Do all ssri's raise tegretol levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: So the short answer is yes, but different SSRIs inhibit different parts of the bodies drug breakdown mechanism. Thus, some will increase the levels more than others. Also everyone is a bit different. It is like that lexapro (escitalopram) has the least interactions in this way.
