Weight Gain On Keppra

Has anyone experience a weight gain on @Keppra? I have gained almost 20 lbs in just 45 days. I also take Zoloft for depression and anxiety.

I've lost almost 50 lbs since 2019 diagnosed in 2021. I'm the complete opposite. I went from 194 and now struggling to maintain 145.

I lossed weight when I stared and then gained when I went off the keppra. The keppra made food taste like nothing so I didn't crave food. People started asking if i had cancer or aids. It took a long time to balance out after taking that.
