In a small study, researchers at Rutgers University found that gabapentin improved sexual desire, arousal and satisfaction in 89 women with provoked vulvodynia, a chronic condition characterized by stinging, burning and itching at the entry to the vagina. Low-dose gabapentin may result in marked sexual dysfunction, including loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, and anorgasmia. Such sexual dysfunction may lead to medication noncompliance. But they’re possible and include decreased sex drive (libido) and trouble getting or keeping erections (erectile dysfunction).

Few cases were reported with sexual dysfunctions (SDs) as adverse effects of PGB and gabapentin, and the majority were dose related (≥900 mg/d for gabapentin). This report addresses dose-dependent gabapentin-induced sexual dysfunction reaching total sexual dysfunction (loss of libido, anejaculation, anorgasmia, and impotence) at a total daily dose of only 300 mg. As a result of taking gabapentin, it’s possible for a few different sexual health issues to arise. Some older men have lost the ability to orgasm while taking this prescription medication. While this severe symptom is a pretty rare occurrence, a much more common side effect is erectile dysfunction. Gabapentin was added to treat his social anxiety and was slowly titrated. After 1 week on gabapentin 100 mg every night, the patient did not notice any sexual dysfunction; however, after 3 weeks on gabapentin 200 mg every night, the patient noted a moderate decrease in sexual function. Though libido was normal, he required longer foreplay to ache and prevention of migraine. Few cases were reported with sexual dysfunctions (SDs) as adverse effects of PGB and gabapentin, and the majority were dose related (≥900 mg/d for gabapentin). This study aimed to determine the frequency and types of SDs induced by PGB and the temporal relation to its use. Methods We presented case series of patients (n = 75) treated with PGB for different Gabapentin is marketed under the brand names Neurontin®, Gralise® and Horizant®. All three medications and the generic version effectively do the same things.

Low-dose gabapentin may result in marked sexual dysfunction, including loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, and anorgasmia. Such sexual dysfunction may lead to medication noncompliance. Gabapentin, frequently used off-label to treat psychiatric and pain disorders, has previously been reported to cause sexual dysfunction at a minimum total daily dose of 900 mg. This report addresses dose-dependent gabapentin-induced sexual dysfunction reaching total sexual dysfunction (loss of libido, anejaculation, Indeed, their psychiatric patient experienced loss of libido, anejaculation/anorgasmia, and erectile dysfunction when treated with gabapentin (GBP) at a daily dose of 300 mg, demonstrating how even very low doses of new antiepileptic drugs can cause SD in predisposed individuals. Abstract Background: Sexual dysfunction is common in women with vulvodynia. Objective: 1. To evaluate whether extended-release gabapentin is more effective than placebo in improving sexual function in women with provoked vulvodynia, and if there is a relationship between treatment outcome and pelvic pain muscle severity evaluated by palpation with standardized applied pressure. While taking 300 mg of gabapentin 3 times per day, he noticed orgasm was more difficult to attain. Neither libido nor erection was affected.
