Nsaids and celexa..?

I recently found out there is a interaction between naprosyn and celexa. it may cause gi side effects. Is this true about all nsaids and celexa? Also how severe can the gi side effects be? What if the pt has been on naporsyn for a while, and then takes celexa? Is there less of a chance?
Answer:
Both drugs can cause GI side effects, but they are different (naprosyn can cause irritation or ulceration, while celexa can cause nausea, rare cramps). There should not be a problem taking them together, assuming the patient is appropriate for both medications (normal renal and hepatic function, depressed, etc.).

Good luck!
