What Are Opioids? or Methadone and Lexapro?

Question by john: what are opioids? or methadone and lexapro?
what are opioids? i’m very distressed because someone i live with has an opioid history.

i don’t even know what opioids are, but he’s currently prescribed methadone and lexapro. is he potentially dangerous?

i just found out.
EDIT: i think that he’s still using something. he’s advocating drug usage on the internet and doing strange things at home here. and getting into a lot of unsafe accidents.
EDIT: i don’t have access to his doctor. he doesn’t give me his medical information. i found these things out by reading things that he’s written over the internet.

Lexapro is an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety pill. Methadone is generally prescribed to people who once had an addiction and no longer do. I wouldnt be too concerned about it.

Talk to his doctor & let him know that the methadone is to strong for him.
