Lowered sex drive with onfi
Wed, 05/03/2017 - 08:51Topic: Medication Issues
Hi!
I just started onfi recently (maybe a month ago) I was wondering if anyone has experienced a
lower sex drive while on onfi. I know others like phenobarbital has for me. I didn't know it
at the time.
Anyone else have that experience?
Thank you!!

I am on Onfi and I am experiencing the same. But, I am also going through a divorce so I can't tell right now whether its the depression or the Onfi. I am guessing probably a bit of both. The constipation went away after a month or so with the Onfi. However, Onfi stopped my seizures. So I will trade them for now. Onfi does cloud me a bit though. I'm not as sharp as I was when just on Lamictal and Tegretol. Effects my motivation. I have only been on it a few months and even less on the current dose so these may all go away.

I take 10 mg of onfi twice a day for epilepsy and I've noticed over the last few weeks my drive has lowered but other than that I haven't had any issues

I take onfi but I do also take Zoloft, Keppra and Zonagran. I have a low sex drive too. But Zoloft also can cause it. I have a whole list of terrible side effects like hypnopompic hallucinations, drowsiness, bone mass loss, weight gain and the worst Constipation which I've had for 5 years now that give me Hemorrhoids even though I eat healthy food. Usually nothing but fruit, spinach and protein.
