A member asked:
Can you take narcotics with anti-anxiety and anti-depressants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it is prescribed: specifically by your doctor, then the answer is yes. The danger of self-medicating with these substances is the potential cumulative and synergistic effect with potentially serious or life-threatening side-effects.
