Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Gaining of weight after stopping the treatment for epilepsy is not related to the drugs you have taken. It can be related to hormonal disturbances or nutritional deficiency. A comprehensive evaluation is needed to detect the cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
