Try Periactin as needed!
Its worth trying. Your serotonin would be blocked for a few hours but at least you will be shooting straight!

vickie l.roy Dear TomiAnne Tegretol is not a bad suggestion. I took it for almost 15yrs. But it wouldn't kill your husband to go with you to the neurologist and ask some questions and learn something. IF you have to drag him in with you once or twice and tell the doctor what is going on. Tell him/her that he won't read about the medications and could they explain about the sexual side effects. It took me 6 years after we were married before I was able to have our son. Between my medications(like you) and I found out that I had poly systic ovaries. Not only am I Epileptic I am also Hypoglycemic. (low blood sugar) that is why I had the systs. I had to see a diabetic specialist. But that isn't the point. Make him go to the doctor's office with you. Tell him if you want some answers either start reading or ask some questions. Don't be shy about that. IF HE doesn't ASK HE won't know. I can say one thing for my husband he has been really understanding and patient. From the time I was going through my testing and surgery back in 1997 to now.
