Can I change CITEXT fields to VARCHAR without encountering any surprise difficulties?

I went overboard on CITEXT fields on a particularly large table in my application. I would like to back some of these out as it's confusing how to trigger lookups on the desired indexes.



My question is, can I do this without encountering any major difficulties? And if I change this, do I need to rebuild any indexes on those fields?



Will there be any space gains from moving in this direction?



This is Postgres 10.6.
