Hello,

I'm hoping that by being open and honest on your site, taht I might be able to get some kind of general guidance. Like many of you, I am taking far too much hydro. Originally, it was taken for a bad back, but quickly became a problem. I have decided that it is time to quit, and have made an appointment with a Subox dr. to help me with ridding myself of this demon.

But, I have a very personal problem that I'm wondering if someone can help me with. I'm not sure if it's because of the hydro or not, but I'm hoping it is because if I quit, maybe it will fix the problem. My problem is this:

i'm taking about 25 10/500's a day, and only recently started taking that much. I was taking 13 a day for about a year, and though that was too much, was still able to function well and get along well with my wife. I am in my 40's, and to help out with our sex life, i like other men, used the help of Cialis or viagra to spruce up the sex life. thank god for viagra, cuz it worked like a charm, and really helped our sex life a lot. But, one thing I've noticed in the last few weeks is that neither cialis nor viagra are working anymore. Could this be because of all the hydro I'm taking? Even though I've been taking a lot of hydro (up to 13 a day) viagra or cialis always worked, and worked well. But lately, it hasnt' worked at all. i've recently started taking over 20 a day, and sometimes 25. Does anyone know if this would cause me to have problems "rising to the occasion" if you know what I mean? This is causing more stress than you can possibly realize.

So, I'm going to try suboxone and finally kick the hydro habit. I'm prepared to do whatever it takes, but I'm hoping that it will help with the sex life by quitting the hydro. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with any similar situation? I would really value anyones input on the matter, and if anyone has any suggestions that might help, I'd really appreciate it. Before, when I would take 13 a day, I would be perfectly able to rise up, but now it just won't move. It's very problematic, and I need help.

I hope to hear some good advice, and I wish everyone the best of luck.

Mark

Well Mark thanks for sharing.I personally don't have a mans problem but I can tell you I had to FAKE it for almost two years being a woman. Hydro has a big effect on ones sex drive. I've been off hydro for a few months and boy I'm one content woman.So I would think it works the same for men and woman. Good luck to you.Missy


I try to take one day at a time,but sometimes several days attack at once.

Mark, I too am a woman and I have to agree with missinformed, the hydro definitely puts a damper on the old sex drive. My husband NEVER, EVER has that kind of problem but a couple weeks ago he took an Ultram about an hour before bed and for the first time ever, he couldn't "rise to the occassion," so, yes I'm sure your problem has everything to do with the amount of hydro you have in your system. Try not to fret about it too much (because that only adds to the problem), and good luck to you with the suboxone. Keep us posted as to your progress especially (as I'm sure you're well aware of that much APAP is not doing your liver a bit of good). My prayers are with you because this is such a difficult habit to break. Good luck. Niki.

Howdy...
This is an adult board, and we are able to have these talks....I think it's great!!!!

Here's what I've read that people are saying..

When you take Pain medicine that is narcotic...it makes it real hard to have a climax.

Now, a woman can "Fake it"...but, a man is going to get "Busted" every time.....

Some people like to think that they can go on and on forever like the Eveready Bunny. And then there are others that DON'T want to have it last for hours.

Actually my husband had that same problem when he was having to take Hydros for a longer period of time than he wished to. We discussed it at the time and as long as your wife is understanding and realizes this is a temporary problem I'm sure she'll be just fine. In the meantime there are other ways to just make her feel good as long as it doesn't make you feel less fulfilled.
One of the things you need to consider, too, is all the blood thinners you have been ingesting with the hydros, too. Makes a big difference, according to my husband and his doctor.
Good luck. Like mentioned before, tho, try to get over one hurdle at a time.

Thank you all so much for your kind advice. I definitely will take it one step at a time. 5465, can I ask you about what you mean with the "blood thinners that I've ingested with all the hydros"? I'm not sure I understand, but I knwo that my "problem" in the sex area has something to do with blood flow. Perhaps you could shed some light on it for me with your knowledge. I'm not sure I understand what it means. Are there blood thinners ingested when taking hydro? If so, does that adversely affect me being able to "rise up" so to speak? If that's the case, I'm willing to quit CT. lol. But, seriously, my first step is to get rid of this nasty habit, and thats' why Im seeing the subox doctor. was your husband able to perform as soon as he stopped taking hydro, or even while he was on suboxone, if he was?

I'm sorry to inundate you with all the questions, but I'm a newbie to all of this, and I'm trying desperately to do the right thing, while at the same time keeping my family life together. I love my wife and want so much for her to be happy.

Finagler, sorry but I believe 5465 has left. She may be back in the afternoon, and can reply to your question.
I don't know exactly what she meant concerning the blood thinners either so I can't be of any help, sorry.
Unless The Viagra and Cialis act as a blood thinner?? I really have no idea, hopefully someone else can shed some light on this for you.
Good Luck to you with getting off the Hydrocodone....25 is a lot to be ingesting everyday. That is a very high level of Acetaminophen to be taking daily, and can really damage the health of your liver.
I wish you the best...

I am also a women so not much help, but with my experience, when I'm on even a small amount of hydro say 4-5, it takes alot longer for me to climax if at all, but my husband knows,and I don't have to fake it because he is very understanding, usually he'll finish, and then I'll keep trying with a "toy", and if my mind is in it then sometimes I'm able and sometimes I just give up, if I'm not in the mood,
I agree with the other person about pleasuring your wife in other ways, or perhaps buying her a new "toy" to experiment with. I think you should be very careful with the viagra, and mixing that much hydro, I'm not sure of what can happen mixing that much, but it can't be good for you, and especially if you have any heart trouble at all. Maybe the antinplamtory(sp?) from the acetm. in the hydro may thin your blood as well but I'm not sure about it.
Also, if your mind is worried about it going in, then it'll be hard to. I also know if you are taking any antidepressants some of those have bad sexual side effects, or alcohol, it could be a combination of things.
Good luck, I hope you find a way to make this all work for you without any harm to your liver or health. God Bless!

Finagler.....

I did some checking around, and I found that there is a mixture that your Urologist(sp?) can prescribe. It has to be taken to a compounding Pharmacy.

This is something that you inject into the shaft of your penis. Before you scream.....I hear that you use a fine gage needle, and you hardly feel it at all......I know...I know....it's the thought of it..But, if it works like I hear it does....It's MAGIC!!!!!!

Are you Diabetic, by the way?...This is very commen with them. You might find some information on a web site for Diabetics.

Good luck Kiddo.....Oh,....Go to a Adult shop, and get yourself one of those rings that go down on the beginning of the shaft. It might help too.

Hi Finagler
The way it was described to me were two things. Hydros have acetemetiphen in them and especially at the dosage you were taking you were getting quite a bit. Thus the blood thinner. Number two: the fact that hydros are used on smooth muscle tissue and desensitize pain-viola. So your glands and muscles down there are sort of "turned off" right now.
JMO I don't know if I would consider CT or not, but others around here can address that issue alot better than me I think.
Good luck
Becky
