I noticed a definite decline in sex drive and some
function with neurotin. I thought I was the only
one too. I also experienced weight gain, which seems
to be a rare side effect. I had sexual dysfuntion
with the prozac I take, but I definitely felt it
get worse when I added the neurotin. I didn't notice
it until I got to a higher dose. I started noticing
it at 1200 mg's. I'm up to 2100 mg's now, but I'm
soon switching to lamictal, and hopefully won't have
the weight gain or sexual dysfunction. I'm not extremely
hopeful, however, b/c I just get a gut sense (not an
educated sense) that all mood stabilizers have weight
gain. With the exception of topomax, which dosen't seem
to have as much of the antianxiety effects of the others.
But what do I know?
