Sex Drive

Mon, 12/20/2004 - 10:21

Hi all,

I have suffered from Grand Mal seizures since my mid teens, and have been on Epilim Chrono (when I lived in the UK) and more recently, Valproic Acid in Canada.

I have noticed a huge drop in my libido and am concerned as to wether it may be the medication.

Does anyone else out there have any knowledge or experience of this?

Thanks,

James

This reply is mainly to Lee.  I would like to talk to you further if possible.  My email is mymonsterchild@hotmail.com.

As for the question of sex drive I can completely relate.  I thought at first that it was due to problems with my husband.  I later realised that it is just me.  I have no interest in sex at all.  It is hard to deal with. I wish that I did have some interest.  I guess that it is easier for a woman to pretend than a man.
