Sex drive and seizure medications
Tue, 05/24/2005 - 13:49Hello everyone,
I was wondering if ANYONE has advice on what to do about the loss of sex drive from these dammed seizure meds.
I am 44, have had a hysterectomy and on Carbitrol. I have NO sex drive at all. Does anyone have advice????
Please help!
Diana

It is weird I am reading over and over how tegretol lowers the sex drive...I have been taking that stuff for close to 18 years. Of course when I was 18 the age I am supposed to be peaking I had no care or interest for girls. 21 it started coming around a bit, and I am now 31, every year my sex drive just gets stronger and stronger. To the point now where I need to relieve myself 3-5x a day.
They say a guys sex drive should be diminishing by now and here I am like a horny 18 yr old. I am curious if the tegretol has a role in all this.
