I sometimes have a reaction to my medicine where I'm not hungry. There are times when I might not even eat for the whole day. I've had this problem all my life since I started having seizures at 5 days old. So I don't think that it's the medicine.

I take so much medication that I’m NEVER hungry. My mom basically makes something and forces me to go eat it. Any time I have lunch somewhere I text my mom and tell her “No Dinner” but she still makes me eat something. I’ve been this way for years.

My meds started. I was wondering why I was not eating as much. I take Keppra and discovered one of the side effects was a lack of appetite. i took advantage and I changed my diet so I could lose weight. And it worked. I lose weight and have fewer seizures most of the time. .
