I was inducted two months ago..Took 12-16mg for those two months..Till I realized that I was always tired, and impotent on a level that I had never experienced before..

So I read up and figured I was overdosing..I took two days off and my energy and boner returned..Then I took 2mg, then an off day, and another 2mg..THen I found myself feeling like shit..I went to have sex with my gf and my dick was limp..bad. I was also raging with anxiety..This two days ago..

So yesterday I took 6mg and by midnight was feeling withdrawals..Woke up this morning sweaty, depressed, anxious..Tryed to jerk off as a test, and the porn didnt turn me on, it actually disgusted me..I took 4mg two hours ago, and now I feel great emotionally and physically..

Am I doomed to never get boners? It's like the bupe either kills them because of the dose, or the symptoms of withdrawals make sex seem quite unpleasant, mentally..

When I was inducted, we fucked like bunnies..It was amazing to be sexually competent again...And then it just faded away.

THe embarrasment and shame of not getting it up is also fueling the anxiety for future sexual encounters..She is incredibly supportive, but the point is we both enjoy sex, and I don't want her to suffer that consequence..


So, am I withdrawing? Am I still too high? I dont know..Any reccomendations..Im also about to hit up a buddy whos dealer sells viagra..I need help.

Personally all opiates kill the mood for sex for me . When I am on any opiate I never get in the mood and porn actually disgusts me . My wife hates it ,but what can I do . :) I love my opiates more then sex.
 
Have you had your testosterone levels checked? There's two types off blood tests, specifically ask for both to be run, generally the less expensive, less revealing test is performed. I endured exactly the same problem from the day I begin banging dope until while on methadone I scored a real hottie, and she was very into sex.

But I was only able to get it going one out of four tries, then that anxiety hit each time and it got worse. Cialis (sp?) only helped a little, mostly I got boners at the wrong time, like at work or driving.

I bet your testosterone is low... About two weeks to a month after I started using Testim (I now use Androgel), I was like a 21 year old, able to go for as long as she wanted/needed then busted nut like mad. I'm 46 and still use Androgel as bupe does the same to me. I still can out perform my 20 something self, able to literally go 45 minutes... Crazy acrobatics, tearing up the bed.

It is treatable, but the only form of testosterone that seems to work for most are the newer transdermal formulations, but ime, they work excellently. Oh, man did we get it on... Too bad she was a severe alcoholic and I had to kick her out... I still miss that crazy sex but it took some serious patience on her part until the raw gel transdermal formulations came out - patches didn't work but the gel you apply directly is the shizzness. I think there's a generic either available or in the pipeline for US patients.

Wishing you a hard time..
 
I had allot of the same experience on suboxone but it wasn't until I cut down to 2mg. I literally had no sex drive for a few months, it really put a damper on my relationship. Now I am on vivitrol and my sex drive continues to lack; I think naltrexone has this effect. Along with the effects opioids have on sex drive of course.
 
I've never experienced any sexual decline from any drugs, especially opiates, in fact, no matter how much opiates I take, it seems like an aphrodisiac for me, I can't explain it.

As for your situation, it happens to quite a bit of men, & they're not using opiates, so font dwell on it too much......also, you have a supportive gf in your situation, & you should realize she's a special girl.

There are other ways to please your gf w/o your penis, get inventive if the situation comes up again.

Don't put yourself down & get depressed & then the intense anxiety rolls in......in fact, extreme depression had me limp once as my gf was giving me a bj & I wasn't getting hard, that's the only time ever, so your adding anxiety with your opiate use, & you're adding twice the problem to your situation.

You're not ant less of a man when the situation arises (no pun intended), so don't feel any less adequate......the sexual organ works with the brain, theyre a team working together, but it all starts with the brain.
 
