Yes, a lack of desire for sex can occur after discontinuation of Pregabalin. This is due to the effects of this drug on the body.
Pregabalin is an anti-epileptic and analgesic medication that can affect libido and sexual function. Both during and after taking Pregabalin, sexual disorders may occur, including decreased libido and lack of desire for sex.
The mechanism of this side effect is not fully explained, but it may be related to the effects of Pregabalin on the nervous system and the body's hormonal balance. These symptoms may persist for several weeks after the drug is discontinued, before the body returns to balance.
However, it should be remembered that depression itself can also cause the loss of sexual needs. It is worth consulting a doctor to assess the causes and possible treatment of sexual dysfunction after discontinuation of Pregabalin. In some cases, medication or psychological therapy may be helpful. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
