Liz...more than welcome. With me it does just the opposite and need to gain. If I do have a seizure then not
eating for sure for days on end, absolutely nothing as it wouldn't stay down with the migraine, then I loose
more. Loosing is hard to gain for me and can't afford to. Use to be round the 120 and being not up to par
lately with dr trying different med etc and having more breakthroughs than normal am just hanging on to the
100/5 mark. Dr. told me I had very high metabolism and fine boned and even though a baby boomer and should be
gaining weight somewhere said I would never have trouble. Guess it isn't all the meds unless they make me
high metab. and fine boned. The type that can't sit in one spot for to long )smile(.
Glad to have you here and please feel at ease writing any time.

Hey, Julie. :)
Thanks for this. I actually am the way I am (LOTS to lose) in part because of lifelong AED use. Phenobarb and
Tegretol (especially at the doses I was ordered to take) made me ravenous and stupid, LOL, so the weight piled
on quickly. Keppra seems to be doing the opposite, but let me be clear: I am eating. I am generally having two
meals and two snacks (or a snack and a dessert). If that helps me lose, it can only be a good thing...right?
:)
Thanks again!
LIZARD :)

Hi Liz and welcome to the group. Great to see you. I am the same way although not on Keppra. Seems like for
me it is any AED I eat very little. Specially when on high doses. For me it gets worse the longer I am on
them. I think it takes the taste buds from your tongue or something as there are days when I could just pick
now and then and that's it.

Is this my imagination? I last ate at 3 pm. It's after 9, and I'm FULL. I have only been on it for two weeks,
but I have 90 lbs to lose, so it wouldn't be a bad thing, LOL.
LIZARD, hoping...:)
