It's not formally contraindicated for people being treated for depression or anxiety, but mood changes have been part of the broader safety conversation around this medication class, so providers typically ask about mental health history and monitor mood alongside physical symptoms during treatment. Being open with your provider about your mental health history and current treatment allows this to be factored into monitoring rather than treated as a blanket yes or no.
