Polytherapy is indicated in epilepsy when treatment with the different drugs individually has not had sufficient effect .It is usually recommended in those with severe epilepsy, or those who have several types of seizures and refractory seizures. In such cases the possibility of an alternative diagnosis should be ruled out. Topamax concentrations may be decreased significantly if it is used with Tegretol, decreasing it’s effectiveness. The effectiveness of Klonapin may be decreased if taken with tegretol .The mechanism may be related to induction of metabolism. The risk of CNS-depressant side effects, such as sedation and apathy, may be increased with this combination. Consult an expert neurologist. He may be able to suggest what is best for you. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
