Can Benadryl and gabapentin cause erectile dysfunction?

[george]

I have been taking Gabapentin (neurontin) for over 6 months with very few side effects. It works very good for taking care of mild joint and muscle pain. It's better than taking narcotic drugs, or otc drugs like Tylenol which doesn't help much. ED can be caused by so many different things for each individual. Check with your doctor, because nobody needs to live with ED. Like I said Gabapentin hasn't affected me for ED, but I do have an implant. What I should say is, it hasn't affected my desire which a lot of drugs can do, and have caused ED for me in the past. I don't take Bemadryl because of BPH, but it is a good medication which some nasty side effects.
