Bupe Killed My Winky

[Chemical_Boy]

This sucks...

Since I have been taken suboxone, my sex drive has completely GONE AWAY! This is terrible1 I can't imagine a worse side effect.... I love sex.

I have been told by many women that I have an unusually high sex drive. I have always enjoyed this fact!

Now I could care less if I get laid.

WTF...


Nothing else has ever had this effect.... antidepressants, pain meds, street drugs, and all of the other weird shit I have been on. Heroin and oxy make me horny as hell, and I can screw forever. Orgasm is a little muted, but it is worth it for the pleasure of coupling with someone for so long and passionately. But with Bupe, I am officially an eunuch. No interest in sex, short lived, and cumming hardly feels like anything.

Fuckin' A, I will be glad when I am completely clean.

This happen to anyone else

Yeah, CB - I have NO sexual desire these days, thank you Suboxone.
But I learned that opiate use can really mess with your testosterone levels (both males & females). If you have insurance, you can have your doc check your testosterone level by a blood test. If it's low he can prescribe testosterone. It comes in a cream, a gel, a patch and a shot.
Interestingly (at least to post menopausal women like me) when your ovaries quit, you lose your sex drive because they aren't making testosterone anymore either. I complained to my girlie doc about the no libido thing & he prescribed a testosterone cream. It takes about a month to work, but CB, if you remember, check back & I can tell you of the return of my screaming orgasms, I hope:D.
Get your levels checked, bro.

I don't use bupe but suffer the same fate, it's a commonality among all opiate users....

I get crazy horny when using things like dope.... usually as it starts to wear off. I think it is the fluctuation that does it. But having a constant level of opiate seems to kill the sex drive. Kadian (taken as prescribed) did the same thing, but not as bad. This Bupe is great for what it is intended, but god damn, it is so unlike me not to be walking around with a hard on for at least %25 of my waking time.

I am thirty, so it is not like I am an 18 year old horn ball that wanks off every three hours, but I should still be wanted some nookie occasionally. Especially considering what a bombshell my girlfriend is!

Oh well, once I get off the shit in a couple of months, I am sure I will be back to being a freak again :D

[chopstix]

Bupe was definitely a step forward for me, but still interfered... Fuck that stuff..

I've read several reports stating libido near normal on bup..

[nick]

Hell,stick with the subs bro,a sex free life is a lot less stress .......cheaper too.

[chopstix]

Life without sex is like peanut butter without jelly.

Thanks RXQ!

Everything will work out.... Winky is a trooper.

Sometimes he needs some R&R, but sooner or later he always shows up and spoils the party;)

it'll take a lot more than dope or maintenance
to make me stop needing/wanting sex as much as i do
back when i did heroin all day every day
i was working as a hooker, so i was fucking constanly
but when i got home, i'd do a fat shot and still jump my man
if he wouldn't help me out, i'd hit the block again-
yes i'd make money, but sometimes i just needed to fuck
methadone hasn't treated me any differently, either
i was already having sex 2 weeks after i had my baby-
hurt like a son of a bitch but sometimes pain is good, right?

[kyuss]

I try to tell myself
that its just the means
to procreation
and I have enough children

I'm amazed at the posters like Shelley, whose libido hasn't died from opiate use. Bupe killed mine, deader than a doornail, ugh. I never had this problem before, sex appeal used to be an inherent part of who I was. Now I've got added financial stress too right now, which doesn't help. I don't feel sexy when I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to save myself from losing my home.

I'm assuming, (hoping) that if I meet someone that I'm really attracted to again, it will come back, but what if it doesn't? If it weren't for the digestive and libido issues, I could probably be on bupe forever, and not mind. But those two are the main reasons I have started tapering.

I'm surprised at this, because every girl I know with a habit still has the same or even stronger sex drive, but almost every guy I know loses it.

With me, a dope habit didn't necessarily affect drive- when I was high I just couldn't climax, and when I was sick I was horny as hell, but came instantly, both of which were total bummers.

But on this freakin deathadone, I haven't gotten a hard-on in like 2 months. It''s starting to worry me a little.

[littlemissbliss]

Yeah, in w/d, it's a different story, but who can really enjoy that?

Me =)

I think things change as you get older. My libido was a lot less affected by dope in my mid 20s than it is in my mid/late 30s... From my experience, chipping doesn't have much effect, but habits do.. And I'm really quite surprised at how much difference a crumb of bup can make.. Again, it was better for me on bup only, but nowhere near "normal."

[rockbottom]

try viagra--works 4 me

[littlemissbliss]

Me =)




LOL! It is a relief to finally have sensation again, but the runny nose, anxiety, etc kind of takes a little something away from it. ;)

Age definitely has something to do with it. Like it or not, our hormones start changing for both men and women in our 30's and beyond.

[SHELLEY]

when i'm dopesick i enjoy sex also
because it's a good distraction,
especially when you're waiting for the dope boy to wake up/deliver/calll
also i can come like 20 times from just being touched

the best drug to have sex on is methamphetamine
that shit is goddamn amazingb

[oxy kid]

I really have this problem and need to get out of it.

It does effects us girls too. Bupe actually seemed to help mine at least approach normal. During w/d sex is a good way to get endorphins flowing. Everything is hyper sensitive during w/d though so it's always quickies but always more than once

[chopstix]

^^ Srsly - sex and exercise and eating are the best ways to get endorphins flowing again, and ya, it helps to have a partner who understands wtf is up with you..

I find it worrisome about how I will deal with this whole thing in the future, in a relationship w/a non addict. Even if I manage to keep the whole bupe thing private, the wonky addict libido isn't going to serve me well. I was already on my way to being an addict in my last relationship, and it definitely affected things. I knew what the problem was, but wasn't ready to admit the whole opiate addiction thing. I'm not sure how I will handle it in the future. It would be great if I met a really nice guy who was also an addict, *and* would be ok w/working through the libido issue, but that's a lot to try and find in one person. Oh well, I guess that's something to deal with, when the time comes.
