Influence of Oxycodone on Individuals Taking an SSRI

Summary

This study will determine whether selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) exacerbate opioid induced respiratory depression in patients initiating treatment for underlying conditions such as depression or an anxiety disorder. Next to paroxetine which has been evaluated in a previous study in healthy volunteers sertraline, citalopram and escitalopram will be evaluated with regards to its influence on opioid induced respiratory depression.
