Hi its Dustin again,
I wanted to bring up another problem related to seizure meds. Its something that I have noticed shortly after I started having seizures, and its a lack of libido. I have been on four different meds since I started my seizures: Dilantin, Tegretol, and now a combo of Topamax and Lamictal. And with all I have had a problem with libido. During my course of Tegretol I had my testosterone checked and it was way below normal for a guy of only 19. And my testosterone levels have been low ever since. I am now on testosterone replacement therapy to try and raise my level and it has. It also helped the issue with my libido untill recently. So I am not really sure what to do because there isnt really to many more drugs that I can take that control Grand Mal seizures. And doctors dont ever believe that its the meds that could be causing an issue with testosterone even though they have already checked every gland in my body. So has anybody else had a similar experience that may allow some insite.
Much appreciated
Dustin
