Which medication to be taken for anxiety as i am on methadone therapy for over ten years?
human
I have been on methadone therapy for over 10yrs for chronic pain, two years ago I had a medical emergency and have been having anxiety and panic attacks ever since. I am 35 yrs old and a Nurse and it's important that I am in good health physically and emotionally. I would like to start taking medication for my anxiety but it seems almost everything interacts in one way or another with the methadone...please help?

HiThanks for using healthcare magicu can take any antidepressants with methadone. Antidepressanr like SSRIs which include Escitalopram, paroxetine, Fluoxetine, Sertraline  are safer. U can discuss this with ur psychiatrist and he/she could prescribe any antidepressant of his choice.Thanks
