Can Curcumin Supplement Be Taken While On Fluoxetine?

I m a 69 yr old female who would like to start taking turmeric curcumin 500 mg supplements. However I have had bowel obstruction surgery several years ago, I have taken fluoxetine for over 30 yrs and still continue taking it, and I have a hiatal hernia. I m also on high blood pressure and high cholesterol medication. Will I be able to take the turmeric curcumin supplement?
