Hehe, Teg. does have a way of chilling one out doesn't it? Geez, I'm not sure the Teg or the Zoloft is the one causing the duhs for you. I had some serious word-finding problems taking any of them except Prozac. Effexor has the least liver interactions of the SRI AD's (from what I understand), but I'm sure you don't want to revisit that one again! The next one least likely to interact from what I recall probably would be Celexa or Lexapro (Celexapro! Cipralexa!). Prozac/Luvox/Paxil should have the strongest interaction with Tegretol. Generic citalopram probably would be the easiest route, however... you seem to sound a bit more cheerful on the Zoloft.. maybe just a dosage tinker is all you need? You're on 200mg Tegretol and 50mg Zoloft + Neurontin, right? -- Mitch
