Hello,
Thank you for the query at HCM

Weight gain and excessive sleepiness can be a side effect of tryptomer. It could also be due to decreased thyroid hormone levels.
I recommend that you get the thyroid function test done since it has been 6 months since you stopped taking Eltroxin.
If Thyroid function test comes back normal, please follow up with your treating physician to see stopping tryptomer is right for you.

Hope I was able to help you
