Hi, blue lighters. This is my first thread starter, I've been stalking y'all for a while though.

I've been on up to 24 mg suboxone for a little over two months now and I've also just started taking Zoloft around the same time. I've been married for twelve years, a wonderful relationship and we have four children together.

making love has always been a very special part of our relationship but, I just don't desire it lately. It's not my husbands, I just don't want it. I don't feel playful like I always have been, when the kids are in bed I just wanna Sleep. Also for the first time ever I'm not getting wet like I always have.

This is really starting to hurt my marriage we are best friends but the closeness and intimacy does require love making. And id much rather be sleeping.

Thanks to any who reply. Also, if I've done anything wrong or broken any rules, please let me know
 
Alert Alert stalker in Bl! Haha just messing =D Welcome.

Hey I've been there girl I was on sub,and let me tell you the sex interest just wasn't there. What I did was I just bit my bottom lip and said fuck it! I would have sex with him & act like I enjoyed it then sleep, happily ever after. I really did it for him more than myself. Because I know that if I wasn't on the subs I would be totally into the sex.
 
Try a lower dosage.


I'm a male, but when I used to take 16 milligrams of suboxone a day my sex drive was nonexistent as well. When I cut it down to somewhere in the range of 4-8 milligrams, it behaves as it did before I ever took suboxone.

So, the easiest answer is a lower dose.

Also, watch the Zoloft, as that has also been known to reduce sex drive in some individuals.
 
I would say you're on quite a lot of subs there. It should be fairly painless to get down to 12 mg's which is still a lot of suboxone but will be more reasonable and might bring back the libido. Despite being a partial agonist Suboxone is pretty powerful stuff and majority of Dr's recommend way too large of a dose.

the thing is even if you can taper down to 4-8mg of sub i think you would need to go on an anti-dep without sexual dysfunction effects i think some exist, ive been on zoloft and it def messed with my libido
 
I have been on subs for 3.5 yrs or so, and I find if I tKe any more than 8mg I tend to lose interest. AndI have a hard time keeping hard. It will get rock hard at first, but partway thru it softens... then I start thinking about it which just makes it worse. But the past year or so ive been trying to stay right around 4mg per day, and very rarely notice any difference from normal sex drive.
The weird thing is I had a boosted sexdrive when on dope, I iv'd H, oxy, dilaudid etc in huge amounts for about 5 yrs and always had a good libido....the sub made a huge change.
Also I found it helps (for me anyways ) to take multivitamins and 5htp , idk if it is just me but lowering my dose and taking my supplements has helped maintain a healthy sex life
 
As stated already, talk to your doctor about switching from zoloft to another anti depressant that doesn't negatively impact sex drive. Also, lowering the dose of suboxone could help as well.

Welbutrin is an antidepressant that i have actually read reports about increasing the female sex drive, rather than decreasing. The first few days you take it, it may seem a bit speedy almost like you drank too much caffeine. But this will subside within a few days to a week in most cases. As always, I am no doctor and you should definitely speak with yours about this first. I don't know your entire situation and I have not been to medical school - But I definitely would recommend speaking with your doctor about welbutrin or other antidepressants without negative sexual side effects. As well as try tapering the suboxone a bit.

Good luck!
 
I think that the SSRI could be most negatively impacting your sex life, rather than the Subs...

but that is a very high dosage of Suboxone. doctors have a tendency to over-prescribe the correct dosage IMO. unless you are in your first week of taking subs, I would think about lowering your dosage to about 8 MG... then seeing how your sex drive is right about there. if sex is important to you and your relationship (I think it is), then I would try to get myself down to about 3-4 MG... you should be ok at this dose, sexually speaking
 
SSRI's kill your sex drive

opiates also affect your sexual desire

drugs is the problem because both of these drugs ruin sex drive
