My doctor prescribed me ispaghula husk due to constipation as i take anitidepressants every night.should i take it after or before having antidepress?

Some effect: On certain antidepressants. Using psyllium(ispaghula husk) with your pills, can decrease the blood levels of antidepressant medications known as tricyclics(which include Amitriptyline, doxepin, imipramine.) If you take this type of medication you may want to revisit taking the fiber supplement at a different time as your antidepressant.
