suboxone and sex drive

Hello Everyone
I have a question....my husband started suboxen 2 weeks ago & it absolutely killed his sex drive. I am wondering if its the pills or if its mental....at first he was able to get an erection but not complete the task....now he cant even get it working...is it normal....does it go away while he is on the meds...he is taking 2 8mg a day.....
plz dont get me wrong I am very happy that he got on this medication and I sing its praises .. with the exception of the sex drive he is the man that I fell in love with again... plz just need some advise ... its really starting to bother him and I dont want him to get off the pills prematurely due to this situation but he is talking abt doing just that

I am on Suboxone and it has definitely taken a toll on my sex life with my wife.  The interest is there as much as it used to be.

A couple times a month is where we are at, sorry if that is too much info.  When I take less or miss a dose it does come back.  Maybe have your husband put off taking it until afterwards.

I take 8mgs once a day.  I do need to point out that my wife and I have never had a great sex life.

Well, I can tell you this. When my husband was alive the pills themselves killed his sex drive. And everytime we would w/d it would kill mine. So I am not really sure and everyone is different....

Good Luck..

[need advise plz]

my husband and I have always had a better than average sex life and now its nill... he says that the interest isnt even there ... he has tried but nothing.. he is on 16 mg a day...he takes 1 am and 1 pm ... he said he feels bad for me... I told him not to worry abt it but he does... I am not sure how to make him understand that I am just so happy to have him back (clean and sober) that its ok... I have tried and he says that he misses our sex life and wants it back

well i have been on it for 8 months, i take 3 8mg a day. its wierd at first i loved it. i could go for hours and then orgasm. but lately i have no problem getting it up but its very difficult to orgasm. and i last for hours. she is happy but well i like to finish if you know what i mean. it seems to take 3 days to get out of your system. so if you want to have one good night of sex take off 3 days then do it. but trust me its not you its the drug. i know i'm very capable sex wise so it does not bother me. i never had any problems before i started taking suboxen. so i quess do what you want. just know its not you its the drug. frank
