@AP As a veterinarian who uses potassium bromide to treat resistant epilepsy in dogs, because it builds up in the body - after several years of medication the dog may stop eating or have trouble getting up and the drug needs to be withdrawn, so I will now choose keppra instead .
@AP This is what potassium bromide can do -

•depression,
•lethargy, somnolence (from daytime sleepiness to coma)
•loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting
•loss of reflexes or pathologic reflexes
•clonic seizures
•tremor
•ataxia, more
Potassium bromate is . . . an oxidizing agent, and under the right conditions, is reduced to bromide in the baking process.[7][8] . . . if too much . . . or if the bread is underbaked or baked (too) low …then a residual amount remains, which may be harmful if consumed.[8]
@AP Wikipedia says besides being carcinogenic https://t.co/lJLsEdjUc8 that it can be reduced to bromide which can cause sedation and worse side effects
