No: If you have a mood or anxiety problem severe enough to be on antidepressants, it's a bad idea to smoke weed. Weed can give unpredictable results, including anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis in some. It can also worsen depression in some. There is no problem with participating in social situations while on Celexa (citalopram) -- and i hope you don't require weed smoking in order to be with your friends.
