Has anyone else experienced some weight loss/inability to gain taking KEPPRA [Levetiracetam]?
Hi! I have also have had partial complex seizures. I was started out with Depakote, and I went through hell! I gained 70 pounds on Depakote, and became dull. My quality of life plummeted. My doctor switched me to Lamicital, which then helped me lose the weight I gained, but did a poor job managing my seizures. I just checked Epocrates, and weight loss is not a reported adverse reaction of Keppra, I do know while I was on Keppra I became a whole other person, very moody and hostile. Seizure medicines are seriously the devil, I do not know your stance on this, but you may want to look into Medical Marijuana if it is legal in your state. I was always against it but it gave me my life back. Because the Keppra is making you lose so much weight but seems to be working with you I would one, go to the doc to get your dosage changed, and two start eating like you mean it! Possibly buy Ensure+ which is made for people who need extra support maintaining weight. Although your dosage of Keppra is currently at it's lowest recommended for partial complex seizures, combination therapy may very well save your life. The best advice I ever got was above all to look after my quality of life over my treatment, as treatment can always be altered. I'm sorry I rambled, I just know how frustrating it is.
Wife Blaming me for her Weight Gain? Is that Fair?
My wife and I are both in our early 40's.. My wife has always been a very curvy woman.. At the time we were married 10 years ago, she was curvy.. I would not say over weight.. About 3 years ago, she joined a gym and lost lots of weight, after about a year, she gave up the membership because it was taking to much out of her, she said she could control her weight on her own without working out... Then over the course of the next few years, she slowly gained all the weight back and more... Last summer, around June, my wife approached me about some pill program.. The product was very expensive, and she could not afford it on her salary.. ( Nearly $100 per month for 30 pills).. She asked if I would get these pills for her to help her lose weight... I agreed, I did it not because I wanted her to lose weight, but I wanted her happy... Here is the problem... The pill program says you have to diet while you take the pills, and my wife didn't do that.. She just continued to eat.. Eat all the time, eating more than me... I never criticized her, but during the 5 months she took the pill, she never lost weight, it basicly froze her weight where she was when she started... So after the 5th month... I did not order the pills... Now she's freaking out, because she claims she has gained 20 pounds without he pills? She's attacking me on a daily basis saying that Because I discontinued the program, she is now gaining weight... The problem is, she doesn't pay for the pills, on top of not paying for them, she doesn't follow the instructions, and the pills had ZERO effect other than keeping her weight where she was... Does she have a right to blame me?

How do you let your wife know that she is putting on too much weight?
First of all, make sure the door is unlocked and the pathway is unobstructed. Next, make sure the car is running and located in an appropriate location for a fast getaway (make sure that the vehicle is not in the garage, is facing the street, all windows are up, the driver’s side door is open). The first thing you should do once your are in the confines of the car, is to lock the doors. Having made those necessary preparations, you considerably lessened the chances of suffering physical injury to your person. There really is no easy way to broach this subject. First of all, use an indirect positive approach, and never use the words “fat”, “overweight “, or “obese”. Concentrate on health and fitness. Tell her that you are going for a walk and invite her go along with you. It will be invigorating, good for both of you, and a welcomed chance to talk. Once you get used to taking walks, it’s time to go to the next level. If you have not yet joined a fitness center, then both of you should do so. At first, concentrate on things that are easy. enjoyable, and beneficial. Tell her that you would be happy to do these things with her. Such things as water polo, swimming, walking on the treadmill, adult exercise classes, and any other number of activities can help anyone lose weight. Take a look at what foods you are eating. Find healthy recipes and plan meals together. Be reasonable and don’t start out too quickly or you will burnout and quit these activities in a very short time. If you get bored, then vary your routine. It always is a good idea to have a physical before starting any diet and/or exercise program. Your doctor will be able to recommend a nutritionist or weight loss program, such as Jennie Craig. It is important that you do things together. This doesn’t necessarily mean doing the same exercises or taking the same fitness classes, but it does mean going to the gym together as a matter of the all-important mutual support. The hardest thing to do is to sustain the necessary desire to exercise regularly. If you do an internet search on your question, you will see numerous articles on the subject, including those from those on Quora.
How can I lose weight without getting stretch marks?

Will Complan cause one to gain weight?
Complan was originally designed to provide “controlled weight gain". While it might be full of vitamins and minerals, one serving mixed with just water contains 250 calories. If drunk with full fat milk then those calories increase to 800. Now consider that a basic hamburger contains about 300 calories.So it is certainly not something that I would be consuming if I was keeping an eye on my weight.In my humble opinion - but as someone that has lost a considerable amount of weight through simply changing to a healthy lifestyle, there are far too many of these concoctions manufactured and marketed as health supplements, yet they all have one significant downside to them. While they claim to contain lots of the "good things", they are also manufactured to have a taste that is pleasing to ensure people enjoy consuming them. That "pleasing taste" is usually as a result of also including things that are not so good for you.If you focus on eating and a naturally healthy range of food and drink that your body was designed to consume and operate on, you actually do not need the additional supplements.
