Q: Sodium Valproate (epilim) And Sexual Arrousal
asked by:

i suffer from a minor case of epilepsy which mainly causes me problems when I drink or am sleep deprived. I have been taking 200mg of sodium valproate (epilim) twice a day (200mg in the morning and 200mg at night). My doctor has recently increased that to 200mg in the morning and 400mg at night.
I am curious if this change could cause any problems with sexual arrousal? If so, how can this be overcome? Will it pass?
I know this is a strange question but I feel weird having to ask my doctor so I thought i'd try here. I'm not sure if it is the epilim or something else. I can only hope that's all it is!
many thanks. Your advice is appreciated.
