I have been taking subs for about 8 months. About 3-4mg a day.

I also take 1.5mg klonopin a day. Have been for a couple of years.

For the last few months I have started to suffer from severe anxiety. Nonstop 24/7 anxiety! Klonopin no longer helps! I am in Hell!!! I feel like I am stuck in my body that no longer works. I cannot put into words how I feel.

I feel like if I keep going like this it might have a very bad ending.

I am sure I have some form of a mental illness yet I have no money and can't go to a doctor to get diagnosed. Even if I did come up with money to to to the doc I have lost faith in doctors and know one visit will get me nothing.

So I am thinking on trying to go back on my old antidepressant calexa. I still have quite a few of them. According to my doc I take them but I stopped about two years ago because of weight gain. They worked the first time I took them three years ago but I a much worse now! Every time I try to go back on the antidepressant ts now they don't work like before.

It was the biggest mistake of my life to just stop taking my antidepressant. My mental health has been going downhill ever since then!

I have looked up interactions between subs and antidepressants and don't see any but I'm wondering from people here what can I expect? I have taken oxy with antidepressants before and actually thought they made the oxy work better. I actually loved how the antidepressants at first would make me wake up way too early. Right now I can't make myself get out of bed for nothing. Even though I am nothing close to comfortable when I'm sleeping. I don't know the last time. Felt comfortable!

Can I expect the same with subs? Is there anything I need to know when taking subs and an antidepressant?

When I was taking oxy and Hydros with my antidepressant they were always really low doses. Like 30mg oxy at the most. Now I take 4mg subs. I know that's a lot stronger than 30mg oxy. Is there any chance of serotonin syndrome?

This is my only option right now. I need something that is going to stabilize my mood! I have came to the realization that Subutex is not an antidepressant and will not help my depression. I need to stop thinking it will help my depression and anxiety anymore. Also Klonopin is by no means the long term answer to my anxiety. It also takes away all my emotions and I don't care about anything.

God I wish I never used one drug! What started as a small Hydro habit has led to this.

Any other recommendations for someone who feels they are going insane and losing touch with reality for no reason?
 
SSRI antidepressants don't have any interactions with Suboxone that I am aware of. I take Effexor with Suboxone. You can't suffer serotonin syndrome from the combination as Subxone doesn't effect the serotonin receptors. Your right, Klonopin will not solve your problems. Benzodiazepines really can blunt your emotions. Try going back on the Celexa and see how you feel.
