Since I've started to take Trileptal, I've gained about 25 lbs. I don't think it was exclusively the medicine- part of it is that I've really felt great and went from eating very little to having an appetite.

I've decided that I'm not going to press my p-doc to switch the medicine because my symptoms are alleviated.

I'm starting to run again, and I'm starting to see some results but it's going to take a while to get to where I want to be.

Has anyone else stayed on a medicine after gaining weight? Did you eventually lose it?
