Hi! I was on prescription pain medication (fentanyl patch, oxycodone, etc) for about 3 years and zubsolv (suboxone) for 2 years. I tapered down from 5 mg to 1/2 mg of the zubsolv over a 3 month period. I quit completely on 5/30/16. I ll always remember that date! I was diagnosed with ADD (along with the rest of the world, I know) in feb 2016 and started adderall. The adderall helped very much with, well...with accomplishing everything; not perfection, but my family noticed a big difference as well. Anyway, I take the adderall everyday, 25mg XR and 20-30 mg immediate release (prn). I ve been clean from any opiate since 5/30/16. I m having extreme pervasive sexual arousal disorder symptoms and I ve never had them before. It s now painful and impossible to relieve. I have a history of pelvic floor, endometriosis, cysts, fibroids, and GI issues/thyroid storm. I ve had a full hysterectomy with no issues in over a year. Could withdrawal symptoms be part of this still? I can t get any relief. Today I almost missed a job interview because I was so aroused I couldn t focus; not even aroused, but my sexual organs have taken control. I can t sleep and NO amount of intercourse with my husband or self-stimulation helps. I ve even put lidocaine on my sexual organs. I ve self-stimulated at least 8 times a day for a week and it was close to 100 a day during the first week or two after stopping the zubsolv. Have I caused inflammation and I need to leave it alone? Is this part of withdrawal or adderall meds? Or is this a real thing unrelated to withdrawal? I ve read opiate withdrawal can cause hyper sexuality, but this is getting to be extreme. Thank you
