Post ok, Subox, wellbu, sexdrive, anorexia

ok, I gave in and finally went on Suboxone, wellbutrin and of course still on klonopin. My liver is repairing it self so the doc gave me the go ahead.

Pros - I frickin feel great, really I never felt this great in my life (or maybe I did and just forgot) My complexion has turn from grey to almost human over night. I actually feel like I took a hit of E but.....

Cons - Ive gotten my interest of sex back which I havent had in years from opiate abuse BUT "he" still doesnt want to "wake up". Does Yohimbe or Viagra work while taking these meds? Im not looking to be promiscuous but I dont want this to be a problem if I jump into a relationship plus im only 24!. Another thing, Im trying to get back into shape and body building but Im never hungry and I just wont smoke pot during the day. Methadone made me eat a lot but I wasnt taking wellbutrin at the time so I dont know what is causing that. Plus this is not methadone.

So, not new to dope.....but new to buprenorphine, any PERSONAL advice would be GREAT! Thanks

Cade, ask your doctor about Viagra. I'm certain it would be safe for you to use. Working out will also help. Good luck!

Glad to know there's another person who feels great on Suboxone!

Kitty . . . I think my husband just paid $100 for a 20 day supply of Suboxone. A lot cheaper than what he was paying on the street for Oxy and other pain meds! He's on 22mg/day and feels great. He'll go to 20mg/day in a couple of weeks. He may be on this forever . . . his doctor will closely monitor his progress and see what dosage is right for him. It seems to me to be closer to an anti-depressant than a maintenance drug.
