I'm taking keppra for seizures, is it normal for keppra to lower sex drive?

Answer 1

Keppra has now been used by at least 100,000 people, and it appears to be very safe. In the earliest tests, people who took it as an add-on to another seizure medicine were only slightly more likely to quit because of side effects than people who took a placebo (a pill with no active medicine) instead.

Some side effects that have been reported include:

sleepiness
loss of strength and energy
dizziness
anxiety
nervousness
irritability
other mood changes
Some of these are more likely during the first month of treatment.

If you notice any of these problems, call the doctor's office. Sometimes the doctor can help by changing the amount of Keppra you take or how you take it. Don't stop taking Keppra or change the amount you take without the doctor's guidance.

Some people have reported helpful effects from Keppra. They say they can think and concentrate better and feel more alert. It's hard to be sure whether these benefits are from the Keppra or from having fewer and less severe seizures.

If you have just started taking Keppra (or have just started taking a larger amount), be careful doing anything that might be dangerous until you know whether you are feeling sleepy, dizzy, or uncoordinated.

Allergic reactions
There are no known allergic reactions to Keppra.

Long-term side effects The long-term side effects of Keppra are not yet known.

Well, you mentioned your self that he's a intercourse addict. So certainly he feels the must get off plenty, definitely that's why he masturbated. If he does not get it from you, he'll move do it himself. If that relatively bothers you actually I could get a divorce with him. A "typical" man that wasn't hooked on intercourse could simply wait till you're now not there to masturbate. Clearly if he is going into the toilet when you rejected him, he definitely can't aid himself/ does not care what you suppose. Now you already know his real person, so make a alternative whether or not or now not you wish to be with him.

Answer 4

I am not sure of the side effect it has but if you are taking a combination of drugs along with your keppra then yes it could have that kind of side effect. Also having epilepsy can have its own side effects. Please talk to your current physician..

Answer 5

I think so but you should still make it do what it do. Fantasize, tell your girl to help you out and bare with you.
