| add = risperidone
| info =
* Carbamazepine is principally metabolized by CYP3A4 (also CYP2C8), but is also a potent inducer of CYP1A2, CYP3A4 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.* Risperidone is principally metabolized by CYP2D6 to an active metabolite.* This combination of drugs may have possible synergistic effects. However, the pharmacokinetic drug interactions will influence the plasma levels. Dose adaptation will be recommended for this combination.
| start =
* Coadministration with carbamazepine may decrease the plasma concentrations of risperidone and its pharmacologically active metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone.
* Risperidone should be given at higher dosage to control psychotic symptoms. <ref name="drugscom">

* Pharmacologic response and plasma risperidone levels should be monitored more closely whenever carbamazepine is added to or withdrawn from therapy. <ref name="aricarb"> {{Pubmed|19934718|Strack DK et al.
