Dilantin Side Effects In Males- Low Testosterone
UpdatedI've been taking 300 mg of Dilantin for about 20 years for a single seizure episode. About 10 years ago I was experiencing low energy, bouts of depression, problems with ED and basically feeling like I was 40 years older than I was. I tried MDs, psychiatrists, therapy, vitamins with no success. Then I found a few studies that showed that long term Dilantin use effected the production and metabolism of testosterone in men. This was before docs were prescribing or making testosterone treatments for many things so there wasn't much out there about this. I pushed my doc and an endocrinologist for a blood work up and my t levels came back as low normal but the docs weren't convinced of the correlation but agreed to let me try a testosterone med as a trial. In one - two weeks many of my symptoms had disappeared. The docs were amazed but remained as wait and see. For 7 years I've been on Androgel replacement therapy and I have been a new man ever since. The docs have since seen research to confirm my original discovery.
I share my experience so that other men don't have to go through what I did.
