I have been on Percocet for my back for 6 months now. Well, I can get an erection no problem, I can go up to 1/2 hour, but I have trouble ejaculating and give up and Mr. Happy goes southbound. I have tried viagra, but I am only 29 and it makes my heart pound like a racehorse. I also tried "horny-goat weed" kinda works but makes my stomach upset. Any suggestions?

Viagra scares me, makes my face flush and, like you, my heart pound. Very uncomfortable with the side effects.
There are new alternatives which I have not tried, I think one is called Cialis, which supposedly last for 24 hours. So I would imagine the intense effects of the Viagra might not obtain. Anybody tried it yet?

I'm a woman, but I can tell you that acheiving orgasm while I've been on methadone takes A LOT of work. I attribute this to the all-over semi-numbness I get from the drug. Unfortunately, this also affects the sexual zones, too.
I've found supplements and medications only slightly enhance the ability to acheive orgasm easier. My best method of keeping my sex life intact is to take my medication earlier if we think we might want to have sex later that night. I know that "penciling in" sex can cut down on the spontanaeity, but desperate times call for desperate measures!
Try not taking your Percocet soon before intercourse (or masturbation) and give the last pill about 3 hours before you do it. It may really help!

I find that I cannot even take hydro on the day of a big event...with hydro or carisoprodal in my system (either exclusive of each other, or a combination of), makes the director yell "CUT!"

My husband told me something about a "penis ring" - don't know much about it but here is a link where you can check it out. I'm sure you can do a Google or Dogpile search and find many. Best of luck!

Hmmmm....things that seem to make me "go quicker" have been Wellbutrin and Yohimbine HCL. Yohimbine is used in some weight loss drugs and can be bought alone at some places I think....it seemed to cause me to often become spontaneously aroused. As for Wellbutrin, I don't know if its safe to take an antidepressant if you are not suffering from depression....but I found that it increased my sex drive and made me "get there" much quicker....

For the original poster, you are taking percocet for 6 months and can get an erection but the problem is you can't come?
If you can get an erection then you don't need viagra. For male anorgasmaia (sp) you may with to look into a possible lower level of testosterone (serum and free levels) as narcotik (intentional sp) meds can lower test levels you may also wish to look into niacin (a B-complex vitamin)
Also, if you are 29 with no previous history of erectile problems you should check what dose of viag you are using, in a normal man your age 25 mg should work quite well a dose of 50-100 mg may cause that "rushing felling". In my experience a young person (18-33) without diabetes, blood pressure probs, cardiac probs or overweight and with a normal hormone profile can do very well on a viag dose of 25 mg (just don't buy them as 25 mg buy them bigger and split them with a SHARP knife).
Cialis and the new Levitra are related to Viag and work in almost the same way. Cialis may be milder/last longer but I am uncertain if it is currently in use in North America.
Yohimbine has been in use for quite some time and it's mechanism of action is uncertain it may act as an alpa andrenergic receptor and have a stimulant property in the brain. Jury is still out on this one but some people have reported their good results.
Finally there is Uprima. I think it may be in use in the U.S. by now. It is different than all of the above and may be of use. I like the studies on it but I don't have any feedback.
To find good info on the above try a Google search "Cialis" + "Monograph" or "Uprima" + "prescribing information" or combinations.
Hope this helps.

I agree with SkyQueen, my hubby and I have used the penis ring and it works! It actually enhances his orgasm. Try any adult toy store and you'll find one of these gadgets.

