A member asked:

I'm finding it quite difficult to reach orgasm recently. could this be linked to the gabapentin i started taking several weeks ago?

Orgasm: If you had no troubles prior to starting neurontin (gabapentin), (gabapentin) then your orgasm issues are more likely related to neurontin (gabapentin).
