I went and found on this site dated January 28, 2001 a few postings from people that said they were repulsed by meat and had a taste change went they went off of the Trileptal. I went to a site called Trileptal Consumer Info which downloaded an acrobat reader book of 28 pages with all kinds of info about this medication. It did show that people had a change in their taste. Also it can cause birth defects it also will interfere with hormonal contraceptives, besides epilepsy it is used to treat Trgeminal Neuralgia (facial pain) its real name is oxcarbazepine. So I guess the whole weight thing is why I was given the pill. Yesterday I found more info on the weightloss aspect of it, but today went back and cant remember where exactly it was. I have aol so I just typed in keyword trileptal and it went to all kinds of sites. It led me here actually so you can research also if you are interested. That is all I really know for now have a good day bye!
