Erectile dysfunction from meth permanent?
This question is for anybody who
think they have an answer. Is the erectile dysfunction from meth
use permanent or does it go away after going sober for awhile??
Any help with this question would be greatly apreciated. |

Re: Erectile dysfunction from meth permanent?
Johno, my experience is it does
go away after some sober time.
Now I can't speak for long long term heavy use - but I can speak
for a man in his 40's that used 1/2 gram a week thereabouts for
3 years.
Maybe some of the others will know more. |

Re: Erectile dysfunction from meth permanent?
That would depend on if the
dysfunction is caused by permanent damage such as damage to
blood vessels or temporary damage such as low dopamine levels in
the brain. Meth can cause both kinds of damage. |

Clean time will do wonders for
restoring "Mr. Happy" and his ability to rise to the occasion.
Yes.
Most of the time the condition is temporary. |

Re: Erectile dysfunction from meth permanent?
Yes Johno, it bothered my
husband as well.
Really hit where he was vulnerable and it worried him as well.
Getting clean and staying clean did fix it though.
Try it and see- then if not improved, see a doctor.
What other problems are bugging you out?
If you are looking for help, you have come to a good place.
Are you clean now? Or wanting to be?
Stick around Johno, and ask away. Chances are someone will know
the answer.
Good to have you on board. |

Re: Erectile dysfunction from meth permanent?
Im trying to get clean but that
@#%$ is everywhere. I always seem to do meth when ive had a
couple of drinks and a buddy offers me some to "wake up". Im
tired of it already though. Ready to quit. |

Re: Erectile dysfunction from meth permanent?
Yes, it is everywhere- it would
be so nice just to wave a magic wand and make it all go away
Doesn't work that way though.
So you say you are weakest when you have a few drinks?
That is often the case.
The best way to fix that is not drink- find another activity to
do.
I know, easier said than done but hey! Got to begin somewhere.
That will do for a start.
Try just for today- make a commitment just for today I will not
use.
There is another good starting point.
Johno, it won't be easy but it can be done and it is being done
every day. We are all proof of that.
Want to start a new thread introducing yourself?
Welcome aboard again Johno- you have lots of support and good
advice to be had here.
Good to see you.
Just for today I will not use- start there.Just one day at a
time. |

Actually once you reach the
stage in your meth usage that you experience erectile
dysfunction ... if you dont get sober and stay sober ... there
is a good chance it may never ever ever ever work again. it'll
just sit there ... and sit there and sit there ... and dang it
... get sober .... so it can finally STAND for Something !!!! |
