I've taken Lovax 150 three times a day for two and a half years. Now, can I take it twice a day for a few months and then once a day? I haven't had any seizures since starting the medication. But now I feel heavy headed and have gas problems.

Have a query?

It’s important not to reduce or stop your Lovax 150 (Oxcarbazepine) dosage without consulting your neurologist, even if you have been seizure-free.
Feeling heavy-headed and experiencing gas can be side effects of Oxcarbazepine, which sometimes cause dizziness, tiredness, or stomach issues.
Your symptoms may be related to the medication, but adjusting the dose on your own could increase seizure risk. The medication needs to be tapered carefully under medical supervision to avoid breakthrough seizures.
