A member asked:
I take oxcarbazepine for pain. can i take a 5 mg valium for the night muscle spasms it causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Oxcarbazepine and valium can be taken without high risk for interaction. In general, try to avoid benzodiazepines like valium because they lower the quality of sleep. Oxcarbazepine is not a typical first line choice for pain either.
