Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This is not serious condition at this point but if there will be progression of liver damage and GGt then it may be problematic so it would be good do check liver markers frequently, do ultrasound and avoid alcohol and hepatotoxic medications, however Citalopram is not one of these if taken in recommended dosage.

Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
