A member asked:

When taking fluoexitine for depression/ anxiety, is it okay to drink one cup of coffee a day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes caffeine has: little effect on your depression anxiety problem, though a lot of it can trigger some shakes since it is a mild stimulant. Though I would make sure to keep taking your Fluoxetine regularly without stop. Most of the time Fluoxetine takes at least 4-6 weeks to have a veritable effect.
