I stand corrected.

Sexual dysfunction IS listed as a " infrequent " side effect of

Neurontin.

It was buried there among a blizzard of other symptoms, both great

and small (and this is supposed to be a fairly innocuous drug ! I

would hate to see the list for a drug that DID have a lot of side

effects!)
