thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com.....

well oxetol is oxcarbazepine....oxcarbazepine is associated with acidity and diarrhea/constipation commonly....headache can also be associated, mostly after taking the dose...memory loss is rare but weight gain can be associated, though not as much as like valproate....tell me whether you are taking any other medicine alongside...and that can present with the above side effects...

hope this was useful...
contact me for any further queries....
