Gabapentin - sexual sensitivity unable to orgasm?

I had no withdrawl's. I had blood drawn at my regular Dr.but I don't know if they checked testerorne.

Hi again,
Let me get one of the great guys on this site to help you, OK swann?
I am no expert on mens health!!! I will PM a friend to help you.

Male help should be on the way, as soon as he is off work.
Sorry I could not be of help.

Thank's sweetlemon

OK swann,
I spoke to a friend, and he said that ejaculation problems are very common when taking Neurontin.
Please go to this site for more info;

I went to the site you recomended. It sounds like neurontin is causing my problem. I think I need to get of this med before I start having erection problems. Thank's again Sweetlemon TB

Hi again swann,
so sorry I could not have helped more. I agree that Neurontin may be your problem. Good luck!!!

errrrrr, swann what does TB mean?

I just wanted to chime in and thank you two - swann for asking the question I was looking for an answer to, and sweetlemon for knowing what the answer was. I've been on gabapentin for a little over 2 years now (2400 mg x day at the moment, my spine specialist bumped it up from 2100mg about 4 mos. ago) and I've been having the same problem for almost a year. At least I'm not alone - I was beginning to fear it was mental, I couldn't find anything listing "inability to ejaculate or orgasm" as a side effect.

Thank you both again!

Hi Gemini,
Sorry, but I had to shorten your username, couldn't remember it when I went to post this.
I've found out that many men have this problem with this med. You are not alone. You might want to post your own question about this problem.
For some reason Swann's question did not get many responses, which is odd. There are many great guys on this site, and they would be more than happy to help you.
Best wishes to you,
sweetlemon

I haven't checked comments sorry
I went to the doctor they and said men did have this problem .About two percent of us. I did stop taking it myself . I stopped it over one week. I guess I should have ask doctor before I did. My problem did go away!

Hi again swann!!
So glad you posted! I am very happy that your problem is now gone. But you went off your med without telling your doc? How is your pain?
Update us on your progress... um, not "personal progress"... just on how you are doing. God, how embarrassing. 'Tis too early for this girl !!

I still have pain from burn. I went to doctor UNC Burn Center doctor Gave me RX for Lyrica I havent had it filled yet.

swann,
Hope you feel better on Lyrica. It made me feel quite stoned, as if I smoked a big fatty all by myself. This side effect does go away eventually though.
Best wishes,
Lara

I have taken my first pill. I went to bed a I am up now I did feel a little light headed. I will post again after a few days. They started me on 50 mg three times a day and said call if this wasn't working and they would increase it. I read side effects and it said you can have change in sexual function what ever that means.

Helloooooo again swann,
It probably means the same results as the Neurontin or was it Lyrica, durrrrr, I am sleep deprived so I can't recall which one you were on first!!!
I am going to add you as a friend, and we can talk about this in private if you prefer. Although like I wrote before I am no expert at mens health!

I am suprised you are up at this time of morning.

swann,
Insomnia. And I am surprised that you are awake at this time as well.
We insomniacs trawl the site in the wee hours!
Do you live in the USA? (if you don't mind me asking)

Yes I live in North Carolina. I think I have added you to my friends list. I will need to figure out how to use it

Howdy, I have had the same problem with orgasims. Had a severe kite boarding accident and fractured all kinds of body bones. Taking 600MG per day. Am intererested in how th e Lycria works

Hi jniem51,
You might want to post a question of your own for more help about your problem.
Best wishes to you,

i am 52 yr old male taking 1800 mg daily Neurontin for tinnitus. went to urologist and said could get it up but could not climax. he made light of it and told me to see a shrink. went to another urologist affialiated w/ a university who immediately labled Neurontin the culprit. I am going off and hope to orgasm soon

I am on 300 mg 3 times a day. The only side effect I think I have is gaining weight. I am on other mess too so it could be them too but no other issues.

600mg daily in 200mg doses 3times a day
