Hi all, this is my first post. I'll give a brief background. I suffered from depression for a long time and it wasn't until 2013 that I was diagnosed with Bipolar II. I felt functional and healthy at the time so I didn't take it all that seriously (probably hypomanic, in hindsight). Over the next few years, I caused a lot of problems in my relationship because of anger, grandiosity, irritability, and hypersexuality.
My wife recently found out I was digitally cheating on her for the past few years which was almost the last straw for her. This prompted me to realize I needed to take medication.
I started taking 250 mg Depakote about a week ago. It's doing great for me - I truly feel better and "normal" for the first time in what seems like forever. However, I've gone from being hypersexual to having erectile dysfunction.
Mentally and emotionally I get turned on but the plumbing just isn't working. It's making my wife very upset, especially in light of the cheating she found out about recently. I was wondering if this is the Depakote and if anyone else has had issues with it? There isn't much online about ED and Depakote.
Any help/advice/stories are appreciated.
