Absolutely. I've had epilepsy, since birth back in 1956. During the years of the 70s and 80s, the medicines I was on, Depakene, Mysoline, Dilantin, and Klonopin were not doing a good job, and since they were not stopping my seizures, back then I could look at a woman in a bathing suit and be aroused by it. Now, on Keppra 2000 mgs daily, Trileptal 1200 mgs daily, I can look at nude photos, videos or even be surrounded by nude people and nothing happens. I spoke to my family Dr then she referred me to a Urologist. I was tested by that Dr and he said everything seems okay. He said Sex is 80% mental and 20% physical, so he referred me to a place called Advanced Center of Psychotherapy, and that Dr said it can be that I don't have a desire, or it could be the meds. He said Antiseizure meds, antidepressants, and antianxiety meds all keep the body calm, and arousal is excitement. So being in this calm unanxious state may be from the medicines. I'm glad my seizures are not as they were back in the 70s andb 80s which could be as many as 9 in a 7 day week. Now they are about maybe one or two per 6 week periods of time.
Most of the epileptics in the Support Group I used to be part of in NYC, the people are without close friends, and most are single. I am on as many dating sites as possible, but meeting people isn't hard, when you meet someone who wants a real close relationship which involves sex thats where my problems start. I have to warn every woman I meet, "If you are looking for a Red Hot Lover, count me out." Sometimes I think I just haven't met the right woman where there is just no chemistry between those I have met. I'm ready to give up, adopt more pets and call it quits. I did find out on my medical records it has the statement that "the patient is not stimulated by XXX videos or photos." Its just me at present, but I do miss the 70s and 80s sex wise, but I do appreciate how the meds Keppra and Trileptal have decreased my seizures very much.
