Sex drive and seizure medications

Tue, 05/24/2005 - 13:49

Hello 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!

i have been on limictal for many years since about 1999 i am off the tegrotol xr and other meds i was one since about 2002 i cna say my sex drive is pretty good but id like it to be a little stronger like you i have the sexual problem of beiong a little to quick in my eyes but i do know how to use my body and as long as i am getting laid 2-3 times a day the sex is mind blowing for both her and me but for some reason when its only once a day or only a few days a week im not very happy with myself my ex never complained we were together for 3 years until i left sand even after leaving well we wont go there lol but i get you i guess tegrotol could be and so could depakote i was also told id never be able to bare children my doctor reassured me different and when i was down to limictal only but a good number of years after being told differently my son was born (yes hes mine i have the dna test to prove it lol) but talk to your doctor about your meds who knows what could come of it like i said i only take limictal so i cant really say to much about it as i said if im getting laid 2, 3 times a day theres times i cant even catch a nut and she before long asks me to stop but if i'm not getting it the way i know my body needs it then its wham bam thank you ma'am next time i see ya i'll do ya again the important thing is learn how to control your body and when in the bedroom put her in her place and let her know who is in charge if shes taking control of everything that could be part of the problem to you tell her to spread that eagle throw those legs back as far as they will go and take her to pound town once your in the pleasure palace take control of it and remember today is friday -TGIF Tongue Goes in First and the best way to stimulate her and make her squirt all over your face is through her clit then your girl will be happy my friend you cna take that to the bank i dont know maybe i'm wrong for saying these things but i've had alot of sex with alot of women in my life (not saying im proud of it, nor am i a sex god by any means lol) because of this i have learned about my body and how to use it and when its time to say hey this is what time it is

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.
