Use w/ some caution: Both citalopram and the anti-inflammatory drugs you listed (ibuprofen, naproxen) are associated with an increase in bleeding risk. A person taking a couple doses of the anti-inflammatory usually has nothing to worry about if they have no history of bleeding. Otherwise, it’s best to let your doctor weigh in. If self-treating pain (headaches, aches) or mild fever, paracetamol may be a better bet.

Drug interactions.: If elderly with renal or liver issues, you could increase risk for bleeding. Risk would normally be small.

Probably safe: Ibuprofen or naproxen taken with food at recommended doses are quite safe for short term use in most people- unless you have had ulcers or similar stomach problems or kidney disease. Do not combine with aspirin
