This is so very interesting, thank you.
I am contemplating : brofaromide/neurontin mix,
I originally thought Moclobemide with Trileptal but am unaware of this mix (or subsequent info of patients trying it, or weather they are compatible..My doctor seems to think all antidepressents are not compatable with Tegretol (for example), but she seems misinformed)
Also I have considered Neurontin because of good feedback generally, and info.
Your post has awakened new insights.Moclobemide is freely obtainable as a prescription in Australia (where I am), i'll have to look into brofaromide's availabilty here.
