Brief Answer:
some significant drug interactions possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.

Nexium can increase blood levels of dilantin and citalopram. Dose adjustments may be needed. This can increase the side effects of either drug.

vistaril, xanax, seroquel and valium can have additive sedative effects. Avoid heavy machinery work and driving with these drugs.

Citalopram and diclofenac have pharmacodynamic synergism and increase the risk of upper GI bleeding. Take the two drugs together only if absolutely necessary.

Kindly discuss this with your doctor.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
