Friday greetings...

[JohJoh]

Where to start. I'm a 43 year old, twice divorced bipoloar woman on a successful diet of Edronax, Lamictal and Lovan. I had never used ANY form of other drug barr my prescribed stuff until late last year when I met my fiancee.

He is a 40 year old seasoned user of mainly gear and e's and also a heavy drinker. Being an open-minded person, I smoked my first joint this year and also have on about 5 or 6 occassions shot up gear. To be honest, it had little to no effect on me - perhaps of so many medications already in my body. The last time however, I experienced severe paranoia and pyschosis that frightened the living hell out of my 'experienced' mate. As a consequence, I will no longer touch the stuff for fear of pushing my mind into some dark hole and never resurfacing. The fear keeps me on the straight and narrow. BUT...and here is the kicker. I'm here to learn more about certain drugs and their effect, particularly re libido and sexual performance. Not mine (which is perhaps far TOO healthy) but about HIS. Or, should I say, non-existent libido.

So, I plan to lurk on the fringe, do a bit of reading and hopefully, discover some ways that people have overcome the frustration and general soul-destroying consequences that certain drugs can have on your love life.

Cheers

welcome to Bluelight!

IV heroin does more for you when you go from feeling shitty from withdrawal to the peak of an IV dosage.

Since you are not an opiate addict, it was like going from neutral to high, although by what you said you didn't get much of a high from it.

I'd consider yourself lucky, opiate addiction is really difficult to get over.

I hope you enjoy our community!

Well, it's been two years since I first posted and funnily, here I am again. I am now married to my wonderful fellow, but certain problems still exist. Namely, his total lack of interest in me sexually unless he is on gear. No cuddling, no kissing, NO intimacy or desire to touch me in a sexual manner. Basically, we live as brother and sister unless he is on meth.

Hubby has been clean for 2 months now (his choice, not at my insistence but boy, am I glad he made this choice). Two weeks ago he began Concerta to combat his total lack of motivation, organisation, and concentration. Otherwise, he drinks only on the weekends and not in excess. He takes no other drugs.

My query is this: A) I have a read a great deal about damaged dopamine receptors but must admit, my understanding is minimal. Can anyone tell me in straight forward language what the chances are of his 'repairing' the damage he has done to himself and if so, are we talking months or years?

B) Are there any medications - be they natural or prescribed that can aid the development of new dopamine receptors. ( I hope I am using the correct terms).

Any advice would be most helpful.


best wishes,
