If epileptics fits are controlled then it doesn't affect your mental or sexual health significantly...It also depends how you perceive your illness and on the coping strategies you used.. Definitely, drugs on long term may brings some side effects but it's not common with Levera..If you completed 3-5 yrs remission period then a trial to stop the drug can be considered.
