Oh- good to know. So there is a distinction-I guess that's why I was able to have morphine while on Emsam. I think some drug guides perhaps are brief and seem to generalize, like saying "no opiates". ps- That morphine sure seemed to be anti-depressing.> Yes, codeine is an opiate but it's the synthetic opiates like tramadol and pethidine that can cause serotonin syndrome. I ran the combo through an interaction checker and it revealed no problems but not all interactions are documented and this may be an oversight. Some people have combined opiates with MAOIs without serious adverse effects. The most common side effect from the MAOI/opiate combo is hypotension.
