Hi and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have read your question and here is my advice.
Lyrica and most of the drugs of this group (called SSRI) are very effective drugs, but sexual problems are a well recognized side effect of this drug.So yes probably this is the drug causing it. You can discus with your doctor if the problem is really bothering you as we have some other options that may be better in this regards.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
