Celexa or citalopram hydrochloride is an antidepressant and has nothing to do with the brain aneurysms. Kindly consult your doctor and discuss the reason for prescribing it. Mood swings is one of the side effects of this drug. If you are not suffering from depression you can discontinue the drug by reducing dosage gradually which has to be done under the supervision of your doctor.
