@LiamGraves said in Horrific Nausea from Seizure Medication:

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?

I typed the word "Levetiracetam" into the search bar at the Ray Peat forum and came up with these threads and posts:

Personally i would skim over it for useful ideas, a common theme seems to be Magnesium but the form is often important. Wishing your friend the best, and luck for you in your research.
