If you are on opiates long term, apart from lowering dosage is there anything that increases sex drive out there?
 
Cutting back is really the only way I know of. Even then, if dope is still your/my focus(to any somewhat significant degree) it's hard to be real interested.
I think that's kind of the problem. Most people when strung out(I've got a week clean, but it was a while before that) don't care that they have a decreased sex drive. So they don't seek an answer in fixing it. IOW's, it's not perceived as broken, so it doesn't need to be fixed. If your question was pertinent to some aspect of the usage of the drug, you'd have ten responses already.
The only thing I can think of is testosterone. You'd need a cooperative doctor or perhaps a steroid hookup(I know nothing about steroids.) I work with a guy in his 50's that says it has worked really well for him, getting him back to being interested. I don't know, man. That's the best I got.
 
I'm on Poppy Tea and it reduces my libido. Personally I find taking Siberian Ginseng and Tribulus Terrestis help significantly, so I actually end up with high libido some of the time. The two herbs boost testesterone levels, best to take for 6 weeks then have a month break
 
Ive heard tribulus actually works, just like anything if you are on it too long it loses its effect, then you get a super depressed test level afterwards.
 
Maybe getting sexually explorative would be a good idea, could spice things up. Maybe keeping yourself sexually aware of what's around you. Nicotine acts as an arousing drug on me, but I've never heard of any other similar cases. Testosterone obviously would help.
 
stimulants...wait harm prevention no never mind. Don't use as many opiates (if you can).
 
Someone mentioned a test booster, tribulus. There are other testosterone boosters on the market that you might want to try. GNC or other health food stores, vitamin shops, etc will carry them. I used some stuff in a black bottle, think it was black perl or something, forget the name. Make sure you follow the directions as at least some of them will advice taking it for 4 weeks and then taking a 2 week break, or some similar type of schedule. Then there are the prescription and over the counter hard on pills but they do not affect libido, only blood flow to the penis. The sex drive, horniness will not be impacted by them.
 
Taking a quality Magnesium supplement (specifically Chelated Magnesium) at 1000-1200mg a day, combined with 25mg/day Zinc and exercise, will all help you raise your depleted testosterone levels.
 
Cutting back is the best option.

Agreed. At 5-10mg hydrocodone, I can still get it up, and can even orgasm, although it will take a bit longer.

At higher doses (20-30mg hydro), there is no chance in hell for an orgasm, since my testosterone is no where to be found.
 
So theres a few answers for test/sex drive...
What about being able to get off WHILE ON OPIATES.

Is there anything you can take?
(obviouly cutting back here as well would suffice, but I "yelled" ( :P ) while on Because im not woreied about cutting back, only while im ripped trying to get some tang, ladies ;) lol :D

Somwtimes I can get off while high just may take a bit longer...
But sometimes theres nothing I can possibly do except maybe fuck until Im sober, get offf, go n get high again!

Lmao wow that sounds as mazing lol just kidding!
 
Naltrexone 8-15 MICROgrams works wonders on test. levels for whatever reason

It was quite liberating. I should also note that sexual desire seems to have magically returned. This effect alone would make ultra low dose naltrexone favorable for many.

I indepedently experienced this also. ULD Nltx is smething that is absurdly underutilised and dismissed out of hand
