A member asked:
Except citalopram and bupropion which antidepressants are safe to use on methadone therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: None are absolute contraindications. The interactions that your doctor might be concerned about would be sedation orthostatic (standing up ) effects, and EKG effects. And there is the question of what other medicines or drugs you are taking. Typically potentially interactions are handled by using low doses, and incrementing slowly. It would be a quetion picking the best for you.
