Hi all, i would really like to know more about suboxone. My partner has been on it for the last 4 months and man has he changed. We have been together for nearly ten years and over the last year and even more so since he has been on suboxone we have no sex life, he shows no emotion nor loving. I am finding this hard to cope with. I feel like a stranger just living together and i dont know what to do about it. He is too full of pride to speak to a doctor,he has no interest what so ever.
Good morning, I wanted to inform you that the situation you are in with your husband is NOT your fault! I have been on Suboxone for just about 7 years now and am going threw the same thing as your husband. I have NO sexual interest, have no feelings, (except for the crying spells) and feel as though I am alone on this journey with NO support. The best advice I can give you from a person suffering the same as your husband is show him your supportive of his recovery and talk to him. Let him know you are there when he needs a shoulder and you love him. I promise you he will turn around. It would be in your best interest to do some research on Suboxone, the withdrawals, and more so it shows your husband you really are committed to him and his recovery.
Best Wishes,
Tanya

Hello mishy, I saw your post and I can relate. I was on suboxone for 6 or 7 years and I finally quit taking it 6 months ago for the very reason you are talking about. I'm a 28 year old male, I had No sex drive or any interest in anything. It took a toll not only on myself, but also my family. Has your partner talked about quitting suboxone? I wouldn't want to see anyone get off of suboxone and start using their doc (drug of choice) again but I also know the effects suboxone has on the body and it sucks. On a positive note, if he has only been on it for 4 months I do believe he could quit with very little withdrawl and discomfort. I tapered down to .25 of a mg after 7 years and only had a few sleepless nights. It took a lot of determination and patience but I have to say was well worth it! i do wish you and your partner the best of luck and God bless!
