Have you stopped taking the pills yet?
Yes, have you stopped taking them? If yes how long ago? What was your dose when you stopped?
I think you'll start getting back in the "groove" once the pills are out of your system. All you have to do is flush the pills down the toilet. Then you go to the drugstore and get all your supplies for the Thomas Recipe at the bottom of this page. Once your there, get a couple big bags of empsom salts, Gatorade, Immodium, and then start the detoxing process. Are you ready to do that? Let us know, and we can be more specific with your supplies, and what to expect. Good Luck!!
As you see we need more info to be able to answer, I'll just offer my two cents, I quit oxy cold turkey early last Wednesday morning...and last night I was chasing my husband around begging. HA. I'm sure it's different for everyone and others on here have much more and better information for you than I do, but I have read that sex drive and libido returns with a vengeance after kicking the pills...and for me, that is definitely true. I really hope you get off of the pills once and for all and can thoroughly enjoy this new relationship, not just sexually, but mentally, physically, and emotionally!!
This site has been a Godsend for sure, we will all be here with you to help with the wd (they suck, won't lie) but even at a week I am feeling okay and can see why life is so much better without the control of the pills.
Good luck, let us know how you are doing!
What spike said for sure! Super horny right after detox. Lol .....it's levelled out but I think that's just me.
I agree with Spike and Spider! Super horny which really suc*s when you are single!
spider and spike
OK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME THEN!!! Sex is the last thing i am actually thinking about LOL Maybe that could be b/c I have a 2 year old? Why don't I want sex what the heck LOL ... Also I am not feeling pretty these days lol Barely have the motivation to do my hair LOL
Oh hun, it took me a long time to fix my hair and put on make-up. I did not feel good about myself at all but my hormones were still going crazy! And yes, having a 2 year old makes a huge difference! I couldn't imagine going thru withdrawal with a 2 year old! There is nothing with you at all!
Thanks You made me feel so much better! I am not feeling too good about myself at all right now, Guess that is pretty normal? I want to do my hair and make-up just dont feel like it though LOL I am a mental mess
It will get better I know I just need to give myself more time. And Yes withdrawling with a 2 year old made it so much worse, As I wanted to just lay around and I couldnt... besides it wasn't his fault what mommy was going through!
For me, after about a month when the energy came back my drive came back ....definitely more so than when on opiates. However, with kids, working, etc. my drive isn't that high (just ask my husband).:) However, I will say for me that sex is way more enjoyable now that I am drug free!
Thank You! You made me feel so much better! Today is 30 days so maybe the days, weeks ahead will get better for the sex drive.
My sex drive came back like 1000 times what it ever was before pills, about 2 days into detox....and here I am almost 2 months later and it still hasn't leveled out....it's still extremely high. I think it depends on the person. I will tell you that awhile back my husband was on oxys for a chronic back problem it they actually caused low testosterone in him...he had the blood test done for it. Once he switched back to hydros his testosterone slowly increased again, if you're dealing with a low testosterone issue from the oxys it might take a little while for ya to get back to normal.
PSSSSSH, isn't anything wrong with you! sorry it's been a delay in my response, I am at work, so you have a 2 year old and so do I!! It just happens that my "2 year old" comes in the form of a 46 year old man named "boss" :))
seriously though, so I can't do my hair (thank God for pony tails!) and make-up is as scarce as I can get by with...I actually feel kinda terrible, BUT last night I felt like a nice breeze could've gotten me "there". So, although I felt like total doggie poo, I had the quickest, got right to it uh..."moment". So, not to get too graphic or rude, but have you tried? even if you're alone? sorry if I'm offending anyone!!!!! just saying you may be surprised on how quickly/easily things happen (which I've NEVER been like that). will say that surely released all of those goodies in my brain after that and I slept a solid 4 hours...which is tough in the first week of ct wd. Anyways, just a thought!
I went through not able to get enough, but no control over ejaculation. I then went through a phase of insecurity, then it balanced out. I don't know how long all that took, but I get until I my testicles shrivel up to enjoy sex again. No matter how long it was, it was really worth it. I definitely had to be sober for the process to start. I don't think I even thought of sex in detox, if I did, it was fleeting.
lol well said and what you have said is very true for man and women (not a creep just wanted to let men know as well !
The original poster has not responded so I hope we didn't scare him off! Lol. Am glad to know that I was not the only one whose hormones went crazy!
I know brokenTO BE FIXED SOONspiritandsoul! I'm so sorry JKL37!! but as you see NO ONE is alone with any of the issues wd and opiates bring. Hope you keep posting, I hope you let us know how you are doing, blessings to this relationship!
I think they should add a vibrator to the Thomas Recipe.
Pat...I just laughed so hard that my tea came out of my nose! I totally agree with you!
Lmao we are all crazy!!! This is so funny! I so needed this laugh!!
Love you all I really do lol
You mean there isn't a vibrator in the Thomas recipe???! oooooops.... LMAO!
You guys are funny! Hydro knocked my testosterone level in half in 3 years...then again, i'm 45. It should only drop 1% a year after 30 (Mayo Clinic)...i just hastened it's downfall!
That said at day 16....no interest yet! That could be the 3 & 6 yr olds though.
I bet that's true. You have to put all of your energy into looking after kids. Maybe we should volunteer to babysit??
No way, I couldn't do it, lol.
