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. These two cases indicate that gabapentin-induced sexual dysfunction can occur in women. Furthermore, unlike the cases reported in men (1 – 4), decreased libido may be a symptom. Gabapentin-induced sexual dysfunction may be dose related and effectively treated by decreasing the dose or adjusting the dose regimen to maximize the time interval between drug ingestion and sexual activity.

Although the authors describe a single case, it adds important information on SD related to new antiepileptic drugs. To evaluate safety and efficacy of gabapentin in management of psychosexual symptoms in postmenopausal women. Fifty symptomatic postmenopausal females were randomly allocated into two groups; Group I received gabapentin 900 mg/day along with calcium I started gabapentin roughly 5 weeks ago and for the first time in my life, I haven't been able to orgasm at all, not only that but my libido has plummeted and I essentially feel numb down there. Abstract Objectives: Pregabalin (PGB) is a gabapentinoid (ie, GABA analog), which has been Food and Drug Administration-approved for treatment of partial epilepsy in adults and neuropathic pain. 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 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. Erectile dysfunction is a known side effect of gabapentin, a common anti-epileptic. This is what you need to know about gabapentin and ED. What Effects Does Gabapentin Have On Sexual Health?

Vulvar pain often occurs during intercourse, which leads to loss of interest in sex. The improvements in desire, arousal and sexual GABAGoodness is devoted to the discussion of all GABAergics, Gabapentnoids and VDCC inhibitors such as Pregabalin, Gabapentin, Phenibut, Carisoprodol, GHB, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, and more! 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 300mg. Conclusion Gabapentin improved sexual function in this group of women with provoked vulvodynia, although overall sexual function remained lower than women without the disorder. The most statistically significant increase was in the arousal domain of the Female Sexual Function Index that suggested a central mechanism of response. 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 Does Gabapentin Affect Libido? Yes, it can impact desire. Understanding Gabapentin Gabapentin, a medication primarily used to treat seizures and neuropathic pain, has garnered attention for its potential side effects.
