Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Rexipra is the anti-depressant while Nexpro is antidepressant medicine generally both the drug are given together in case of gastric pathology if related with acid peptic disease and these combination gives excellent result no need to be confused about it. Even sling depressant could flair up the pathological condition (ulcer). So it is better to continue the given regime without fear.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
