Hello doctors, i'm a 27 years old female. I had the 1st dose of cavity-19 sinopharm vaccine two days ago. I have severe depression and anxiety and take antidepressant escitalopram 10 mg and antipsychotic olanzapine 10 mg with it. Since I had the vaccine, I didn't take my medication thinking it would interact with the sinopharm vaccine. So my question is, is it okay to continue taking antidepressants and antipsychotic medicine after having sinopharm covid-19 vaccine?

Dear lybrate-user, it is perfectly okay to continue escitalopram and olanzapine during and after vaccination. There is no serious interaction between them. After restarting escitalopram, it may take 2-3 weeks to get full benefit.