Wanted to report that my PCP gave me two six-pack Viagra samples with my annual physical. That stuff absolutely rocks.

penis rings or 'c0ck rings' as they are known in toystores are different from a penis pump. they cum in a variety of styles with straps, snaps, or buckles ~ decorative or plain. some are just stretchy latex rings that fit around the base of the whole package. all of them basically work by trapping the bloodflow in your manhood. i recommend giving that a shot.
Opie... i agree that Carisprodol is a real 'downer' when it cums to maintaining an erection. however, i have had no problems when using hydro in moderate prescribed doses... if anything it may make you last a bit longer because of the numbness effect that hydro genarally gives ~ side effect.
it also could be that your partner is not pulling his or her weight in the sack ??? physical attraction to them, etc. there are no doubt a lot of variables. if it is not a problem while masturbating, chances are it is more mental than an actual physical problem.
hope this info helps! louis

Kitty - thanks for the explanation about the penis rings - I don't consider myself naive by any stretch but I had no clue what they do!
From a woman's perspective - I can say that for me - the narcotics make orgasm much more difficult to achieve. EVERYTHING has to be right (and we all know how often THAT happens!). But - one plus side - when orgasm is achieved - it is INTENSE!
Someone posted that perhaps it is not a problem with your med - but with your partner. If he/she is not taking the time to take the time -maybe that is the problem?
Good luck to you - I know how frustrating this can be!

