Brief Answer:
No significant interactions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I am Dr Aslam here to help you.

Thanks for your query.

There is no significant interactions between sertaline and rivaroxaban(Xarelto).Usually these two can be combined together safely.Also,no significant interaction with alprazolam(xanax),though sertaline may make us more sensitive to xanax.

Anyhow,sertaline is not to be taken without a prescription.Besides any drugs taken together,it need consideration of many other factors like a detailed medical history,previous psychiatric history,your social and occupational status etc.

Hope I have answered your query.If you have further questions,I will be happy to help.

Wishing you good health,Thank you.
