User Comments about Oxcarbazepine
29 Nov 2010 This drug has brought about positive changes. I take it around bed time and it helps me sleep. As long as I take it around the same time every night it keeps me mentally stable and I can operate throughout life effectively. I recommend taking it with food, as it can cause nausea and/or upset and queasy stomach. Also, do NOT take before operating heavy machinery, as it causes drowsiness.
