oh goodness, is it definitely the phenobarbital, which i was always under the notion that it was coupled with Dilantin. Nasty shit, that dilantin. I had my first -doccumented seizue- when I'd gone down to this hospital to jump thru their hoops so's I could get t into their pain management clinics..i was in the e.r.ng enough to teach English to an antiquated Salvdoreno (he problly forgot by now but it was fun to do an something to pass the tiime) the nurse calls my name I sling my gear over my shoulder, walking down hallway for what I perceive is triage number 5. (yes, I'd been there that long) when I collapssed for no reason. pt b i'm on a gurney getting shit interrogeted out of me)I'd had a grand mal 90sec seizure..muscles going rigid, eyes rolling back in the head-i was asked if i rememberd any of it. I didn't A hefty dose of ativan and phenytoin(dila ntin) later and i felt like I came off of one those amusement park rides I swear never to ride. I had them take me offa the dilantin as it made my entire brain feel like it was sloshing all over the skull...no more ativan...alprazolam so Icould sleep at nite and they switched me from the dilantin to Keppra (levetiracetam) and so far doing well on that..mild seizures except for the one where i could actually feel my jaws slamming shut with such force as I could never consciusly imitate. I don't notice a diffference in my sexuality..but the phenobarbital...a barbiturate...that coud definitely lead to lack of exciting feeling and lethargy and if you're hell bent on the ball gag, have it be something that you can both breath thru and won't get stuck down your throat. Good luck. ES
