I was prescribed this drug for bipolar. The drug has not worked at all, I have already gotten low sodium once & almost ended up in the hospital after vomiting every hour for 24 hours straight. The drug gives me muscle tremors in my hands and eyes, nausea, constipation, blurry vision, severe abdominal pain for up to 10 hours straight & multiple times now. Headaches, eye pain, back pain.

I was prescribed this drug for bipolar. The drug has not worked at all, I have already gotten low sodium once & almost ended up in the hospital after vomiting every hour for 24 hours straight. The drug gives me muscle tremors in my hands and eyes, nausea, constipation, blurry vision, severe abdominal pain for up to 10 hours straight & multiple times now. Headaches, eye pain, back pain. So many side effects, Just waiting to tell my psych to take me off and put me back on depakote. She tried this drug on me so I wouldn't have to go get blood tests monthly from the depakote. I'm also, only, on ½ mg of Suboxone twice a day. I haven't noticed any interactions other than the severe constipation & abdominal pain, it also made my top front teeth go numb after dosing, for the first month. Still happens from time to time. I can't wait to get back on depakote, it's the only thing that's ever worked for my bipolar disorder. Unfortunately...means I have to go get blood drawn monthly to monitor my liver cell count, I think so anyways. Hope this helps.

I take this medication for bi-polar disorder. It has worked wonders. There was a little dizziness in the first month but quickly changed.

I use this for bipolar disorder and it is the best medicine I have used. Caused drowsiness the first 2 weeks but that went away. THE BEST!

So far I love this drug! I use it for my MS Hug, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Migraines, and probably my mood after all that! I was in such stabbing pain, and I know it works due to being able to feel when its time to take another one. My side effects-hands shaking much worse than before, some anxiety but not every day or all day, and I need a 15 minute nap around 2pm. I will take those willingly, to not ... Show Full Comment

So far I love this drug! I use it for my MS Hug, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Migraines, and probably my mood after all that! I was in such stabbing pain, and I know it works due to being able to feel when its time to take another one. My side effects-hands shaking much worse than before, some anxiety but not every day or all day, and I need a 15 minute nap around 2pm. I will take those willingly, to not have the lightning bolts in my head, and feel like I'm being suffocated by my loving MS partner. So thank you Oxycarbazepine!

The drowsiness caused by this medication caused me to get into an accident. This drug should be banned.
