A member asked:
I recently quit opiates after 6mo use. could this be why i'm treatment resistant (added anxiety) when startn 1st line meds like ssri/buspar for gad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, I think so.: So glad you've quit the opiates. Your body will thank you eventually. I know less about the chemical basis for resistance than the psychological. Quitting opiates is emotionally hard. My pain patients are often terrified to even consider it. They get extremely anxious and since it is reality based, it remains even in the face of medications. Try talk therapy (cbt) to manage the anxiety. Best!
