Opiates and Sex Drive

[Cynthia]

Matt was it? I am a Girl myself and i kinda understand your point of view, you want to give your GF the pleasure she wants and you know that, but tell her, look in her eyes and tell her that its the drugs that can't make you have sex with her, she might be mad but she will understand, sooner or later you have to stop, i don't say you have to stop as that is your own right and i respect it, as it is your property but you will have to stop ; Tell your GF that you will try to be more active and take less drugs to see if it helps, tell her you need HER support in this matter!

He never said he snorted pills. I'm also not sure what you mean by that. Some pills are better snorted than taken orally as long as it doesn't have Acetaminophen it, not including the tamper-proof Oxycontins. Pills aren't better than heroin either. There isn't a huge difference between them and they are both still opiates, but heroin is still a stronger high, especially if injected. Admitting you have a drug problem doesn't mean anything. Realizing you have a problem doesn't necessarily make you willing to do something about it.

Most people who abuse opiate pharmaceuticals rail them, and you know this don't be silly. Pills are better than heroin in the sense that you are guaranteed to get what you pay for, you also don't get a hot dose from your dealer if he feels like you are screwing him over somehow, pills are guaranteed to be what you get.

Secondly if you don't admit and realize you have a problem then you will NEVER look for help for it, you are just too jaded in your view of life and drugs to understand anything like this. Drugs aren't necessarily bad nor does taking drugs make you are bad person, but when other aspects of your life that you consider important start to fall apart because of drugs then drugs become bad, same as any other behavior. He needs to get off the opiates if he does want a sex life (I'll also state that she will probably dump him eventually if they can't have sex) with her.

Thirdly I railed an oxy 80 first time ever really having any opiates and I felt amazing but I sat at my computer desk drooling all over myself and that kinda shit just isn't for me, I'd rather have x/cocaine/pv and actually be able to do something.

The ignorance in this thread is astounding. Most people who posted in here have no idea what they are talking about. And DJ - the solution is simple. STOP TAKING OPIATES.

It sounds like your opiate use has escalated to a point beyond casual/recreational, to the point where it is having serious negative affects on your sex life. This should be clear to you right away that it is time to stop. If you feel that you can't or if it is already too late, go check yourself into detox. DO NOT GET ON METHADONE.

I have been on methadone now for nearly 2 years and was addicted to opiates (primarily heroin) for years before that. My life is incredibly fucked up and although methadone allows me to maintain a somewhat regular lifestyle and follow a somewhat normal routine (like being able to moderate here for 6 months, or hold down a job again), you are still substituting one addiction for another. They call methadone "liquid handcuffs" for a reason.. because once you are on it you can never do anything or go too far from the clinic.

And take it from me, methadone is much harder to come off than heroin. I wish that I'd had the balls to go back to detox and settled this once and for all when I had the chance nearly 2 years ago. My life is a living hell and you are heading straight for the same place. Duck out now before you lose everything you have, including the girlfriend who you are not having sex with.

I gotta say I'm not gonna tell you to get off of anything your life not mine.

I can tell you that there is a prescription pill called Subpoxen I think thats how its spelled. It helps you get over the withdrawals and also blocks the dopimine from getting to the receptors in your brain meaning if you did want to do any type of pill or H it will not feel the same and you will not like it anymore.

About the having a low sex drive. I am right there with you.

How long have you been dating this girl???

I seem to start dating a girl we have sex for about 6 months like everyday then it starts to fizzle down from there where it gets to the point of me not even wanting sex for a week straight. Eat BANANAS. Im serious this has helped me tremendiously! I eat about 2 bananas a day and I cant get enough of any girl. That and its also good for multiple other things.

 

Duck out now before you lose everything you have, including the girlfriend who you are not having sex with.

