Thank you for your question! I have been on Prozac (20mg daily) since 2014 in addition to my Crohn's medication. I was on azathioprine until 2015, then was on Stelara, and now Entyvio, and all have been ok while taking Prozac.
I would consult with your doctor and make sure you ask all of the questions necessary to make you comfortable with taking a medication they prescribe. Please keep us posted on how you progress!

Best of luck
