I Know I Have Asked This Before But It Just Bothers Me As Does Anyone Else Have Seizures If They Do Not Eat? Not Always Hungry Then Seize.

I read that some meds make you either less hungry or eat and gain weight. I do not remember which is which.

Hasn't happened yet. I usually eat very little all day. Yogurt in the morning.i split my morning pills now because I get high. My evening pills I take them together. I'm high right now. It's not a good high. Wobbly and vision is off. Usually after I eat, it'll go away. I hope soon. I take them together because I'm afraid I'll forget.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Some meds can make you not feel hungry but I'm fairly sure if you put weight on its normally because the meds cause your metabolism to drop which makes it easier to put on weight. Normally a lot of meds would create a high metabolism.

Actually it is both. Medications can make you gain weight and steal your appetite. I’m never hungry.

It happened to me when I was a child , but I was a picky eater. Though since I've changed my diet I can skip a meal with no worries.
In the best interest is consult your doctor.
