Dude,Ive never taken methadone but I would guess it does.Its an opiate.Dont stay on it very long either.It makes w/d's from fast released opiates seem like a picnic.Be up front with your lady.Im sure she will understand.Besides, there are other ways you gratify her.Its not a permanent situation anyway.When you get all the opiates out,sex will be more incredible than you ever imagined.
Good Luck

....who am I?Dr.Ruth.LOL
Tim aka Dr Ruth... LMAO. That is too cute. You need a new screen name now......

Pauly, yes Methadone kills the sex drive. I don't know if you are using Methadone for a slow detox, but PLEASE be careful. I have been in a MMT program for almost two years, and Methadone is the worst detox out there. It is not designed for people just to use for a short time. Buprenorphine is a better choice for that, if you can find a doctor in your area.

Methadone is a synthetic opiate, but some of the side effects are decreased sexual drive. It does return when you go off of it. I have an entire wealth of info Pauly, just drop me a line via email, and I can give you all of it. Take care of you, and I would bet your girl would understand if you explain it to her. I even have some items she can read.

First off Pauly your my Idol--34? 23 yr old fiance--LOL

Pauly the sex drive will come back. If you and fiance are open heck man there are lots of different ways to go. Ever try some form of sex toys? Woman love that stuff. Lots of men are afraid to experiment.

Also is just lack of drive or other issue? Viagra works very well. Speak to a doctor.

Pauly I have a feeling one day you in the near future your sex drive will come back better than ever,

Good Luck-- You are my Idol---Jeff

P.S pauly if you do get on a subox program I can tell you the sex drive comes right back immediatly.
Thanks Carrie.You are right.Buprenorphine would be a much better choice.You would only need to stay on it about a week.They make money off that stuff so dont let them talk you into staying on it indefinitely.
Tim, please don't put our laundry out on a board..k, tiger?
LMAO
Way too much info...he he
I feel bound to the methadone maintaince i tried every thing i use to be a cop,had a bar as this came to happen to me i got hammered one night closed up alone left gun in office do to how much i had to drink,six goones come in i try to fight back 430 in the morning my partner stops cause he found, me in a pool of blood after seeing the lights still on fractured scull broken eyesocket stabbed severl times. brken this that I could go on, any way Dr.gives me 7.5 perks for I dont even remember how many months+Post Tramatic Stress DISSORDER they i probably had that for years this just blew the fuse. but fffffffffffffffffittttt those perks worked great for all problems untill the perscriptions ran out so did the money
Pauly, are you planning on methadone for life? You should look into suboxone as I think it is less brutal if you want off of it.
I am not a dr, but heard methadone is rough.

Pauly-I think methadone is too intense for a Percocet habit.At the most I would go with Sub.Methadone has its own madness.
I was on oxycontin and they suggested methadone to me and I said "No Way".
I know some people who are still on it after 5 years.It has some nasty side effects.
Just a suggestion.
lmao...dr tim ruth and wendy...sittin in a tree....k-i-s-s-i-n-g...

Tarzan ain't no Dr. Ruth if ya know what I mean...Schwannng.

well, my dirty lil ol' mind is about winding down for tonight...one more bottle for the baby and i get about 7 hours sleep until breakfast...so i'd say you two are safe!
Have a great night Janet. Uggg, night feedings.

I,m one of those people who you have seen in that line whose been there for 15 plus years.Most of the people you see are not interested in detoxing,they are only interested in not getting sick until they can score. The great majority are hard core heroin addicts.You gotta have some patience,if not compassion while standing in that line . It will humble you.
Yeah,it effects your sex drive the longer your on it. However,there are treatments and therapy if needed(and your not embarrassed) and a understanding partner is invaluable
Sounds like you should talk to the staff of ,nurses,doctors,counslers,and whoever else you have to and begin the process of getting out of there. Methadone doesnt care if your a heroin addict or perc popper. If allowed to,it will become a huge problem, not a treatment.
The extra stress of standing in line as an ex-cop cant be a good thing.

I,ve finally started a serious detox myself. Im tapering to 20-30 mg then going to subutex,and will take it from there.
Get a plan in place,and ask for, and accept all the mental health services that they offer.
Good luck my friend
peace& respect

Damn, I think something else is wrong bro..though Ive never been on methadone...I had a bad perc habit..then had the doc give me just oxycodone so I would save my liver. I was taking 90mg-120mg a day for years and quit cold turkey no methadone. Wasnt easy, but honestly not that hard either. So 1st thing is quit that methadone at once. Its worse than percs I had a normal sex drive on percocets and now 22 days clean its still great...granted its so intense It doesnt last as long as Id like, but seems to get a little better everyday. Get some viagra, better yet get your test levels checked ask for a blood panel and tell them you want test levels checked...maybe you need testostorone replacement therapy. You need to see a doc. I cant imagine going two weeks with no sex let alone a year. good luck see a doc and get off methadone.
Thanx for advise espechaly Carry,Jack Jack i know it sounds like im jugeing everyone in that line but believe me it has hummbled , me I was perscribed percs for a long time by the end i was takeing an average of 10/80mg a day I lost every thin financhialy, ihad a Harley caddy condo the last thing i pound was my rolex,my habbit was around a grand a wk.
So money wise methadone saved my life because i was just about to take it, you guys ansewred my question its the methadone killig my sex drive.
I was up to 179mg. off meth i started to taper off 2 months ago im down to 124mg I felt like mush at 179 the lower i go the better i feel i thankgod i found this web sight cause I was to proud to go to meetings and i feel comfortable here I think talking with you guys is part of my therapy even after im done with meth only another addicict can understand wair we are comeing from.
But every time i stop wrighting i feel like a wight was lifted of my chest and ill keep cheking for a response and when i connect i fel beter then to trully thank you so much for your compasion!
