It's not advised: Unfortunately, alcohol has the potential to worsen the side effects of medication like celexa (citalopram). This includes sedation as well as problems with cognition (thinking) and motor function. While the effect may be small, it is impossible to predict how any one patient will respond. You should talk to your doctor for further guidance in this matter.

Something you should: Be asking the doctor you prescribed it. Drinking, even in "moderation" (and you don't say what that means) is not a good thing for people with depression or anxiety, which is why Celexa (citalopram) is prescribed. In addition, alcohol has potential drug interactions that can reduce the effectiveness of certain medications, including antidepressants. Does the prescriber know you are drinking?If not, they should.
