I take 20 mg of citalopram every day. Is it contraindicated to drink coffee or matcha tea?

There is no direct contraindication between taking citalopram and consuming coffee or matcha. However, it is important to be cautious because the caffeine in these beverages can be a stimulant, potentially exacerbating symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, or agitation that may be treated with citalopram. It's best to be aware of how caffeine affects your specific condition and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
