User Reviews for oxcarbazepine oral

I use this medicine everyday for my nocturnal seizures. I haven't had any major problems. One problem I had was dizziness. It also helped me sleep better too.

I've been taking 450mg of this medication twice/day for over 3 years and now my epilepsy is in remission. Have a few side efects though like hair loss and dry skin, but it is better to be seizure free.

Prescribed for bipolar.... made me worse.

I take this medicine for Trigeminal Neuralgia.I had to increase dosage from 300mg, to 400 mg and now I am taking 600mg each dose.

I am taking for MS that has caused pain down the left side of my face. It stops the pain but than I feel high and my legs lose all strength and I can't walk..

I have MS and Moyamoya. About a year ago I started to get wired seizures. I never convulsed or fainted, but I would freeze in my tracks ( could not move) while remaking totally conscious. And aware and could hear everyone but I could not communicate! So my Neurologist prescribed this med. shortly thereafter no more seizes! I don't recall any side affects, but I am on a host of other medications as well. Overall, I am thrilled to have found this drug! ,

I've only taken for a week but my pharmacist says I can no longer take my lexapro for depression. The oxcarbazepine is used for pain' mood stabilizer, & depression also which is a plus. So far no side effects.

was prescribed to me for "cluster headaches" behind the eye. Not effective

Watch out for hyponatremia. I have taken this medication for 6 years and have had trouble regulating my sodium levels. Its had me in the hospital with severe Hyponatremia now a total of 4 times, including two ambulance rides. Its not something they list for patients under side effects, only for doctors.

Like some of the other reviewers, if you take too much at one time you do feel loopy or dizzy. But that's just like any medication you take too much of. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was seven, had a partial temporal lobotomy at 14, went 11 years with no seizures and out of nowhere started having seizures again. I have been on Oxcarbazepine for about five years now and other than finding the right dosage, have had no problems. I have been on a lot of different medications from Tegretol to Dilantin. Since starting Oxcarbazepine this is the longest I have been on one medication and it has out performed any other medication. Read More Read Less

M doctor prescribed this medication to me for bipolor disorder. It takes some getting used to in the beginning of treatment. once your body adjusts to the drug my moods have never been more stabilized.

TAKE WITH ZANAX PRISTIQ BYPOLER

i take formood stabelizer bi polor disorder

Used as an add on with Lyrica to control flares. The reverse of what one typically reads where Lyrica is the add on. For me Lyrica is primary. I add on a 3 week course of oxcarbazepine and it materially knocks back the flare.

Apparently this medication waen to me for mood disorder. It also is somewhat slowing me down to be in the "now", I have better concentration.

doctor has given me this drug for headaches, sometimes works but usually wake up with headaches anyway, is this drug good for headaches, don't have any doctor that says I have seizures.

I do not like the burning sensation on my tongue.

i take this med for schizophrenia, i also have sever anxiaty, and bipolar, and deprestion. ive been on this med for ruffly 3 yrs now and MOST the time it works, HOWEVER, if ANYTHING changes my reutine, im thrown into a frinzy!! It has NOT stopped me from "seeing" things but it does help. This med makes things more tolarable
