NSAID's and SSRI's

NSAIDs may impair effectiveness of SSRIs.
The Wall Street Journal (4/26, Wang) reports that, according to a mouse and human study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Aleve (naproxen) and Advil (ibuprofen), appear to impair the effectiveness of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as Prozac (fluoxetine) and Celexa (citalopram).
