In reply to hypomania/neurontin/sexual side effects?, posted by bissie66 on July 8, 2006, at 19:13:14
> i am having a weird problem. i thought it was from the adderall i was taking (for depression) which sent me into mania. i felt *constantly* sexually aroused (to the point it was really annoying) and felt on the verge of orgasm all the time but when i actually tried, it took longer than normal to achieve. i stopped taking it eventually and me pdoc put me on neurontin bc it had worked before. it is working well but surprisingly i feel myself rising again into hypo or plain old mania. the arousal is there again much to my surprise! and the same annoying problem of not being able to 'take care' of it quickly or easily. i was sure it was the adderall. is it the mania or the drugs?? has anyone experienced anything like this?
Im sorry no one was able to address your post,i can post what i believe having used it and read on Nuerontion a lot before accepting to use it,this was a while ago when it was still pretty new.
Nuerontion for some,at times does deprendant,can cause a mix of a maniac Euphoria,including sexual arousal among a annoying type of social enhancment....example,talking fast
talking a lot
talking to everyone
talking and acting strangly,noticably most to family who see a differeanceThis type of mania on the surface might feel and seem good,but usualy it resambles a bi polar maniac phase,i knowi mistakenly thought it was a good thing,not noticing i was having trouble sleeping,wasnt doing anything productive,spent hours talking to people,and really noticed it when trying to sleep.
There is also a come down on this which stunk.
This reaction has happened to people,many,and it also seems more likly on a specific dose that may not be right for the user,as well as very dependant on the medication its accompanying.
It also for some does the exact opposite,personaly if i had a opinion id recomend adjusting the dose with ur doc,working on a more precise dose,as well as adding a benzo with it,also taking it alone and not at the same time,or within a hour before or after a med is taken along it.
Klonopin seems to have the best synergy with neurontion when it comes to qwelling a nuerontion maniac phase,its hard cause the wrong drug,even a sedative,can cause the phase to worsen until u finaly chrash.
Nuerontion is claimed as a light weight,but at certain doses,for certain people,it can have a very real effect,good luck!!!!!!!
