I would not automatically say YES in this situation. Celexa is a SSRI Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor; which may cause drowsiness. Methadone is a synthetic narcotic, which

(Besides being used for pain at the Spinal Cord level, & Used to treat Heroin addict) is a Central Nervous System Depressant.

I've seen the combination of the two, medicines, cause many a person, to fall into deep sleep cycles, which they will wake up for only to eat, drink and use the bathroom. They become listless, depressed, and having not brought this to their Doctors' attention, might attempt suicide.

I would suggest anyone on Methadone, discuss their feelings with their MD and other doctors. Let them know how you feel after 4 weeks

(Which is the length of time it takes Celexa to become effective.)

When should you take Celexa if you take xanax at night?

Usually, Celexa is prescribed to be taken in the mornings. Many people do take it though at night because it may make you tired. Xanax and Celexa can be taken together. The only side effect is that you'll sleep better. I use to take Celexa and Xanax all the time with no problems! Peace! -Matt

Are Suboxone and Methadone going to show up as the same medication in a 12 panel Non - DOT drug test?

Suboxone will not but the methadone will show as an opiate. I would give the methadone a good four days to get out but keep taking your suboxone so you dont get sick. i have been on probation taking u.a.'s for about a year and have been on suboxone for the same amount of time. I take a sub the morning of my test and it shows clean everytime. just quit the methadone and you will be fine!

Yes, this is OK. Remember, though, that your mood disorder makes you more likely to be addicted to things. Be careful with Vicodin because it is habit forming. Take it just as the doctor said and don't take extra.
