Food! I feel stoned if I take Keppra on an empty stomach.

I always take my meds with a meal because they can upset my stomach

I need to eat food first and then can take the medication. This prevents me from feeling stomach sick and sometimes nausea

If you're talking about medication for epilepsy I take mine with a form of liquid: water, milk, or tea.

Some of my other medication for diabetes and prostate I take with food.
