Thank you. I think cypro ought to be the next avenue to try. I remember when I tried it I would feel ravenous. And then this Ray quote felt applicable. Even though it was directed towards chemo, it seems more like a universal statement towards harsh drugs in general.

"And the nausea, where's the nausea coming from? The stomach, the body just doesn't like these harsh drugs and it's just trying hard to have a hard time dealing with it?"

"Yeah, any kind of injury to the digestive system causes it to produce lots of serotonin
and the serotonin causes the sense of nausea among other things. And so blocking the serotonin will relieve the nausea."

So even if cypro isn't a good idea, it seems like anti-serotonin food/substances might be the way to go.

A friend of mine was recently prescribed a medication called Keppra (Levetiracetam) to deal with seizures. As a result, she started experiencing mood swings, and more importantly, terrible nausea and headaches whenever eating anything, leading her to sometimes go days without eating, and almost never feeling hungry.

I recommended progesterone and thyroid, and that's done a lot to elevate her mood, but the nausea symptoms from food persist. Does anyone have any advice?
