If you're on trileptal, has it made you gain weight?
If you're on haldol, has it made you gain weight? I don't know which one is making me gain. I've gained thirteen pounds in three months, since starting the haldol injection. But it didn't really snowball until after I started trileptal. So I don't know which one is the culprit. All I know is that I'm still gaining weight and it's freaking me out!!!

ive been on Haldol over a year now and I didn't start putting on weight until I started drinking heavily in the last few months. I don't think the drug was responsible. Also I'm on the tablets not the injections.

I think it might be trileptal because I didn't start wanting to eat an entire buffet constantly until after I started it. I'm just STARVING all of the time.

For me, Haldol was weight neutral.

Meds are different for everyone. Trileptal has not caused me to be excessively hungry, but that's me. I was on Haldol many years ago, but don't recall whether or not it caused me to gain weight.

Trileptal has been weight neutral for me. Once ADs were added in was when I started gaining weight. Thanks Paxil...
