Raquin Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Is weight gain a normal part of taking tegretol? Have any of you gained weight on Tegretol, due to the medication? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 It's not generally known for causing weight gain. I've never gained weight on it. I did tend to forget where I'd left my lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I have been on Tegretol for 6 months now at 600mg (I had a month period where it was stopped due to my mother messing with my meds) but I haven't gained any weight. In fact I've lost about 9lbs, but I am dieting. blackbird x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Thank you to everyone who responded! I'm on 300 mgs a day at the moment. The chewable tablets taste like crap and make my mouth numb, but so far so good, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
