Unhappy sex and epilepsy?

I am currently on dilatin (for 2 months), and i have noticed that i still have the urge for sex, its just that another body part is not agreeing. Has anyone had this problem? are there anyother meds that you can take to help the erectile difficulties?

also i may be switching over to tegratol, because i am experiencing so many side effects from the dilatin. does this make my problem(sex) better or worse?

thanks, please do not pass judgement on my subject. I am 19, sex is a big thing.

Hi accord

I am not sure if you mean the sex is bad or if it's worse.. I know I was on both at the same time at one period in my life and I had no desire for sex.. BUT I think this has to do with your body as an individual hon. Everyone is different and the side effects you experience are different. I had a terrible time on both of those period yes they controled the seizures but I was so dizzy I could barely walk. Having sex on the tegretol is something you will figure out on your own if you like or not. I am on mysoline (phenobarbitol) now which has no side effects at all.. but it does not control like the teg and dilantin did .. but I am happy and yes my sex life improved greatly after they took me off those.. some of the people here enjoy sex even on the teg so it really is how your body reacts to it...

Hugs
Koko

I know how you feel hon trust me ... I wish I never had epilepsy but I do and I live with it as for what would be better I really couldn't tell you hon I think it depends on the type of seizures you have. I had to use both at the same time so I really don't know which to tell you..

Hugs
Koko

Hi there,

What is it bothering you huh?
I am so much up and down like you and thats me been married for 13 years, like koko said depends on the person and there hormones, nothing wrong with being healthy as i would say, usually through my periods i have no desire, usually when i am tired i have no desire with watching the kis all day as you could maye imagine.
Could very well be the tabs, but all in all!
Your healthy so ain't that the main thing.
Bye
Shirl.x.
