Hello

Oxcarbazepine side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, eye problems, such as double vision, blurred vision, or cataracts

Problems with walking and coordination (unsteadiness); these are mixed symptoms of anxiety depression syndrome and is a separate entity.

Please visit a clinician for further evaluation and management. Please ask your doctor if your Oxcarbazepine dosage needs to be adjusted. He may get oxcarbazepine level checked along with your sodium levels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
