Question : I take fluoxetine (prozac) 40mgs 1x a day for the past 10 years or so. I recently started a diet (to lose approx. 50lbs of weight gained after my daughters birth 5 years ago), and one of the supplements is Matcha Green Tea Powder. I dont know if prozac can be taken with this? The dietitian wasn't aware, and my GP is away for the month of August. I am 43yrs old.

Hello
Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concerns.

As far as I know, No SSRI (including Prozac) interact with green tea powder.