This is a long (no pun intended) topic but an interesting article.
14 Secrets for Success
Sure it's a night you'll remember. For all the wrong reasons.
It had been a hectic week. You'd been working hard on that proposal, and never once made it home before midnight. Tonight, you were going to make it up to your wife.
You brought roses. She uncorked your favorite wine. After dinner, when you took the phone off the hook, she slipped behind you, kissing your neck in that way of hers that always drives you crazy. Everything seemed to unfold according to plan.
Everything, that is, except a certain part of your anatomy. A certain crucial part.
And that left you to wonder: What in tarnation is going on? Is this going to happen the next time? What the heck can I do about it?
Plenty. Realize, first, that you're not the only man in the world who's had this happen. "If men are honest, every one of them will tell you they've sustained an impotence episode at one time in their lives," says Neil Baum, M.D., director of the New Orleans chapter of the Male Infertility Clinic and an assistant professor of urology at Tulane University School of Medicine. "Not every incident is a ten."
"It can be devastating when it occurs," he says. "A man's whole concept of his masculinity may be undermined."
Experts say an estimated ten million men suffer from impotence, the term used when a man is unable to achieve and maintain penetration until he ejaculates.
Until the early 1970s, experts thought that most erection problems pointed to underlying problems in the psyche. Today, the medical community recognizes that almost half of all impotent men have a physical or structural problem that's at least partly responsible.
What can you do to keep erection problems at bay? Here's what our experts advise.
Give yourself time. "As a man gets older, it may take a longer period of genital stimulation to get an erection," says Dr. Baum. "For men aged 18 to 20, an erection may take a few seconds. In your thirties and forties, maybe a minute or two. But if a 60-year-old doesn't get an erection after a minute or two, that doesn't mean he's impotent. It just takes longer."
The time period between ejaculation and your next erection also tends to increase with age. In some men aged 60 to 70, it may take a whole day or longer to regain an erection. "It's a normal consequence of aging," says Dr. Baum.
Consider your medication. Drugs your doctor has prescribed might be at the root of the problem. Or it might be those over-the-counter antihistamines, diuretics, or sedatives you're using. Realize, of course, that what affects your neighbor may have no effect on you.
More than 200 drugs have been identified as problematic. Drug-induced impotence is most common in men over 50, says Dr. Baum. In fact, in an American Medical Journal study of 188 men, drugs were the problem 25 percent of the time.
If you suspect your medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist. He may be able to change the dosage or switch you to a different drug. Do not, however, attempt to do this on your own.
Beware of recreational drugs. Troublemakers that Richard E. Berger, M.D., a urologist with Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, lists in his book BioPotency: A Guide to Sexual Success, include cocaine, marijuana, opiates, heroin, morphine, amphetamines, and barbiturates.
Go easy on the alcohol. Shakespeare hit it on the head when he said in MacBeth that alcohol provokes desire but it takes away the performance. That happens because alcohol is a nervous-system depressant. It inhibits your reflexes, creating a state that's the opposite of arousal, says Dr. Berger. Even two drinks during cocktail hour can be a cause for concern, he says.
Over time, too much alcohol can cause hormonal imbalances.
"Chronic alcohol abuse can cause nerve and liver damage," says Dr. Baum. "When you have liver damage, you cause a dynamic where the man has an excess amount of female hormones in his body." You need to have the right proportion of testosterone for everything to work properly.
Know that what's good for the arteries is good for the penis. "In the last five years, it's become quite evident that the penis is a vascular organ," says Irwin Goldstein, M.D., co-director of the New England Male Reproductive Center at Boston University Medical Center in Massachusetts. The very things that clog your arteriesdietary cholesterol and saturated fatalso affect blood flow to the penis. In fact, says Dr. Goldstein, all men over age 38 have some narrowing of the arteries to the penis.
So watch what you eat. "High cholesterol is probably one of the leading causes of impotence in this country," says Dr. Goldstein. "It appears to affect erectile tissue."
Don't smoke. Studies show that nicotine can be a blood vessel constrictor, says Dr. Baum. A study of healthy adult mongrel dogs at the University of California at San Francisco showed that the inhalation of smoke from just two cigarettes was enough to prevent five dogs from getting a full erection and a sixth dog from maintaining one. The researchers believe that inhalation of cigarette smoke blocks erection by inhibiting the smooth muscle relaxation of the erectile tissue.
Do what you need to feel good about your body. Are you thinking about taking off a few pounds? Studying karate? Starting a weight-training program? Do it. "Sex is body contact," says James Goldberg, Ph.D., research director of San Diego's Crenshaw Clinic in California. "The more a person feels good about his body, the better he'll feel going into the event."
Don't overdo it on the exercise. If you exercise excessively, you'll stimulate the body's natural opiates, the endorphins. "We're not sure how they work, but they tend to lessen sensation," says Dr. Goldberg. "Over the short run, exercise is good for you. Beyond a certain point, though, the body gets into the habit of protecting itself."
Wait out pain. Your body also produces its own opiates when you're in pain, says Dr. Goldberg. These opiates can turn off any sexual stimuli. "There's not much you can do," he says, except wait for a better time.
Relax. Being in a relaxed frame of mind is crucial. Here's why. Your nervous system operates in two modes. When the sympathetic nerve network is dominant, your body is literally "on alert." Adrenal hormones prepare you to fight or take flight. Nerves shuttle your blood away from your digestive system and penis and into your muscles.
You can turn on your sympathetic nervous system just by being too anxious, says Dr. Baum. "For some men, the fear of failure is so overwhelming that it floods the body with norepinephrine, an adrenal hormone. That's the opposite of what you need to have an erection."
The key here is to relax and let your parasympathetic nervous system take over. Signals that travel along this network will direct the arteries and sinuses of the penis to expand and let more blood flow in.
Avoid whole-body stimulants. That means caffeine and certain questionable substances touted as potency enhancers. "The main thing during sex is to be relaxed," says Dr. Goldberg. "Stimulants tend to have an overall effect. They constrict the smooth muscle that must dilate before an erection can occur."
Refocus your attention. One way to relax is to focus with your partner on the more sensual aspects of intimacy. Play with and enjoy each other without worrying about that erection.
"The skin is the largest sexual organ in the body," says Dr. Goldberg, "not the penis. So don't be led by your penis. The whole body has to react."
Plan ahead. Dr. Berger thinks it is a good idea to decide in advance what you'll do if you don't get an erection. "What are your alternatives?" If you're not so focused on the erection itself, it will make it easier for the erection to come back, he says.
Talk to your partner. Don't risk increasing the tension in the bedroom by maintaining a sullen silence. Together, you can play detective and figure out what's going on. Pressure at work? Strain over a child's illness. A touchy issue you two haven't resolved yet?
"If you understand some of the things that can cause impotence, you can find a way to explain it without attributing it to something that's not there," says Dr. Berger. "And you should talk about what your alternatives are. Will you continue your lovemaking in a different way? Don't let the erection, or lack of it, interfere with your intimacy."
