Beau's lines: Those ridges on nail beds are caused by injury, infection, low calcium , skin disease, some chemotherapy drugs, or malnutrition. I am not aware of Celexa (citalopram) being cause of this.

No evidence.: I am unaware of any evidence that citalopram would be associated with the development of beau's lines. Chemotherapeutic agents, trauma to the nailbed and nutritional deficiencies can be associated.
