my partner gets an erection then goes limb, he's prescribed Gabapentin for back pain and was on a low dose he didnt have a problem with an erection then. he is on a higher dose now and finds it difficult with this and he's really worried it could affect our relationship. I was worried at first that it could be me, when I knew what the problem was I became to understand and told my partner not to worry. Gabapentin says the side affects can cause impotence, I need to know more about it. then I can discuss it with my partner.

Impotence has been described as a possible side effect so your partner should let the prescribing doctor know this has occured and see if it can be addressed by switching to another medication.

Answer This
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his or his partner's sexual needs.
