It doesn't tend to interfere with most other psychoactive medications, either (it's often used to augment other stabilizers that aren't effective alone).

Thanks for answering.
Could you describe your positive experience with Tegretol more in depth ? (like how long have you been depressed before that, how long did it take to work, which kind of symptoms it took away and such...if you don't mind of course).
I know everyone's different, what worked for you might not work for me, etc...still, a positive story, (even partially positive ) would help immensely.Thanks again
