> Had you ever considered Wellbutrin? Also are you taking any other meds that would interact with your psych meds?
--------------------My dad is on Zyban (same thing), so maybe I should ask him how it's going. I could stand to stop smoking, anyway.
> HOLY COW!! She ended up in the ER and was lucky she didnt have a intracranial bleed (STROKE)from the sky-rocking bllod pressure the combo of these drugs caused....pretty scary stuff...
----------------------I'm very cautious about what meds I take together. Before taking tegretol, I looked up all the info I could find on interactions, and printed out the CYP-450 enzyme info for it for my own investigations. I also stopped taking my other medication (imipramine) before starting it. The imipramine was for a dx of irritable bowel, but I'm finding that the tegretol alone does almost as good a job in managing that, as well as keeping my mind straight. A one med solution that doesn't interfere with my libido is a dream, and one that my current dr would never have suggested.
