New Effect

An interesting side effect of my increased oxcarbazepine dosage is that I get dizzy in the evenings.  Because each tablet is 300mg, I take one tablet in the morning and two tablets in the evening.  Apparently that double dose in the PM is enough for me to experience one of the lesser side effects.

While the dizziness is pronounced, it doesn't last that long: I'm usually feeling fine in about three-quarters of an hour.  However, that does mean that I have to make sure I take my evening dose only when I'm in a place where I can sit down for nearly an hour.  Still, I'll take a minor inconvenience once a day to my whole life being a mess most of the time.  I'm still very happy that I made the switch, is what I'm saying.
