Decreased Appetite
Tue, 08/09/2005 - 14:32My 13 year old daughter has been on Keppra for 8 months and we are noticing a decrease in her appetite. This started about one month ago. Is this normal for this sideeffect to start after so many months or is it maybe just a decrease in appetite because the weather has gotten so warm?

I have been taking Keppra for 3 years now. I have to force myself to eat; my husband gets very upset but food just doesn't interest me. I am very depressed about this whole seizure thing and often times wish I could move on to my next life. I just recently found this site and realize now that there are many of "us" out there struggling with the same things. I don't feel quite so alone knowing it's not just me thinking I've lost my mind.
