Such sexual dysfunction may lead to medication noncompliance. Patients often do not volunteer information regarding sexual dysfunction, and therefore, targeted questions are necessary. Further education of health care professionals regarding gabapentin-induced sexual dysfunction is required. Researchers have found that men taking gabapentin (trade name Neurontin) -- a medication commonly used to treat neuropathic pain, seizures and bipolar disease in older and elderly patients -- 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. 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. Sexual side effects from gabapentin aren’t common. But they’re possible and include decreased sex drive (libido) and trouble getting or keeping erections (erectile dysfunction). If you’re taking gabapentin and experiencing sexual problems, talk with your prescriber. The good news? Currently, no scientific evidence suggests that gabapentin causes permanent sexual dysfunction. That said, in most cases of gabapentin-induced anorgasmia (delayed ejaculation or inability to orgasm), you’ll need to stop using the medication to return to normal sexual function. Sexual dysfunction is a key adverse effect leading to medication noncompliance. Psychotropic drugs associated with sexual dysfunction include antiepileptic drugs, antidepressants, and antipsychotics. 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 900mg. This report 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, It also has off-label uses for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorders, fibromyalgia, and tension headache 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). Gabapentin is widely prescribed for such symptoms as restless legs, hot flashes, and nerve tingling; based on this study’s results, a clinician should think twice about prescribing this medication to women in their child-bearing years, since it has been shown to decrease free estrogen. If you have noticed ED after beginning gabapentin, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider. You may be able to improve your sexual function by switching medication, adjusting your dosage, or beginning to take a PDE5 inhibitor, which can improve erections. 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. Indeed, their psychiatric patient experienced loss of libido, anejaculation/anorgasmia, and erectile dysfunction when treated with gabapentin (GBP) at a daily dose of 300mg, demonstrating how even very low doses of new antiepileptic drugs can cause SD in predisposed individuals. Gabapentin helps me sleep, I take 800mg at night. It has seriously affected increased my libido and has become a problem. I am a 55 year old female who still has regular periods, and both ovaries, but I need to have a decreased libido and try something different for sleep. The mechanism of action of gabapentin is unknown, and the effects on ejaculation or other aspects of sexual function are also unknown. As gabapentin becomes more commonly used in psychiatric practice, the frequency of this adverse effect may become more apparent.

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. One specific study conducted by Rutgers University found that gabapentin can actually reduce painful sex during intercourse and increase sexual desire in women. 1 Women in the study were diagnosed with provoked vulvodynia, which is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by stinging, burning, irritation, or itching during penetrative sex. 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 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.
