I just started on Keppra and I haven't gotten my appetite back. The taste of food is making me noxious. I was on lamictal and it didn't have that affect on me. I gained weight.

I worry the same with my daughters. They are FTT (failure to thrive) due to psychosocial dwarfism from abandonment and neglect from their bio mom when they were younger. They see a endocrinologist and gastroenterologist and take medications to increase appetite called Periactin. I wonder if taking this medication helps with the weight loss.
