I have been on Dilantin since 1988 for Focal Epilepsy. I am now 43 have have begun experiencing ED and I wonder if it could be attributed to prolonged use of Dilantin?
I am on 600mg which i take at night before going to bed. Has anyone else had similar reactions?:confused:

This is probably related to your medication.Go see your doctor and heshe can either order you a viagra type drug or even change your dilantin to something else if that's possible.
You have to be able to tell the doctor weather it's a loss of libido or just a loss of erection.Or it could be both.
I have been on opiate painkiller's for 28+ years and after awhile the opiate can and usually do lower a mans bio-available testosterone levels leaving me with no libido at all.
I started on TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy). The testosterone comes in either a patch,gel,pill or shot with the first 2 being the most popular.
Once the testosterone levels begine to rise so will the rest of you.
So definately go and tell your doctor what's going on.Good luck... Dave

With any medication there are side effects and when having ED there are a lot of drugs that will effect the effectivensee of the drug!
