I feel guilty for raging but I can't help it sometimes. What the hell can I do.

Good evening,
I wonder if the side effect “Keppa Rage” could be partially or totally responsible for your mood issue.
Keppra can cause libido problems but not as much as some others.
Keppra is a weight-neutral drug. However, some people have gained or lost weight.

Thank you.
It's nice to have a place to talk 'vent' issues.
My wife was very amicable last night being date night, I am very excited always, but it becomes a problem with longevity, but we do enjoy our time. I can see the frustration , and we talk. She says just be patient, and relax. Last week was successful, last night, not so much. I'm glad to have her in my life, and thanks for listening.👍

We're looking at natural resources right now. Lifestyle changes and eating right with a few workout regimen is the 1st step. We realize this is going to be a process, and not one were it happens in 3-4 days, Pharmaceutical products are a 'plan B' step. I'm not a proponent of plan B, but if that one doesn't work, we may have to discuss our options with a physician and/or therapist.

My wife was diagnosed with Lupul 11 years into our marriage. We had a good marriage till then with sex three or more times a week then came the lupus and they put her on drugs that totally killed her libedo. She tried to take female hormones but they caused her lupus to flare up so she could not take them. She had zero desire for sex so we did not even kiss for the next 14 years. So I was in a sexless marriage for 14 years! I took care of myself with masterbation and never cheated on her until she passed away last August. The marriage had more conflicts than I think it would have due to the lack of intimacy but we made it work until a heart problem took her.

im in a relationship that is experiencing the lack of. we dont talk much, our sleeping habbits are opposite to avoid anything, and im feeling overwhelmed and just decided to cut out the glam and embrace the normal or bland look knowing that i tried even though there may not be any more days like our beginning. going back into my shell. that we dont communicate like we should, and him being just about him and his illnesses, there is no room for me to have a complaint. so i just stay quiet and suffer, and this is not even my husband. 5year relationship. the beginning started off well, and into the 3 year change came about. now estimated 5 times a year and decreasing. theres only so much you can do when your illnesses are demanding. but what i wish i could do over is communicate when the issue begun in the beginning with us and i wouldnt be sittin here now with no answers, and no one to talk to.

@ladysmo - Sorry you're experiencing such issues. That must be very frustrating. Have you considered talking to a qualified therapist? Life is too short to merely continue to suffer in silence.

Being able to vent is key, I'm a very quiet person and private, no friends, and family ....little to none contact with. And 1 grown child. So anything like talking to a friend or a family member about anything personal...I don't do. I manage to keep my business private. There's only so much you can boggle up inside until there's no room and you need to talk to someone to get answers...the right answers. So in my situation (which is more to this) what do i do? I would really love to talk to a qualified counselor and is willing to take advice on this matter.

Just reading your opinion led me to believe female answer, and I was right. Until prostate cancer destroys the sex drive in a man. It’s very to pray or exercise, meditate the issue away. It never goes away until something medical intervenes and disrupts the process.
