Hi lybrate-user
you are experiencing erectile dysfunction as an adverse effect of the medicines you are consuming for slip disc. There is no vitamin or mineral which can reverse the ed caused by a drug. I would request you to consult your orthopedician or neurologist to suggest you some pill which can help you in getting the erection better, other option is surgical correction (?discectomy) of the slip disc and get rid of the medicines.
I wish you get well soon!
A group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.
In muscular dystrophies, abnormal genes (mutations) lead to muscle degeneration.
In most cases, muscular dystrophy (md) runs in families. It usually develops after inheriting a faulty gene from one or both parents. Md is caused by mutations (alterations) in the genes responsible for healthy muscle structure and function.
The signs and symptoms consistent with muscular dystrophy are:[3]
progressive muscular wasting
poor balance
scoliosis (curvature of the spine and the back)
progressive inability to walk
waddling gait
calf deformation
limited range of movement
respiratory difficulty
cardiomyopathy muscle spasms

Dizziness is a common side effect of gabapentin and nortryptilin.
Please consult your doctor regarding restarting only gabapentin at minimal doses e.g. 100 mg od and gradually increase when tolerated.
You can take gabapentin nt if your pain is severe. Otherwise other painkillers will be enough and you have to bear the drowsiness. Seizures and rls are very rare side effects of gabapentin nt. So don't worry. Also if your pain doesn't decrease you should show it to sport medicine specialist.
