Gabapentin Question

Was anyone told about the sexual side effects of Gaba? I was reading a medical

journal and it stated that gabapentin will cause you to loose your libedo - meaning

that you will not have any interest in sex. I checked out some other publications

that said the same thing.

Nope. never didi. I was late to that class.

Brett, why do you think that no one replied to

this post except me? I know what you were trying

to say last week but it's the way that you said it.

If I was you, I would hold back or apologize to them.

No problem here. The anti-depressants seem to be more trouble than the GABA.

Not what you're looking for?
