Hello,
First thing I want to thank everyone on this forum who helped in offering advice in withdrawing. I made some pretty dumb decisions and got myself hooked on a combo of oxycontin and suboxone on off days for about four months of consistent usage. I decided this was not the lifestyle I wanted to live, I started struggling at work, my moods would shift wildly and the money I spent I'd rather not think about. Fifteen shitty days later here I am but I have a whole new set of problems.
When using my sex life was non existent. Maintaining an erection was a miracle and orgasming wasn't even an option. The drug use destroyed my sexual relationship with my gf and caused a lot of tension. For my own reasons I chose to stop because I love sex (and money and being successful and not living for the next fix to keep the sickness at bay but sex too). That said, now I have the exact opposite issue. Thinking about sex gets me rock hard instantly, having sex will usually be over faster than a Geico commercial. Needless to say, this is causing me a tremendous amount of stress and adding to the sexual tensions. My gf is constantly reminding me of my poor performance, and I can honestly say I have never felt more insecure/ low self esteem/ downright pitiful. I know it's a common problem and I want to fix it, what options do I have? How long can I expect this to last? I've read other posts on this forum but never really found a general timetable. Again this is day fifteen. Overall health wise this is the best I've felt in months, I can exercise again and generally feel pretty good minus this issue. Please help, willing to try pretty much anything at this point.
