Risk vs. benefits: Citalopram is fda pregnancy category c drug. Prospective comparative study show citalopram use during embryogenesis is not associated w/apparent major teratogenic risk in humans. However, citalopram should be given in pregnancy and particularly in 3rd trimester, only if potential benefits outweigh risks. http://www.depressionforums.org/forums/topic/3138-celexa-use-in-pregnancy-relatively-safe/.
