Hi,welcome to healthcaremagic forum.
Citalopam usually will not interfere with implanon contraception.Both of them can be safely used together.
However,if you have pregnancy symptoms,pregnancy has to be ruled out.You pleas do a urine pregnancy test.It usually become positive after 2 weeks of missing the period,if pregnant.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
