How long

[rsyski]

I am currently reducing my  oxi habit down, but I am having problems with  weird odors and my smell is very acute. Also am having a decline in sexual actvity is this normal. I have cut down from 150 to 40 so far. Any help would be appreciated and I AM SO TIRED OF BEING  ADDICTTED

I have also noticed a decline in my desire for sexual activity.....this has been hard on my marriage.  My husband just doesn't understand!!  Seems like the only interest I have is the pills.  They are my bestfriend, and my worst enemy....it's a love/hate relationship I have with them.  I need to get off these damn things, and get my life back....as do you.  We need to take OUR LIFE BACK!!!

I KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT, MY PROBLEM IS THAT KNOW ONE ONES MY PROBLEM AND I CAN NOT TELL IN FEAR OF JEOPARDIZING CAREER AND MARRIGE. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LOT OF YEARS AND IT GOT UP TO ME VERY QUICKLY ONCE I STARTED DOING THE 40'S. ANYWAYS HOPE YOU CAN CUT BACK AND QUIT TOO.

Any opiate will numb your libido... (key word... 'Numb")  

And the longer you take them... the more NUMB you become...

Vicious cycle   ..but treatable.. ONCE YOU STOP USING...

Queen is right, Numb is the word.......that is how I feel anyways.  It is to the point that my husband thinks I am cheating on him.  He knows I do the pills, but since he's never been addicted like I am, it's hard for him to understand.  We've been married nine years, and the past year has been tough.  I cannot wait to get back on track.  I wish you all the best of luck in your marriage and maybe you should talk to your wife.  Hopefully she will understand and work with you through this.  You need someone, as to not be alone.
