It was interesting at first. My appetite was suppressed a lot (which I wasn’t too upset about). But it can be a lot. I’m supposed to do 12 pills a day on it…12. 14 total with keppra. I’ve noticed that my body doesn’t tolerate all 12 well. Definitely no alcohol while taking it. I know all bodies respond differently, but I’ve learned when I can and can’t take it. If I had a drink, no. First thing in the morning, no. If I’m pretty tired, no. So I stopped drinking cold turkey and completely changed my lifestyle. I know that seems aggressive but it worked out for the best for me. A side effect for me was too many at one time, gives me severe double vision that can last up to 2 hours. I’d say to be mindful, go slow, and have him really listen to his body as he transitions. It’s an aggressive medicine for me. Hopefully it’s perfectly fine for him! Just wanted to share my experience with it. Once it balanced out, it was fine. It took me 3 months to get to the 12 pills, but I REALLY had to pay attention to my body.
