Drug interactions: "Using oxyCODONE together with citalopram can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome" (http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=679-335,72-1135)

Yes: The two are safe together. However keep in mind that celexa (citalopram) may cause worsening depression initially and if so, need to let doctor know. As far as the Percocet, I suggest being very careful and use only if needed and for the shortest period of time. May be habit forming, has many side effects, including bad mood, constipation( which may aggravate your back pain), incr. sensitivity to pain.