Thats also the advice i'd give you. I was very addicted to weed, pills and speed. My personl health had suffered for a long time already during that time. The "party" kept going, it never ended, daily use, morning, during school breaks, after school. There were times when i felt terrible inside, completely empty, and then it got to a point that it was just too much for me. Mentally i was totally messed up. I then broke contact with ALL my friends, had none left cus the only ones i had left after all those years were daily drug users. I had 2 years of depression, insecurity, sometimes social anxiety and sleeping problems(which i still have today). I never asked professional help, had nobody to talk to about this, had to keep it all to myself. For the past year things got a lot better for me personally. But when i look back on all of this, i have regrets, many regrets.
Ask yourself, do you need all of this? Its just not worth it :/ there are greater things in life.
Throw around your life man, these words are only words but i truely, in my heart, wish that you'll do something about it. I went through a mental hell and dont wish it to anybody on this planet.
Today im still working on fixing my mistakes from back then, dont let things get past a point u have no control of and would force u to quit, which is what happened to me.

I actually quit heroin and haven't touched it in prolly a month + but I have a scrip for 20 Hydro's so I think that's all I need.

Keeping off the H is best because I can't handle it, it was causing pain just to shoot up and get high. I'd like to talk to you more about this on skype sometime. Add my djweaselsythe

That's what I said. I just meant that pills with Acetaminophen absolutely shouldn't be snorted. I remember you mentioning snorting a Lortab in another thread once, so I was just trying to make it clear that that's not a good thing to do. I wasn't really disagreeing with anything in particular that you said in this thread. You did just assume that he was snorting the pills though, which if you read his original post, he mentions hydrocodone and T3, which both have Acetaminophen and I doubt he snorts them. There is no reason to. It's way too much powder for one and it doesn't hit you any faster or harder, so it's completely useless. Now a lot of pills like oxy, roxy, opana, morphine, suboxone, etc etc are better snorted since it does hit you harder.

And when I said heroin is better, I was only referring to the high itself. Even I prefer pills over heroin mainly because it's overpriced and cost twice as much as pharms. I've never had a bad bag, but some are definitely weaker than others since it's cut down.

I agree with all this, but I have mixed feelings about methadone/suboxone. Most people just go the doctor and get a script every month for as long they want, which will never get you clean. Though if you enter a good program, then they'll set you up with drug tests, NA meetings, and will give you a time limit of usually about 3-6 months. You really don't want to be on it for long. They wean you off slowly until you're completely off them. This is pretty much the only way that methadone or subs will ever work, otherwise you're usually just throwing another addiction into the mix. Still though, it should be avoided and only used as a last resort. You definitely don't need it DJ since you've only been doing them for a few months and it already sounds like you're making an effort to slow down anyways.

Good job. That's a great first step. Heroin is of course a stronger high, especially when shot, but it also comes with more side effects as I'm sure you know. How have you been feeling since you quit?

 

[djweasel]

Well its an every day struggle, I want to get more H but I know I can't. Shooting it was hard enough to stop but my body feels better, my gf and I are off it. I mean I was lucky to get some subs and it helped me not have the horrible withdrawal. I don't think me getting a scrip for 20 Hydro 10/650's is a problem because I am not abusing it this is the first time in 3 months I've gotten em.

Now my buddy from work who's 35 even said I look alot better don't got the bags under my eyes from the nodding and being so tired. I like the feeling but I'm glad I'm not doing it damn near daily. Before it was only 2 days between at the most and now I've been off just been smoking weed, still waiting on my zip Which helps. I will also say that pills help too.

So you do know what subs are. Good They helped me to get over everything.
But then again Subs do get to be a habit. For the past 2 weeks i've been clean off of everything and I have to say I feel so much better. I now don't have to look at my money and think well 100 of its going to subs and the rest can be gas and etc.

Its awesome you've got off H too. Keep it up. Life get so much better when your not worrying about your next fix.

Yea, the subs worked well for me and the gf, we only had a few but that worked for us to stop the withdrawals. The H is hard to stop but I'm glad I'm off it.
