Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related doubts

Methadone is an opioid drug and you should take the drug with proper prescription only. You have PTSD and MDD and for proper management you have to consult a psychiatrist for help.

Drugs like SSRIs are used in treatment of PTSD and MDD. Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Escitalopram are approved drugs for management of MDD and PTSD. The drugs are safe to use and have no serious side effects. You should see a psychiatrist for prescription.

Thanks and Take care

Please let me know if you need more assistance.
