I would never, ever, tell someone to shut and go away. I was simply referring to fact that someone assumed that since tegretol and trileptal are related that there would be an interaction. But I wanted Marked to know that is not the truth. That's all.
Thanks for your good wishes. The same goes for you. :)

> Sorry to say, but (for me) one or tow people's experience on a drug is never enough to call it good. It's not even marginally science. If I told you I never ODed on Heroine nor became addicted, would you then conclude that it was safe for all of us and not take appropriate precautions?!! I hope not. The fact is, most contraindications are not black and white. You have to make a decision regarding your level of risk. I suspect you know all that though. I never proposed that I was providing you with "knowledge", just facts that seem to indicate a level of care is in order. I've done exactly that (taken it slowly) in other cases with drugs that were more clearly contraindicated (ex: MAOI's + stimulants) and been quite successful! But I've also ended up in the hospital 3 times in the last two years for combination of drugs that were NOT clearly contraindicated but still made me very physically sick. There is simply too much individual variation to accurately predict, all we can ever do is analyze the facts/stats/theories, determine the risk
