Hi. I would like to know if coffee interacts or alters the absorption of any psychiatric med.

Anti-psychotics seem to nullify caffeines effect.

You mean potentiates the effects of caffeine.

I still get a caffeine kick, and I'm on 10mg of abilify. When I was on geodon, I would get the jitters from coffee, but not the alertness. It was bad!
this is all personal observation, mind you...

The Luvox interaction is strange but true for me when I took it years ago. One coffee equals about 5 to 6 cups.
Not nice, unexpected trips to the loo if you actually make it in time!! Coffee turned the morning train into a non stop express!!
