Everyone reacts differently to their medication. Look on the insert which you should have got with the medication and it should say on there.

Probably most epilepsy medications have a side effect of making a person feel depressed, which could affect libido.

Nah, resolutely single here.

I suppose people just find what works for them, and don't let epilepsy take over. I'm sort of dating at the moment, i just don't make a big thing of the epilepsy. There are many people here who have spouses etc.

The best way to find out how your partner is feeling, and to understand how she/he is coping is to ask them.

I'm probably not the best person to ask about that specifically, if i'm honest.

Hi. I am not sure if it is Keppra, and/or Lamictal. It may not even be the medicine of epilepsy itself...I think I have a stronger desire for sex. I believe I am unable to barely get an erection. I am single and 45 years young. I do please myself when able.

In my


case, my tonic clonics, take me forever to recover from. I sleep 18 to 24 hours, and then the mental issues are just not fully there for days, or so it seems to me. Granted, my seizures are under great control now--I haven't had a t/c in over 7 years now, and trust me, I am ever so grateful for that.

All of the different types of seizures that I have--and I have 4--are nocturnal at this point. But I also take 4 seizure meds. I don't take any anti-depressants, but I do work hard to stay positive. I go for walks, read, do plenty of free-lance writing. And I help out here.

I am married, but in the process of a divorce. That's not because of the E, but because a large number of other reasons. And it's all good, really. The stress from being in the marriage is slowly disappearing, and I feel like things are getting better every day.

Take care.

Meetz
