At this moment in present simple

hello, I have a question. I'm doing my homework about reported speech and I have to complete the sentence. "the psychologist asked ... (I/take) any antidepressants at that moment". I know "at that/this moment we mostly use in present/past continous but can it be with past/present simple? I assume the sentence is about taking meds not literally in this moment but in general.

Direct speech:
