I was wondering if anyone has heard about Dilantin having sexual side effects. Because of the Dilantin I started taking Depo-Provera for my birth control, and I don't know which one could be affecting my sex drive. I have since stopped the Depo but am still waiting for my sex drive to return.

I had my first (recorded) seizure three weeks after getting my first depo shot. I was put on dilatin for my seizures. I had no sex drive and was terribly depressed to the point of wanting to commit suicide. (I also had my period for 5 months from that one shot... I discontinued use of depo) It has been two years since I got on dilation and over a year and a half since I have been off the depo shot. While my sex drive has improved a bit, it is still very, very low. For me, both influenced my drive but the dilantin seems to be the worst. At 22 years old I have sex once to two times a month. Thankfully I have a very understanding man in my life.. Best of luck to you!
