You could contact the national blood service on 0845 7 711 711
I called them for you. Apparently you can donate with these medications but you have to tell the nurse at the reception.
Good luck

Unfortunately you can't donate blood while you are on these medications. I'm on anti-depressants and other drugs and looked into blood donation and was told that I could not give it.
