Was Doing OK Then . . . No Go

Postby Stew52 » Tue Jan 02, 2024 6:03 pm

I was doing very good with 0.50 ml of 80 mcg/ml PGE injections then - bam - it started not working so well. Neurologist had put my on 1200mg/dy gabapentin, 16mg tizanidine (muscle relaxer) and some Celebrex for PN and radiated pain into my legs from my lumbar back issues (radiculopathy).

Comments here are mixed on gaba impacts and could find nothing on muscle relaxers. Yes, NSAID's impact orgasm but I already have bad anorgasmia.

TIA for insights, B

I'd be concerned about all three drugs. Plus I think all three are not friends of your liver.

It doesn't sound like its the injections not working all of a sudden but the other combination of medications messing with your system.

Sorry for the sudden no go. Any drug has some sort of side effect. Unfortunately, it sounds like your doc put you on some meds that affect more than they fix. Talk to the doc and see if there are other meds with fewer side effects.

Yea, gabapentin "less common" side effect is "inability to have or keep an erection". Have tried Cymbalta and Lyrica already which had worse side-effects for me. SO time to wane off gaba and see just how bad the legs and PN hurts. Ugh.

Stew: Years ago, before old age anorgasmia set in, I took gabapentin at a lower dose than you and it caused severe anorgasmia, which disappeared when I went off it. Maybe you can schedule sex days and go off it maybe 48 hours ahead.

The gaba had no effect on my sildenafil erection.
