A member asked:

Do men have erection and ejculatory problems while taking gabapentin 300mg or higher?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, they can.: Gabapentin is a neuromodulator that can slow the sensation of ejaculation to the point of causing delayed ejaculation or making it hard to ejaculate at all (anejaculation). Typically this problem is reversible when the medication is stopped.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
