My seizure medications decrease my appetite. I could go all day just eating once but my mom always forces me to eat something for lunch

@Freedy2, use caution taking Depakote. It will cause liver damage. I took it for 8 months and had to be removed. Here is a link to read, https://www.drugs.com/depakote.html

My meds don’t make me hungry at all. So I have to eat even if I’m not hungry. Plus the meds I’m on make me gain weight . I was on Dilantan for years and no weight gain. Then I was changed to weight gainers.
