I certainly had a problem with weight gain between Keppra, Trileptol and Zonegran. Low Carb/South Beach Diet is the only way I've been able to control my weight. I've lost 75lbs and I've been able to keep it off. You have to make it a new way to eat not just a temporary diet and fill in with vitamins. IT WORKED FOR ME!!! WENDYS

bi·o·tin (b-tn)n.A colorless crystalline vitamin, C10H16N2O3S, of the vitamin B complex, essential for the activity of many enzyme systems and found in large quantities in liver, egg yolk, milk, and yeast. HI, I am glad the sadnees seem to be lifting in your dd. I hope the above is informative. ~ WendyPS: A multivitamin should include B complex and be added to the biotin and b6. This should be adequate.
