I was diagnosed with epilepsy (partial temp lobe) a few weeks or so ago. Looking back for years it seems like I was having many of the same symptoms as I am now, only to a more minor extent. I just started medication so I am not all the way to the therapeutic dosage yet (topamax). But I was curious about one thing in particular. Libido.
For awhile now I have had nearly zero sex drive. I could never figure out why and just blamed getting older, possible stress etc. But it's been an issue for both I and my husband. Luckily he doesn't show that it bothers him but I know it does. Personally it does bother me to an extent and I wish it was higher overall.
Alright so becoming educated on epilepsy has opened my eyes to so many symptoms that I have had for a very long time. It was very eye opening, and one of them included what I mentioned. With that being said has anyone had their sex drive increase or improve once their seizures were under control? Or is it always dire due to medications. I have the worry that it will be 100% gone, but then thought possibly if getting my brain settled helped and the medications hurt it at least would kind of balance out to avoid the 100% situation.
Experiences?
