Sertraline (Zoloft) and Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
No increase in carbamazepine levels
ReferencesRapeport WG, et al. Absence of a sertraline-mediated effect on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of carbamazepine. J Clin Psychiatry. 1996;57 Suppl 1:20-3
Also, to further complicate matters...tegretol actually lowers Zoloft but has mixed effects on Zoloft's active metabolite. The picture isn't clear enough for me to interpret using my vitual liver software. At least you can be sure the Tegretol level is unaffected..
