I'm starting this at 150 mg, I think, in the next few days whenever I get brave enough. Fingers crossed.

If I gained weight from Trileptal I wouldn't know, because I've gained so much from Seroquel. I haven't noticed that I'm hungrier since starting the Trileptal.

Thanks!.... ive been on seroquel for years. But never gained weight. Been on trileptal for a month and gained 40 pounds.

Im literally sleepwalking to the kitchen to eat. Its so weird. I havent found anyone else in the land of Google, who has had this happen. So so weird.

Well, that's medication for you. Meds truly do affect people differently.

No weight gain here. It seems to be really weight neutral for me which is a plus
Seroquel when I was on it. .....yikes ! A eating nightmare
I swear I ate in my sleep

Thanks for the link, but as I understand it some of the information in the article is incorrect. For example, my pdoc mentioned that Trileptal can affect serum levels.
