Chery, you need to post this in the Drugs Forum. You'll get your answer a lot quicker there.

I used it, briefly, but I was unable to tolerate the side effects. I get all the side effects, all the time. It does get frustrating, sometimes.
The good news is that this (oxcarbazepine) is the improved version of Tegretol (carbamazepine). It's supposed to work just as well, but produces fewer side effects....just not few enough for me. Lar |

Thanks Blackdragon. I have been on it for a couple days now and although I usually have to take a nap late afternoon from the drowsiness it I can see it is helping with my Bipolar already. I am doing 150mg twice a day and next week I am going too increase it. Another thing I noticed with it though is that "antsy feeling I am having but hey I will take that over the low lows.
