In reply to Does NEURONTIN cause sexual side effects, posted by robz on October 9, 2004, at 10:43:26
> I am currently on Neurontin and EffexorXR. I started taking the neurontin so I could get off the Effexor because it was giving me such bad sex side effects. So now I am on 37.5 of the effexor and I hopefully will be it off altogether soon. I want to be off both drugs all together however I am worried that my brain is just not really back to normal yet. SO Anyway...To get to my point. Does Neurontin cause sexual side effects??????? Also has anyone tried anything NON-prescription, (hopefully natural) that will counter act these side effects??????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
> ROBZIt's interesting that you ask of natural remedies, because psychiatric journals report good success with Ginko Biloba to counter these effects.
But you're the second recent post that is complaining of side effects you haven't observed. This is really troubling me. When I don't get side effects, I don't ask others to help me with them. I'm worried about why you feel so concerned!
Did someone, like your doctor, warn you about Neurontin and sexual side effects? Because they don't happen. And even if they did, you haven't gotten them yet, so why worry already? If you worry about side effects before you get them, that's troubling to hear. You should talk to your doctor about this. It may be a sign of an obsessive thought disorder... I suffer from obsessive thoughts, but never heard of such a case before.
Talk your doc, and cut yourself some slack in the meantime!!
