In reply to Coffee and SSRI?, posted by FSU Ralph on January 19, 2002, at 17:21:44
> Anyone drink coffee to offset the drowsiness effect of their AD? Does it work? Normally I have to be careful because coffee causes panic attacks for me, but since Celexa is supposed to prevent them now, I should be ok right?
I drink coffee every single day with SSRIs. It causes no problems for me whatsoever. None. I love coffee and find that drinking some coffee in the morning makes me so I can focus a little better.
Another good thing about drinking coffee regularly while on SSRIs is that the coffee might help offset some of the dopamine depletion said to occur with longterm SSRI usage. As coffee mildly increases dopamine levels. Heavy coffee drinkers have lower rates of parkinsons disease.
