Orgasm while on methadone....NEED HELP!!!

I've been off methadone for a little over a month. I was in the same boat throughout my year of MMT. No orgasm and no desire to even perform the deed. I had my testoserone levels checked the week I came of the 'done and it was low. Dr. put me on 5 grams of androgel in the morning and here we are a little over a month later and I can't get enough sex now! I guess i forgot how good it actually felt cause my wife and I are making up for lost time so to speak. Lots of sex and lots of masturbation after the year hiatus from sex. My libido has come back tenfold! Once you are ready to start weaning off methadone, your ability to achieve orgasm will come back and it's all you will want to do! I agree with others here. Go for the blood test and have your hormone levels checked, you may be surprised to find out that the levels are way low and causing your problem.
Good luck!

thank you for the reply; but i guess i should have specified. my libido is FINE.(super fine, in fact!) the problem is that i can't orgasm. i will feel like i'm going to; but never do. it's even more frustrating than if i wasn't getting anywhere close to an "O", if that makes sense. unlike the ORIGINAL post, i'm a female; but i don't know that it matters. my sweet b/f has been INCREDIBLY patient and willing to go to great lengths to try to "help"; but nothing seems to work. and lately, now that he is trying so much harder, it's actually WORSE because before i wouldn't even get close. now, i will feel like i'm going to, but never actually reach the peak. thank you for taking the time to read my post!

I know this is an old post, but even though I can orgasm on 135 mg of methadone, I have found that weed enhances my orgasms and makes me extremely horny. Only a small amount though... like two or three hits. If this isn't an option I really don't know what to tell you because when I first started methadone I suffered from dryness and the inability to orgasm, but that soon passed and I am happy and orgasmic now!:) Just take my advice though (if you can) as there are ways to smoke just every once in a while and still pee clean. I get tested like once every month or two weeks at the MOST so I just smoke right after I get tested. The effects last several days for me too.

The C, thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I realize testosterone is important for sexual function in both men and women. It had not occurred to me to have it checked; so I will do my best to look into this. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm wondering, though, to those of you on HRT, have you noticed any negative effects from taking testosterone? Any aggression or anger issues? I have kind of a hot temper anyway (sorry, but it's true!). It wouldn't STOP me from trying HRT if, in fact, my levels were low. I would just want to be aware if this were a possible side effect.

Re: the most recent post suggesting herb, thank you VERY much for any and all suggestions, but, even though I USED to smoke pretty regularly, it doesn't do me right anymore, so I quit several years ago. Thank you, though, for taking the time to read and reply! Any and all suggestions welcome!

one more thing- thanks, also, for mentioning the dryness issue. we pretty much ALWAYS need lube these days, but i didn't realize it could be related to the methadone. hmmmmm, food for thought...

Yes, weed does make me feel a little off sometimes, but that soon passes and I'm left feeling pretty decent. I mean another thing that helped me was to give myself orgasms atleast once a week. That seemed to help keep blood flow there and I also do kegel exercises.

I have the same problem. i was taking like 8 80 mg oxys a day b4 methadone. that drug literally saved my life. no offense man, but if sex is one of the reasons you want off heroin, you will never stay sober. the reason i stay sober is because my son needs a good dad. i have been at 80 mgs for like 8 months now and my counselor says i can start going down in a month. i just wanna stay off that crap. i was sober before all this crap for like 3 years and then my grandma died and left me a large inheritance. my girlfriend now, who has never even been drunk, has witnessed all the hell drugs, especially opiates< bring. bc of her and my son i will never touch this crap again. im done!!!!! i like sex but i would never do it again if it meant i would never take a pill again. this was a little off subject, but drugs are so terrible and ruining young and innocent lives

if anyone has a reply my email is > danielcuckler@yahoo.com. thx for everyones time, and remember i am begging u to stay off drugs!!!!
