Hi
I switched from Tegretol to Trileptal about 4 months ago. The side effects are some much easier for me to tolerate! EXCEPT for one. I have really dry skin/hair.
I do find Trileptal more activating than Tegretol. I don't sleep quite as well, and my moods can cycle more. I really have to watch how much AD I take, or I go hypomanic. Though adding Neurontin has helped with that.
In the weight department, for me, I would say is neutral. I have neither gained or lost.
So glad you are having a good response!
