@ start, when stable: Sodium levels are checked prior to starting oxcarbazepine to note your normal level typically once you reach your stable or effective dose. Report symptoms that may be associated with low sodium such as nausea, headache, or fatigue, as your doctor may decide to draw a level then too. Your body does a good job of maintaining its levels at normal on its own. Maintain recommended levels of hydration.
