Just Started Keppra About 2 Weeks Ago. I'm Still Adjusting, Any Tips To Help With Appetite?

I've had very little appetite lately, forcing myself to eat has been one of the more tricky things for me lately.

Thanks for sharing, Keppra was the first RX I got put on like 11 years ago. I was off it for multiple years before switching my insurances and my Dr's wanted to try something else. So I went from taking heavy doses of 3 different RXs to now just the Keppra. I remember the struggle with mood and rage from all those years ago, although I am still having to climg this hill again, I feel as though I'm doing a much better job right now, than the last time at being mindful and protecting my mentality.
I would say appetite, mood, and energy have been the three biggest challenges this go around for me with Keppra.
Although I kinda still feel like I'm in this dark tunnel right now, It's like I can see the light at the end.
Although I have not lost hope, it is constantly a test on my mental resolve I feel.
