So far it's only been 4 days on 100mg of Tegretol and I like it! No side effects - shocking!
I'm curious if people gain or lose weight with Tegretol? It says it is weight neutral.

I didn't lose or gain any weight on this med. I was on it for almost a year and then I switched to Trileptal.

Sheila seriously listen to Maxime if she says she didn't get fat and it's weight neutral I'd believe it and so good no side effects. Phillipa

Its true that for most people Trileptal has much fewer serious side effects than Tegretol, which should be monitored more closely.
