Welcome back!
I don't know about Naprosen, but the Prilosec shouldn't make a difference. I will see if I can find any information for you. If not, then ask your pharmacist. If the Naprosen makes you tired, then that could be what you feel as "more depressed".

It is my personal opinion and experience that it can. I have recently had to move from 20 mg of Prilosec to 40mg per day and I do feel it is bringing me down some more and adding to the sleepiness. I know most NSAIDS can make you feel tired. Can you take that at night? That might help some.
You might ask about raising the Zoloft or switching to something else.

Thanks for the advice Maxime & Midnightblue
I may discontinue the prilosec.
The reason my MD prescribed it was because I was worried about the upper GI trouble that Naproxen
and other Anti-Inflammatorys can cause.But Prilosec doenst protect...it just turns off the Acid????? How is that going to protect my stomach ????? I am going to ask the pharmacist
Thanks again guys for the reply
