Hi there – weight gain is listed as a possible side effect of carbamazepine in the online BNF: bnf.nice.org.uk/drug/carbam.... So if this is something that’s affecting you it could be worth talking things through with your epilepsy doctor or nurse.
It can be really helpful to have views from other people about this and I hope you hear from others here.
