My boyfriend has been on Dilantin for seizures for years, and was given a Rx for Keppra recently. Since then, he has not been able to hold an erection and believes this is related to the Keppra. Please respond with your research if there is any other alternative medication that will not affect his performance.This is now starting to cause depression and anxiety. Is there hope for resuming our once healthy sex life.
Does Keppra have sexual side effects?

It has not been reported as a side effect, however you should talk to his doc. who prescribed the drug. Please read more about Keppra on: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/keppra-side-effects.html & https://www.drugs.com/keppra.html, hope this helps & he gets well soon.

I use to be on Dilantin for many years with no sexual side effects, every since I've been taking keppra Ive been having the same erectile disfunction problem. What did your man do to fix his problem or how do I resolve this problem. Ive never had a problem like this and it's frustrating.
