Have you thought to try Trileptal (oxcarbazepine). It is a sister drug of Tegretol (carbamazepine) that does not have pharmacokinetic interaction issues with other drugs. It also does not carry the risk of agranulocytosis. Trileptal may not be as anxiolytic for you as Tegretol, but it might actually provide a more potent antidepressant effect. The only drawback of using Trileptal is that some people lose too much sodium and develop hyponatremia. I had no problem with it.
