Sexual Side Effects?

I am taking five 10/325 Percocet per day and 1800 mg of Neurontin per day. I am taking the drugs for chronic lower back pain. Since I started taking them I have been having a very hard time getting arroused, and when I do I can't stay arroused. I am not talking about desire, rather the ability to perform...

Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? If so, what was done to correct the problem?

Thanks.

DC

Re: Sexual Side Effects?

Hi DC, welcome. I can't speak to Neurontin affecting you, as I've literally just started taking it 2 days ago, and starting at only 300mgs/day.

But I've had to take several different opiate meds in the last 3 years, Percocet included, though now I'm on Methadone. In my experience (and this would be to the greatest effect now on the Meth, though I've dealt w/it on other opiates), I didn't have so much of a physical problem getting aroused, as I did of "finishing the act" itself, as I've talked about on this board before (if you can find it via Search, it ended up being a long thread - just look for threads I started). That I pretty much still have all of the sensation, and am able to stay aroused fully, but it usually takes FOREVER to complete, to find my happy ending I'm sure it's because the particular nerves involved are being very suppressed. On one hand it's good because it basically feels good the whole time, but as you can imagine it's an extremely tiring experience all together. As I've joked previously, the big plus is that you'd be a real hit with the ladies, because they always seem to want a man who can go all night (though who wouldn't?..... well, I mean, not ME.... I'd want a WOMAN who could go all night of course... being a man, myself..... I, uh..... oh, you know what I mean!! )

Anyway, sorry to off on a bit there. Bottom line, I'm sorry to say is, to my knowledge there's nothing you really can do. It just comes w/the territory. Some people don't even feel their libido cooking, much less actually physically being able to get it up. I don't know, unless I'm missing something (wouldn't be surprised then hopefully someone else will be along with some info. Good luck

Re: Sexual Side Effects?

Thanks, tyler7. I should probably suck it up and ask my pain management doc about the problem.

Maybe Viagra would be an option?

Anyway, thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply. I appreciate it.

DC
