In reply to Parnate and Trileptal - why the clash?, posted by Maxime on February 8, 2006, at 16:54:15

> In 2002 I started what I call a miracle drug - parnate. I was so happy that got rid of my depression and that it wasn't known for pooping out.

> According to 2 psychopharmacologists, trileptal is believed to be the culprit in reducing Parnate's efficacy on me. Neither of them really explained why. Does anyone here know?
>
> They tried to take me off the Trileptal in the hospital, but I went hypomanic and psychotic. But I think it's because they took me off it so quickly. I would be willing to wean off the trileptal if it meant that Parnate would work for me again.

>Cant tell ya why,but what i can tell you is Tegatrol,you know before they changed its name to trileptal to keep the patent and money was one of the shortest lived combos i tried,i dident like it from day one,and dont think i ever thought twice about trying it again,blah they dident work great for as a team.
Hope that helps even a tiny smudge.
