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

Spiz,My sex drive crashed prior to starting these lovely meds, and guess who was the crash dummy?..lol Now, that I'm on the meds, and menopause has set in, with the lovely hot flashes, I dont know if I'm coming or going! Hell, my hub bought me something last month...I asked him what that was for (can't remember what it was), and he said, cause I gave it up twice in a week! Uhhh...that was news to me!...lmao Maybe I was asleep?...geeesh...so much for short-term memory loss. I just hope that I enjoyed it as much as he did!Keep safe...and happy?classy1

  And here I thought he was making that up!!! The fact that I was memorable tells me one thing and the fact that he wasn't tells me another.

    Flowers?!  I didn't get flowers! You wait!
