I have been on both for years. The Ibruprofen and other powerful painkillers in very large daily dosages for spinal problems. I get regular across the board blood tests because of this and no problems so far. If you are worried go back to your Doctor. However I am sure you will be OK.

I have known many people on citalopram who have also been on long term ibuprofen, none of them have ever had any problems. I hope this alleviates your fears slightly :hugs: xx
