hi ,
it seems that you are taking these medications ae part of treatment for epilepsy. tab tegritol has CARBAMAZEPINE as active ingredient; carbamazepine may be associated with decreased sexual performance(Epilepsia,2007). also, a workup involving serum prolactin,serum testosterone levels is suggested.
