[epilepsy] Oh thank you so very much, here's the reason I asked

 

I very humbly apologized for saying this, but the reason I asked is this. I
take sodium valproate and recently stopped 5 medications which gave me some
libito problems. I did read some rumours that sodium valproate can decrease
libito but I didn't know this for certain. Is this for male or females? I am
a male. I did hear lamotrigine is the opposite as valproate for this matter.
