A member asked:
I am about to start methadone for a herion addiction. will it make me tired and depressed? what antidepressants are safe to take while on methadone?

Discuss w/ provider: Fatigue does appear to be a frequent complaint and some mood effects are reported, but not depression (major?) specifically. Most anti-depressants warn about risky interaction w/ Methadone but leave it up to the provider to determine how to deal w/ the issue. So, make certain to have a good conversation w/ your provider and work together on decisions about treatment. You can succeed! Best wishes.
