I responded to your other post but wanted to add here that there is no problem taking the two. I am bipolar and taking Parnate with trileptal. I am still titrating my dose up so to tell you the truth I can't say whether it is an effective MS or not! LOL!
And what I am going to say is NOT directed at you Marked. I just wish that if someone is unsure about something, then don't say anything at all on this forum. Just because tegretol and MAOIs are contraindicated does not mean that Trileptal and MAOIs are because the chemical properties are different. And one of the main reasons that people use Trileptal over tegretol is because there are less side effects and less drug to drug interactions.

I also find the site above helpful to check out drug interaction if I am thinking about asking my PDOC about a certain drug.
Good luck to you.
