Can drinking tea and/or herbal tea interact with my birth control pill (Lolo) or my antidepressant (Escitalopram)?

Hello Ma'am,
Drinking tea does not decrease the effectiveness of the contraceptive.
Some teas and herbal teas may make you feel a little more agitated and cause the escitalopram to work differently. For example, if it's taken for anxiety, you might feel a decrease in effectiveness (an increase in anxiety).
That said, it's not really an interaction between the two. More like the simple effect of theine.
Happy day,
Alexander
