Hello

I read your statement and i understand your concern about ED

The drugs u take, only statins dont cause ED, while other do cause

Gabapentin: May cause impotence when taken for long duration
Oxycodone: an opoid that depressive action and cause temperory ED

If i were you physician, i would have changes your medication from oxycodoe-acetaminophen to strong NSAID such naproxin 500 two times a day and would have stopped Gabapentin

Thanks
