Is it ok to take cipralex while on methadone?

[Electra1982]

Cipralex is an anti-anxiety pill. Escitalopram belongs to the group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It works by increasing levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. Increased serotonin levels can lead to an improved mood.  I was prescibed this for my anxiety by my family doctor although I'm not sure if I should take this if I will **** dirty at the meth clinic.

Hi,
If you read the first response at the top you will see that KiaKaha wrote that it's ok to take methadone and Cipralex together.  I'm so glad I came on this website cuz I also didn't know if it was ok cuz ONE of my doctor's said that you CAN'T(my methadone doctor)take it and my family doctor said that you CAN!!  So, I was confused as well but they came to an agreement together that I just stay on both the methadone and the cipralex.

The person above said citalopram, that's celexa not cipralex. Don't believe everything you read online... do your research first

My doctor is not a very good doctor and he's going to proscribe me my old medication i was on a while ago which I found to help but I don't know if he would look it up before I go on it.

I was wondering If it's OK to go on Cipralex and methadone together? Because I can not find any information on any websites to answer my question.

These are questions you need to be asking your doctor we dont have one here .

You should inform the Meth clinic that you've been prescribed these before taking them. There should be no problem, but it's best to be proactive.

My hubby's been on the methadone programme for the last two years. He was originally taking Fluoxetine (Prozac) But they changed him to Citalopram about 6 months ago. No worries taking it while on methadone.

That's not the same drug, citalopram is celexa, not cipralex.
