I am in a relationship with a man who has
just quit taking opiates (three weeks
now).l He had been on some form of opiates
for six years. Is impotence a side effect
suffered during the withdrawl process even
though most other symptoms of withdrawl
have disapeared? Or should I be worried
about hus feelngs toward me?

I would have thought impotence would be
more of a direct result of opiates, seeing
as they weaken the urine stream, not a
result of opiate withdrawal. But who
knows? Maybe it takes a number of weeks
for things to begin operating normally
after cessation of use.
As far as I'm aware, besides overcoming
withdrawal, there shouldn't be any major
side effects to opiate use.
