Oxcarbazepine is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizing drug, used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy. It is also used to treat anxiety and mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder.

I did come across a brief article on the topic of using this medication for mental issues, however, it has not been as heavily studied as other similar drugs:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17376019

I know this isn't necessarily the type of review you may be looking for, but I thought some information would still be more helpful than none at all.

I found myself stumbling upon a few reviews by running a google search for "oxcarbazepine bipolar reviews".

I hope this helps!
