∙ 14y agoThere are two drug interactions between lexapro and oxycodone. The first is synergetic CNS depression. Both drugs depress the central nervous system and when you take them together they act in a synergetic manner. This means that heart rate, breathing, thought process, will all slow down. Also, there is some evidence to say that when oxycodone is taken with antiDs there is a possibility of serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome happens when the brain is flooded with serotonin and it is unable to get rid of it. SS is a potentially fatal condition, but to ease any concerns, it is very unlikely that it will occur at theraputic doses of both drugs take together. For that matter, even if you abused both it is still very unlikely. If you have any worries about serotonin syndrome you can research it on the internet (there is a ton of info on it). To conclude, it is, for the most part, a safe combination. CAUTION! If you abuse either medications or take large doses these side effects will be worse and can be life threatening. Please only use my knowledge as a basis for discussion with a licensed doctor).

Is it safe to take citalopram oxycodone neurontin atenelol and ambien on a daily basis in combination?
This combination is a complex one. Citalopram, as an SSRI, is often taken in combination with gabapentin (Neurontin), and atenolol. However, oxycodone (and Ambien) possess abuse potential, and should be discussed specifically and carefully with your prescribing physician.
Citalopram morphine and oxycodone drug interaction could you die?
taking morphine and oxycodone together yes. I hve been on pain meds all my life, my dr changed me recently from oxycodone (immediate release, pure form) to morphine.... he told me specifically not to take them both together nd to discontinue the morphine. anyways, citalopram is fine with morphine or oxycodone, ive been taken it for years with either drug, but it does really depend on the person, maybe i react differently as im pretty opoid tolerant. I dont take them both at the same time. i find taking citalopram 2-3 hrs before bed suits me best nd taking the morphine around that... for me on in the am, early afternoon, citalopram around 8pm then my final morphine before bed round 11. I think it would be a good idea to take your citalopram atleast 1hr before any opoid.
