Just Wondering

I know some people might hesitate to respond to this one, but i really want to know.
I'm on Trileptal and Zoloft, and i have a problem. I can't get really sexually aroused anymore. When my girlfriend wants to kiss or cuddle, i just don't feel it, and this is significantly taking away from my love life.
Has anyone else (either guys or girls) felt this?

Heylo, I was on Keppra for a while when I was first diagnosed (complex partial) and it's effect on me was basically that it made me completely ambivalent about the world around me. It also kept me from feeling happy or joyful, and made me react very strongly to negativity. I would definitely say that sex drive was included in my ambivalence. If you feel that this aspect is severely influencing your life, you might want to talk to your neuro about other options. For me, the effects of the meds were worse than the seizures I had. I think that's something we all have to weigh. Good luck!
