Drugs that can decrease carbamazepine serum levels include charcoal, cisplatin, doxorubicin, felbamate, hydantoins, rifampin, phenobarbital, primidone, theophylline. The serum levels of oral contraceptives, haloperidol, bupropion, anticoagulants, felbamate, valproic acid, felodipine, tricyclic antidepressants, acetaminophen, ziprasidone, voriconazole, topiramate, tiagabine, olanzapine, and lamotrigine can be lowered by carbamazepine. 

Because bupropion is extensively metabolized, the coadministration of other drugs may affect its clinical activity. In particular, certain drugs may induce the metabolism of bupropion (eg, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin) while other drugs may inhibit the metabolism of bupropion (eg, cimetidine, ritonavir).

Answer B. Buspirone has selective anxiolytic activity that is slow in onset. The drug has no abuse liability and will not suppress withdrawal symptoms in patients who have become physically dependent on barbiturates, benzodiazepines, or ethanol. Bupropion is an antidepressant, also approved for management of dependence on nicotine. Baclofen is a spinal cord muscle relaxant that activates GABAg receptors. Buprenorphine is a long-acting opioid analgesic with no effectiveness in GAD, and phenobarbital is a barbiturate that may cause dependence. 

Carbamazepine decreases bupropion levels and increases the levels of its active metabolite hydroxybupropion. Phenobarbital and phenytoin are predicted to interact similar. The concurrent use of bupropion and valproate has led to increased levels of valproate and hydroxybupropion, and hallucinations have been reported in patients taking both drugs. Hypomania has been reported in a patient taking bupropion and lamotiigine.
