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!

Diana

Diana - I was reading the board with my wife, and she thinks it may be the hysreectomy that may be causing this. That is HER opinon, she is not a MD, so this may not be true. She is wonding if you are on nay hormones? I know this sound crazy from a guy, and we are not being nosy. I do repect your privacy, and if you want you can send your reply via email to me.Thanks.Erik & Jennifer - 06-29-03

My doc was shocked, but lamictal did wonders after getting off dialantin.
