> Any experience out there with tegretol/parnate interaction? Literature all screams DONT, but I've also heard it is overstated. Also, it doesn't say why not to - i.e., does it affect the level of tegretol as many things do, (which I can manage), or does it lead to hypertensive crisis?

I take Nardil (6x15mg p.d.) with 1/2 400mg CR Tegretol in the morning and 1 400mg CR Tegretol at night.
The objective was to reduce the amount of Lithium I was taking (3)and replace most of it (I still take 1 250mg Li at night)with the Tegretol.
It has worked well for me. Certainly NO hypertensive crisis!
