HI,
THANKS FOR USING HEALTHCARE MAGIC.
THE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IN YOUR CASE MAY BE DUE TO THESES CAUSES
1. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM (BETTER IF YOU HAVE DESCRIBED YOUR PROBLEM) ITSELF CAN CAUSE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION
2. THE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION WITH VALPROATE (EPILIM CHRONO) IS RARE SINCE IT IS A ENZYME INHIBITOR OF SEXUAL STEROIDAL HORMONES AND THE LEVELS OF ANDROGENS SHOULD INCREASE THEORETICALLY. HOWEVER THERE ARE LITERATURES SUPPORTING THE EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION WITH VALPROATE.
HENCE DON'T ANY STOP MEDICATION NOW AND BETTER CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR WHO WILL EVALUATE YOU FURTHER.
ALL THE BEST.
THANK YOU.
