Tegretol (carbemazepine) is not a hallucinogen, alas. It's a pretty
mundane prescription for bipolar/hypomania. Interestingly enough, you
can't take it with grapefruit juice and if you take too much, it causes
drowsiness. I stuck around for about a half hour after the meeting
broke up walking around the Willow House grounds and drinking coffee
until I felt I was OK enough to drive home. I was still seeing
kind of cross-eyed though, and that made for an interesting drive. =)
