Hi!!

I an IT professional. I suffer from minor form of epilepsy. I was taking the medicine Epival 250mg but then switched over to Keppra and finally LEREAC which well suited me. One of the main reasons for changing the medicine was that I felt Epival was responsible for causing excessive hunger.

I am 10-15kgs over-weight. But I am quite athletic than the average person. I used to do Karate when I was young and even
passed the yellow belt test. I work out in a nearby gym home, on and off, and go on jogging on Sundays for 2 hours.

Despite, all the physical activities that I do, I am still over-weight. I have abnormal eating patterns. I have lunch and
dinner more early than my family members do. I also over-eat. I cant understand figure out what is the reason that I overeat. Moreover, over-eating is causing me gastric problems. If I get fat later on, it will cause more diseases to me.

A doctor recently suggested me to get a test done for checking what is the amount of iodine in my body. That might be causing me epilepsy and over-eating. But I am still not sure whether that is the reason for abnormal eating.

Please would someone suggest me something on this issue.
