Hi There

I have been on 600mg of trileptal for almost 6 months with other 200mg Dilantin and 50mg of topamax. I fine since I am on Trileptal I have gain some weight. I hate healthy and exercise 2 times a week. As anybody a have that side effect with Trileptal. Thank You and Take Care.

Hi How are ya?

I was on say about 1600mg of Trileptal a day. I did have a problem with weight gain. The weight gain wasn't as bad as the confusion and unbalanceness that I also experienced. THis was the 1st med I was on for complex partials and it seem like to me the effects of the meds was worst than the seizure itself. So the doctors took me off because the seizure were worst and more frequent and the side effects were not working with my body. I have read were others on trilieptal have worked out great! Then I was put on Keppra and Lactmial and that decreased the weight but had other effects. Currently I'm on Zongran, which has been working wonders for the seizures and no efects other than weight loss.
I pray that Trileptal is the miracle med for you! Sorry, you're going through this I know how it is.
May God Bless you!!

Hi - my daughter is on Trileptal - it included weight loss which she could not afford. As well, she was way too "out of it"......everyone is different...Good luck.....Paula
