Citalopram can occassionally cause heavy periods so that maybe why you are now getting periods when you didn't before. I can't see anything in the product info which would indicate any sort of interaction making the implant less effective but if you are unsure then make an appointment to discuss it with your doctor.

shilly it is a reliable form of contraception but nothing is 100%. Poas. It's the only way to know.
char it's not coward what the effect of citalopram is on a foetus do they wouldn't recommend it while pregnant. It shouldn't affect your fertility either way. I agree if the bleeding is unusual and you have any concerns, ask your GP for advice.

I had implanon with citalopram for over a year together and don't believe there to be any risk of pregnancy.
