Meds & Nausea
Sat, 12/30/2006 - 14:46Topic: Medication Issues
My husband currently takes Depakote. He's been on this for a couple of years now and it has improved his seizure control.
The only problem is that he complains on a regular basis of being nauseated, not hungry.
He's lost about 15 lbs over the last couple of years but says he doesn't mind because it makes up for him not being as active as he would like to be.
I am a little concerned about this as he really doesn't need the weight loss. Is there something that we can do about the nausea other than trying a different med or is this one of those give or take things that you have to balance.
Thanks
