I stopped being able to feel

I stopped being able to feel aroused. It was like I was numb. But, with some patience and effort, I have regained some feeling. This problem is a known side effect.

Hi, Thank you for posting. Treatment and medications vary for each individual, so it’s important that you consult with your healthcare team, prior to making any changes in your treatment plan. It’s also important that you’re discussing your concerns and if you experience changes in seizure types/frequency, side effects, symptoms, behaviors and moods, with your doctors to determine what individual treatment plan is best for you.
