Has anyone reported sexual problems after starting lyrica?

I have been put on 150mg a day for severe anxiety (been on it for just over a month) and I can't reach climax and ejaculate. I have been told by my psychiatrist that it is a side effect of the meds and to persevere with it to see if it gets any better but it's not looking good and I'm still on the fence as to whether it's the right fir for me.

I use it for 2 days I take 150mg at night
It's make me not feeling of sex .
I spend long long long time and I can't reach ejaculation for more than 2 hrs
At the end my dick sleeping or die without ejaculation

since taking a daily 75mg dose of Pregabalin I have experienced erection and orgasm problems never before experienced and I'm finding this is causing me to have mood swings and anxiety and the really sad part is the drug is not helping to control the constant pain I have as the result of an RTA when I sustained leg and spinal injuries

I have started taking pregabalin which is same drug and I noticed the inability to climax which is frustrating.When I have masturbated and I have climaxed the feeling is gone , no feeling , its horrible yet helps with the pain. It's very upsetting .The worse thing is I'm getting increased doses every month. I found all your replies so interesting .I have systemic scleroderma other related illnesses and klinefelters. I feel everyones upset.thanks guys

Yes!!! It is frustrating to have the same issues as your question. I’ve never experienced a problem with being satisfied after sex until I started taking Lyrica, about 10 or more years ago. It isn’t difficult for my body to respond and get excited, it’s climaxing afterward that I am having problems with. I’ve never had this problem before, and I find it is quite frustrating!!! I don’t want my spouse feeling like he doesn’t excite me as that is so far from the truth!!! I don’t want to ever quit taking it as Lyrica really helps with my peripheral neuropathy in my feet and legs right up to my knees, and it helps with joint and muscle pain which the Doctors say is Fibromyalgia. I feel doomed and helpless...

I’m 6 months into taking lyrica, I am on 150mg 3x daily and I may as well forget about reaching orgasm now days! I suffer from Lupus, sjogrens, and fibromyalgia so I’m in severe pain most of the time no matter how active I am. I’m assuming the high dose is possibly the problem because I’ve never had an issue before. I see my rheumatologist next Thursday and I’m going to ask to be tapered off. It’s like I have to choose between being in pain, or having a successful sex life with my husband. I’m also experiencing depression, weight gain, and swelling in my hands

I Have been on Lyrica for 2 months 75mg twice a day. It was not helping my pain so when my Dr. doubled my dose. I went totally limp. Im 62 and still sexually active. I'm not to happy. Lyrica has to be the cause.

Sincere I've been on Lyrica I've noticed that the medicine has helped my neuropathy but on the other had it has made my sex life great just to make sure that it wasn't my imagination I went down on the medicine the urge went away, but when I got back up to a certain dosage the sexual urges became very strong. I have really felt darn good. Problem is my pain management Dr. Prescribed Lyrica who happens to be a male provider and my PCP who's female I was able to follow up with her and she suggested that I talk with the prescribing provider, how do I start that conversation?

I have been taking a small dose of Lyrica for about six weeks. 75mg twice a day. I started having issues with reaching orgasm. At first, I thought it was psychological. I went from once a day to twice a day on Lyrica because of pain. At 150mg a day, I was able to achieve orgasm for the first time in a couple weeks last night - only one way - and it just was not at all what I am used to. Very, very upsetting. Even though I have pain, I am going to stop this medications and go back in baclofen - which has no sexual side effects but makes me constipated and have a dry mouth.

I am diabetic and in my case Pregabalin actually improved my erectile dysfunction. Probably it improved nerve conductivity.

I was on Lyrica and Cymbalta for 8-9 years and I wasn’t able to have an orgasm for that whole time. I was divorced in 2013 (that problem certainly didn’t help my marriage) so I don’t know about now. I finished tapering off Lyrica in June 2017 and I hope to be tapered off Cymbalta by mid or late summer. Although I don’t have a sex life right now I am starting to get those ‘feelings’ back.
I have heard from many others; male and female; who can’t have an orgasm while on these types of drugs.
I wish the best to everyone.

I have been in pain for years I had lost interest in sex take it or leave it. I have not had the Desiree in 5 years. Day two of lyerca OMG hide the ladies, I woke up with my little buddy and that has not happened in years... I feel like a teenager not an old man. Wow ! Is anyone else finding this youthful experience? I am in my 40s and had just lost interest ... The pain dominated my life. I got my life back

I've been on lyrica for six months and have had ED the entire time. How can I solve this problem without stopping lyrica?

I've had chronic pain for 11 years now and fybro for at least 6 of them. I've been on many pain management drugs, Lyrica being one at 600mg. For the last two years I've been reducing the number of meds I take and had expected my ed to have gotten at least somewhat better but no luck. I will soon decrease my Lyrica and will know better. For now I would say for certain that it is the reason for my total ed!!!

I'm sure some people have experienced sexual dysfunction from it as all drugs can react differently with different people. I got a sample of 75mg after a herniated disc. Didn't take it until months later and I pleasantly discovered it also works as an anti-anxiety for me and the bonus was I had a stronger sex drive on it.
