I've taken Neurontin and Tegretol before, but not in a way that would be scientifically meaningful. I took Neurontin for a short time. It was prescribed experimentally by a neurologist whom I saw due to "restless leg syndrom" (or something that resembled it). It was like taking a sugar pill. I could take handfulls of it (the RLS was agonizing) and not even notice.When I took tegretol, it was only for a few days. I had checked myself into a detox program (I had been using alcohol and opiates to alleviate depression). They wouldn't let me have my Xanax (which I had been taking as prescribed for six months, and which I was *not* abusing) so they put me on tegretol so I wouldn't have seizures. Parenthetically, when I left that place, and asked for my bottle back, I found that the staff had been eating my Xanax.
