Can Coffee Be Taken Along With Bupropion And Fluoxetine?

I just added my 150mg bupropion xl prescription to my 20mg fluoxetine this morning...I am a coffee drinker; wondering if I can have my usual coffee? Even though depression is more my problem currently than anxiety/panic, I have a history of panic attacks & OCD...don't want to be too amped up! Thank you...

Hello
Excessive coffee intake can trigger panic attacks or anxiety.
Usual 1-2 cups of coffee are safe. But avoid excessive coffee drinking.

Continue bupropion as well as fluoxetine as advised by your doctor.
There is no interaction of fluoxetine or bupropion with coffee.

Hope this helps.
Thanks
