I am a female that, although I am bi I consider myself lesbian because I am unwilling to date any men and havent for a ong time. But, I started doing opiates a few years and it made sex awesome. And then I got put odifferent antidressants which made it really really hard for me to have sex. In fact, the only way I could was if I did opiates and even then it was kinda hard to stay in the mood. I even had trouble liking anyone. I haven't had crushes in a long time. The only person I like is an ex that left me two years ago and is not coming back. This lasted for over a year and I finally decided to get off the anti depressants. I have been off them for like a month but I still have no interest in anyone. I am starting a detox on opiates soon but I was off them for a couple of months last year and it still didnt help. Is there any chance that this is the opiates and maybe after 6 months to a year I might want to be with somebody again? I'm rally lonely and I really want a relationship. I need to figure out where the problem is. The only other thing I can consider is that I can;t find someone because I'm not over my ex. but a lot of times I worry I'm not over my ex because I can't find someone.

I'm sorry that this is scrambled I just wanted to try to get all of the info out there. Basically my question are 1.) could the opiates be causing this? and 2.) if they are.. is it reversible? thank you for reading this.
 
1) Yes, they can and are most likely an important reason in your case. Antidepressants, especially SSRI like Prozac, Celexa etc. cause this too, and since they have a very long half life, it needs some time until they wear off completely. Maybe you were on ad's in the six months you were opiate-free?

2) As for the opiates, sex drive will return instantly in most cases. I always was super horny when withdrawing from opiates. As I said, the ads are another case and this will need some time, which can mean up to a few months. But you shouldn't worry about this until at least 6 months are over. Give it some time...
 
I think your loneliness and feeling the need to be in a relationship is more of an issue...

Agreed. But that feeling of missing something essential is fairly common.
 
Thirded.


Your sex drive WILL come back. Drugs and depression seriously fuck with your libido - it may take like 6 months to normalize.

WHat you should work on the most is that feeling of loneliness - do everything you can to talk to other people, anywhere.


Watch "the yes man", with Jim Carrey - I watched it yesterday when on the sofa with flu, and I believe you should view it.

Know that you need YOURSELF, before anyone else. If this is not the way you see things, you need to be more selfish before you can be altruistic - strive to love yourself before you can share yourself, for anything more than some exciting sexual encounters, with that someone special.

Opioids - Can majorly decrease libido
SSRIs - Can majorly decrease libido
Depression - Can majorly decrease libido

I'm not reccomending you go out and do a bunch of stimulants, but I will say there are dopamine agonists meant for increasing libido

or there's things like crystal meth (that I don't reccomend you do) that just SKYROCKET my libido ridiculously
