Wondering if the seizure meds are effecting that and what I may be able to do to make things right. viagra or something like that?
Brief Answer:
Dilantin can cause impotence!

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this sexual impotence, Dilantin is known to cause this. I will suggest that you talk with your doctor to find out if this drug is absolutely needed at this time or it can be conveniently stopped to reverse this side effects. If it cannot be stopped, then I recommend viagra for your use.
