Not so far as I know.  There was 1 or 2 people posting here a year or so
ago who used either multi-vitamins or Calcium tablets as well as their
medications. (I don't know if they took them at the same time though, or at
a different time during the day.)
  I don't have the message thread up here at the moment from 2-3 days ago?
But someone posted about using Tums (upset stomach remedy) that was high in
Calcium? or another ingredient. I might be mis-remembering why they were
taking that without looking back at my Medications posts folder. I would
tend to lean toward Calcium tablets (vitamins) as a supplement, rather than
another 'medicine' that wasn't designed or recommended by my Doctor for
mixing with Tegretol.
  (I also assume you might have seen a post I did a few days ago to avoid
Grapefruit?  Apparently one of the acids in its juice interferes with
Tegretol, that's not in other citrus juices or drinks.)
  I found my Pharmacist an excellent source for information like above too.
They have the scripts that come from the Med. Manufacturers so can check for
potential conflicts for you.  Mine added the advisory to their printouts,
about Grapefruit, when I took her a copy of a posting I printed from here or
from the uk group that I used to read also at the time.
  You're probably also using one of the Controlled Release Tegretols?
(Tegretol CR or XR, Retard in the UK)   Since they rarely prescribe straight
Tegretol now for seizures, I often use that word by itself, assuming that
we're talking about one of those. (They might prescribe Tegretol olde still
for people with heart conditions or who've had problems with strokes -- but
I'm not a Doctor.)   G./

 Another thing that might be further down this message thread, but my
Tegretol prescription said to tell all Doctors and Dentists I was using it.
My Dentist changed my recall rate from each 6 months to each 4.  He said
that with some people Tegretol can rob Calcium from their bones, and it
would first become evident in their Tooth Health.
  I haven't had more than previous Dental problems, but since I drink
almost No Milk, I'll try to remember to ask my Neurologist when I next see
him.  (He wants to see me after about 6 years, before he'll renew my
Tegretol prescription that will run out about Dec. 26th.  I expect there is
some period of time, within which he has to see me to renew prescriptions,
to keep him 'active' as my Neurologist, and he may not be able to bill for
time it takes him to Return calls to the Pharmacy to confirm the Renewal
he's had to do each 100 days since 1995.   There have been some changes in
the last year with respect to our socialized medicines, so I might find out
if I see him by then, what the reason for a recall was. I figured if it
wasn't broken, it shouldn't be fixed.  Since I haven't had a seizure since
Mid-1998, and haven't needed a dose change over that period, as I frequently
did from 1993 to 97, I thought that I should stay on the dose amount I
currently use.)  Time will tell.  G,/

Strange, I've  never known any food or drink to "induce seizures" other
than caffeine in tea and coffee, alcoholic drinks, and Gordon tells us how
grapefruit juice can have some bad effects.

I personally take most of my beverages without any sugar or sweetener
though, but I do know that honey is double as sweet, and half the calories
of sugar if you'd like to try that as a substitute - I learn't that after
substituting it for sugar in my porridge.

Sorry I can't be of any further help, but somebody else on the
newsgroup may know.

Take care

But ask your Doctor.
