Mixed meds?

[wtfnext]

Ok so I was recently prescribed Celexa for depression/OCD and I already take some other meds, I wa wondering if they are ok to mix, because I have been getting an upset stomach since.  I was already taking Oxy, naproxen, flexaril, emtec, ranitidine, xenical and sometimes Arbil and Tylenol, does anyone know if these are all ok together?  Thanks!

Sometimes docs are good at catching things - however, if you were to take your list to your local pharmacist, he/she could double check it with you (I know my psych doc as a computer program he runs the meds through to make sure they don't conflict).  Upset stomach (as mentioned) can be just a side effect of the medication (Celexa made me feel out of it, so I opted out).

Don't be discouraged either - it can take a few antidepressants, but you want to give them a fair shot before changing too.

Yes I do take a lot of meds but they were mostly prescribed to me.  I assumed that they were all fine since I have 1 dr and 1 pharmacy so I assume the professionals are tracking but was curious of any side effects of mixing them all.

Your stomach upset may be due to celexa.  Abdominal pain (stomach pain), Indigestion or heartburn, and Diarrhea are possible side effects of citalopram (celexa).  If you're unsure about the drug interactions, you can call your physician or pharmacist.

I know that it's not good to take with Advil and can cause internal bleeding but not sure about the others. I'd check with your doctor if symptoms persist
That seems like quite a lot of meds to be mixing. Best wishes!
