So sorry, Sean2. B vitamins help me with appetite. Lamotrigine is supposed to reduce the appetite, too. I am going back on it and hopefully will get up and about, a bit more.

I take “One a Day” and “Centrum” everyday with my afternoon seizure meds to get my daily vitamins. I hope the Lamotrigine helps you gain energy and get out more.

It’s not just one pill particulary. I’ve had this appetite loss for a long time and my medications have changed around a lot. I don’t remember ever even taking Xcorpi. So we think it’s more the number of pills I take each day. I have Temporal Lobe Seizures like you.

Sean2, what med is that? I started losing weight with XCopri, but am so tired now it is hard to get up off the couch.

My medication steals my appetite. I can get by just eating one time per day