Yeah there's def a mental aspect to it for sure.. I think I'm gonna go to the go this week and see what my options are
 
I too experienced exactly what the OP described in terms of lack of drive on suboxone, and withdrawal making the whole idea distasteful. Long acting opioids seem to have a greater effect on testosterone levels, there's a nhi study on it but I'm on my phone, I'll try to link later. However, I noticed that after about the 2nd or 3rd day off, the drive returns with a vengeance. Also as a side note, when I'm in mild or moderate withdrawals and I don't orgasm daily I'll get wet dreams, which never happens outside of those circumstances.
 
What's crazy to me was when I was inducted on a high dose, I was always horny..then today, within thirty min of dosing, I was feeling the drive again.. Now its gone..

So it may be less of the opiate effect and more of the withdrawal effect?
 
I agree... testosterone levels are known to decline massively in opiate abusing men, including bupe. this will cause your lack of sex drive, boner, anxiety, etc. I am currently shooting 250mg testoviron (testosterone enanthate) every week to combat the low T effects of my bupe use.. it works wonders...
 
^^cuz that would rock..what sucks is I probably wouldn't care if it wasn't for my S O. Just accept a temporary life of celibacy and focus on getting better.

This shit should be posted in "should I try heroin" as what you have to look forward to.

Ofcourse opioids mess testosterons, U should get simple blood test and maybe testosterone replacement therapy. Im on my way with methadone and I have just one testicle, just survived testcancer. Methadone is known to lower mens testosterone alot. My testosterone was signficantly low... now waiting for TRT. It is a fact that mens suffer lower T who uses opioids and thats ur case for sure. PM what ur freetestosterone bloodtest says? Ihad 12,4 and that is too low especially for 24 year old guy. if 15 or lower TRT is recomended but at this age it should be more like 20-25. Let me know what it says

just part of opiate life, man. havent used my dick in CLOSE TO A YEAR! this is the longest it's been since I've lost my virginity at 15. its fucking sad that I barley even watch porn at this point; maybe once I week ill TRY to jerk it and sometimes ill just not find the right video to watch and use it as an excuse to not do a damn thing.

this is me on bupe; when I was using dope my dick would dare work or even think about it. was somehow even worse than it is now, which is still bad, but not as bad as it once was. even if I can jerk off once a week nowadays I am happy. back when shooting dope (I say back as if I dont still do it once in a while, or as if I didnt just stop 2 months ago) I never had sex. I was w/ my ex GF for 3 years and during our final year I was a bad dope junkie and I fucked her once a month, if that. half the time I didnt even want to but had to just because I am here BF and its what I had to do, right? just fucking sad, man.

opiates killed my fucking dick.
 
I haven't came in 4 months. I know, it's sad, but the opioids make me indifferent. Kratom is my current opioid drug of choice and it's just as bad as the rest of 'em.

I'm really interested to hear you say that. Did you start on kratom this go around? I only ask because I used it to soften a suboxone wd, and my drive came back with a ferocity even on the kratom, more so after the discontinuation.
 
Ya the way she goes man....I'm on 120 mgs of methadone daily,and currently stay with two sexy sisters,but other then the fact that I've noticed they are beautiful,I have no desire to bone either of em,when me not on dope would hump their leg if they let me!

No desire for porn,sex, hell even other male instincts (like the urge to fight to protect what's yours) have vanished
 
Just watch a bunch of nasty porno until you get one of those weird boners that you are ashamed of, but you fap anyways. Then introduce said porno to your girlfriend, and tell her to act it out. Although she might not be into the beastiality or golden showers, she might enjoy the gangbangs by a bunch of brothas in which you watch. Then everyone is happy including yourself. WIN WIN.

Or just take viagra. Hundos for the win, you will see ALL KINDS of veins.

This time I did. I can picture it not having such a profound effect on libido if you were using it to step down from stronger opioids. My body doesn't care though, an opioid is an opioid.
 
well, opiates not only killed my desire for sex but my ability..it didnt matter what the woman looked like, i wasnt interested..the testosterone lowering effect of opiates can last a long time even after getting off..

hell, benzos, ssris, most drugs kill my sex drive...only ones that increase it are stims and they fuck up your ability..lol..
