> I'm beginning to think Neurontin has the same sexual side-effects as SSRI's although being a girl, I can't be entirely certain. As far as efficacy, Clonazepam is better, no question about it. But then I only take 900mg.
Else -
*Finally* I see someone else talking about sexual dysfunction from Neurontin! I'd seen some people post that it can *help*, but hadn't seen anything on the reverse side. Now I can show my pdoc that I'm not the "only" one who has encountered that effect. I was at about 3200 mg/day when it started and I was really surprised. That's one of the reasons I cut short my trial of Neurontin + Klonopin (kept the Klonopin). I wasn't expecting to have to deal with that kind of side effect at all, as I had to with Nardil and later Celexa.
That said, unless people just aren't talking about it or I've missed it, my guess is that sexual dysfunction with even high-dose Neurontin is more the exception than the rule.
