Agreed. Think of Keto as a lifestyle change. Not a diet to lose weight. We change the way we eat and for many, the seizures reduce.
I attribute it to no more absence seizures.
Along with a VNS implant, I've come off 1 pill.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member what about the keto diet. my keto thing only cost food supplies and if you take any high meds, it will probably lesson the amount. i went from keppra 1,000 and phenobarbital highest you can go to keppra lowest you can go and phenobarb lowest you can go.

Your better talking to your doctor about side effects of the meds or you can go to www.drugs.com.

For the meds your and what your paying for it is nothing compared to the prices my 5 meds . If I didn’t have insurance, I would have to pay $5000 out of my pocket.

I think everyone s experience of weight gain/ loss is different I was on Topiramate once & lost 4 stone I had no appetite at all Poeple began to ask if I was seriously ill !

I am sorry but I don't know of any meds that will stop weight gain I know that meds are expensive. You say you want to stop weight gain, by the looks of your picture you are a beautiful youg woman
