The function of sildenafil on female sexual pathways: a double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled study

My mission is to get off the suboxone, then to take the tests to check my testosterone levels and deal with it. I am sure even people that have not had a dependancy problem when they reach a certain age also go through a down time in this area. It passes from what I have heard. Sometimes they do need to spice things up. I know there have been studies that show a reduction in testosterone over long use of opiates. Once I am back and free from the mental anguish I am suffering from, excercising regualry and again proud of me, my desire hopefully will improve/return. If I have to I will look into, as I said, the medical side and possible testosterone patches. Viagra will not be in my future until I am 90.

• Female sexual dysfunction affects many women worldwide.
• Medical research continues to explore effective treatments.
• Sildenafil's role remains experimental for many women.
• Consultation with specialists is recommended for personalized care.

I guess what I am saying, you are not alone and as we all learn from this our collective experiences can help each other. It is possible I am also the only male that feels this way and if that is the case, I'd be surprised. The bottom line is depression, suboxone, opiates et all; Effect both male and female.

Key takeaways

sincerely C50 One of the best things that you can do when suffering from depression is to try to communicate & express your thoughts & feelings & emotions & what's going on inside your head. It's extremely frustrating when your partner doesn't share any of that; they sometimes may start to feel excluded & unappreciated & sometimes even unloved. My ex-husband had severe depression & most times he couldn't even look at me, let alone talk or be physical. The physical part of our relationship seemed to hurt him & give him pain & make him physically sick, yes, sick to his stomach! How do you think that made me feel? I think I already regret being so open but I say this in hopes that if there are others they too can know they are not alone in this area.

I hope you find your solution soon but if you do not, dont keep worrying about it, in time I am certain it will change. Our minds and bodies are going through a lot of repair, it will take time, just like our urges for a pill.

Efficacy of Sildenafil Citrate on Female Sexual Dysfunction in A Sample of Egyptian Females, A Prospective Placebo Controlled Study

Taking the suboxone strips under the tongue every day is depressing. The suboxone might take away the physical withdrawals, but I am still depressed because I have to take the strips not to be sick. I suppose I am depressed because I got my self in this position to begin with. My desire level is zero, I do not even think about engaging, afraid I will not be able to perform. I am sure men might view me as a wimp or something less then a real man but right now but I just do not care. He cannot take viagra for men because of congestive heart failure, & the injections are working for him at 70. Hormones do play a big part in our sexualityl. I had a hysterectomy at 22 & got hormone shots & wow is all I can say, but as I have aged don't find the need as much plus I got phlebitis about 3 times from the shots.

3. Downsides

Time to explore now & try different methods. Perhaps rent an explicit movie one night; have a warm bubble bath; relax with a sensual massage; share a romantic novel; act out a fantasy. Try to figure out something that you'd both benefit from & enjoy. If it doesn't work, then on to the next.. & then the next..

Research on Sildenafil Citrate for Women

Coby and liverlips and all the other responses I'm sorry but children stopped me in the middle of typing and my mind went blank I do agree with everyone. It isn't that I don't have a wonderful love life cause I do but when a women tells her doc that she can't hit hieghts like she should the dr is like well maybe you just need to not be bored. They act like women can't have the same prob as men cause the differnce in equipment. I don't think a man or women should be embaressed or feel inadequate in their relationship from this problem. And I know their is other satisfaction found in trying to achieve and making each other fufilled. Have your hormones checked & your thyroid levels too. Some of the questions on here mirror my life so its freaky..i have this problem too..been thinking about having hormone levels checked out..i here that helps lots of things..like weight ,energy, sex life..sleep.gonna check it out so let u know if its worth the effort..best wishes..litlm..take care..C50 Women should not take regular Viagra, because it is created for men's use only.

• Some studies have shown mild improvements in female sexual distress.
• The drug may help women with orgasmic disorder by increasing sensation.
• Women should report any unusual symptoms to a healthcare professional.
• Alternative treatments include counseling and hormonal therapy.

There is a medicine called Female Viagra - the first Sildenafil in the world for ladies fulfills their secret intimate desires: enhances libido or even returns need of sex drive, enhances stages of excitement throughout foreplay, advantages blood flow and engorgement of the clitoris, amplifies sexual feeling and brings more regular interest in, and pleasure of sex. I did some research on this subject and Viagra has been prescribed for over 150,000 women.

• Some women report increased genital sensitivity after sildenafil.
• Research suggests possible benefits for women with vascular sexual dysfunction.
• Its use is still controversial and not widely recommended.
• Women should evaluate risks and benefits with their doctor.

Like I said in my response both male and female need adequate blood flow to the genital areas for orgasm. Viagra does that for men and women both. You are right about their being a Viagra for women. However, Viagra is a brand name so technically there is not a "Viagra" for women but as far as the meaning associated with Viagra, there is a drug that works for women the same way Viagra works for men. As you said it's called sildenafil which is not a brand name. Sildenafil is an in-gredient in Viagra so it's basically the same medication. Now, according to what I read it works for people like many of us who are on antidepressants and can't orgasm but have the desire for sex. It will not work to help people who for psychological reasons don't have an interest or desire for sex.

7. Interactions

It was a very cold & austere period for both of us. It was also quite a learning experience for me. jaime, perhaps instead of trying for the actual act, just start little & consider it as foreplay. Hugging & touching & kissing is so great in my books! Just to have that warm human contact, skin on skin, could give you a major boost.

My Dave & I have a severely reduced sex life presently. LOL) So, sometimes other things have to be substituted instead. Enjoying the person you're with & talking & touching & laughing is so very, very sexy to me! Dave looks at me, right at me, and my face, looks deep into my eyes, with his sexy stare, as if he's looking right into me, into my body.. Small, simple gestures like that could be considered as part of my lovemaking experience right now.

Feel the warmth, the human contact, the closeness. Sit close & next to each other, touching. Ask your partner what he'd like, what liquid sildenafil citrate does he miss? It's a time for compromise & perhaps looking outside the box. What did you like to do when you were brand new lovers with each other? I just googled sildenafil so anybody else who's interested just check it out for yourself.

Thank you thank you thank you for the answer to the question I've been looking for since I've been on this new medication.

But personally I am 35 yrs old suppose to be at my prime and I don't wanna miss a thing. But honstly since I turned 30 I have had a huge decline in libido and hieghtened climax. jaime, I have read all the replies and from a male perspective I hate to admit it, I feel very similar. Oh maybe I could take a viagra but I have yet to even think about that. I think over the years taking the pain meds my testosterone level must have dropped.
