Anyone notice that it practically disappears? I certainly have. I know that it's probably because of the meds but it would be nice to have it back.

Sex drive

Submitted by callalily89 on Thu, 2009-03-19 - 12:25
I'm 20 and I take only lamictal twice a day- 150 mg. in the morning and 100 mg. at night. I've been on lamictal for 8 years. About a year ago my sex drive really picked up and hasn't stopped since, that might be due to my age and hormones happening, but I crave sex all the time. Which of course my boyfriend loves that because I never have "headaches" haha.

I haven't had sex since I stopped driving in '98. Being on plenty of medicines and having uncontrolled epilepsy is the reason I quit driving. I wish seizures could be controlled so I could drive and date, maybe leading to sex. Maybe drive = sex, or sex drive. Timothy Baldwin
