Since my original post to this poll I have tried 2 other Anti Epilepsy Meds so all up I tried 5 Anti Epilepsy Meds.Five years ago when I was rediagnosed with epilepsy I was put on Tegretol.
Three years ago I was taking regular turns so the neurologist was going to gradualy take me of the Tegretol & put me on Lamictal. But while I was going of the Tegretol I had a grandmal seizure at my place of employment at the time. My neurologist ended up keeping me on both the Tegretol & Lamictal.
Last year I was taken of of the Lamictal & put on Topamax, I am now on Tegretol & Topamax.
A friend of mine who also has epilepsy was telling me once how she tried Tegretol for a little while but she gained weight while on the Tegretol. I've seen posts from others on here that say Tegretol has affected their weight aswell.I have gained weight, I can't lose and wonder if it is part of the Tegretol.
