lying, wasting money, etc...there's NO way she won't be absolutely pissed, and I don't want to deal with that while in recovery. Maybe one day the time will be right to confess, but now is not it. I'm still struggling and fighting the fight right now. Oh, and by the way, I took around an average of 60-70 mg, and the most I ever took in a day was 80-85 mg of Hydrocodone. This is the only drug I ever took...I refused to ever "climb the drug ladder" and never advanced to "harder" drugs, but the one I took did damage enough, and I'm so glad I'm done with it!

Anyway, back to my original question: Since I quit using, my sex-drive has come back with a vengeance! Great news right? Well, yeah...to a point. My desire has increased by 100x where it was, but the length of my duration has decreased by 100x lol. I mean, lol, premature ejaculation may not even cover it. I'd be happy to be a minute man right now lol. It's ridiculous how fast I orgasm right now. Please tell me this is just a temporary symptom of my W/D, and will pass soon.

Surely someone has experienced this too...

Do you know of any kind of timetable in which this will pass? I know I could be experiencing much worse problems, but I'd still like to please my wife at least a bit. Thanks.

I'm interpreting your post to mean that you had a sex life and had some degree of control BEFORE opioids.....assuming that's correct I too would bet you'll be much more like normal within a few weeks. Depending on how long you were dependent and other factors your libido may remain supercharged for far longer - perhaps indefinitely. After coming off of 20 years of opioids I had the same issue as you for a few weeks, followed by a dramatic libido surge that lasted for years - still may be lasting really....

My advice: have as much sex as possible and enjoy it. The more you come and the more you fuck the quicker you'll regain control. Tell your wife your new exercise routine has you feeling so young you need it constantly but are super sensitive. Good luck with abstinence and enjoy the return of your natural vitality.

Thanks for the input. I am young still...I'm only 25, she's 27. I actually met her right after I had gotten addicted, so the last 6 days have been my first spent with her sober...it's been strange since I've been so used to "medicating" before being around her to make sure I'm ok. I feel better now, and things are still great between us, but I'm ready for that "anxious" feeling to go away when I'm with her. Sorry if that makes no sense.

Anyway, It may be getting slightly better. I'm still a lot quicker on the trigger than normal (I had plenty of sex before I started using, just obviously with other women because I was already using when I met my special lady). However, I know the more I do it, I'm sure I'll get better and better at controlling it, and will be back to normal soon. Good to hear from other people that can understand how I feel. It's been great.
 
I know it can be so frustrating, but I'm sure I speak for the whole of BL when I say that I'm very proud of you!!

hang in there, it's tough for us to discern a concrete time-table, but I would say that you should be good and back to normal in about a couple months (max)

post your progress! LOL. we hate it when threads go unconsummated
