Hello everyone

I’ve been on Oxcarbazepine & Kepra for many years now and have always struggle with weight.

Bear in mind I’m highly active, training 5-6 times a week at high intensity. Have a high body muscle composition and eat relatively healthy. but I’ve noticed that I’ve put all of a sudden 5-10kg of weight in a short period of time (1 month).

Has anyone experienced weight gain on these meds? I know Oxcarbazepine can cause that, but Kepra is not supposed to.

I am evaluating asking my doctor to phase out Oxcarbazepine as we have been decreasing dose of some time now and I’m at a minimum atm.

Thanks for the help
