Hello
Welcome here.
There can be a drug interaction between the two drugs. But i dont think the effect of morning after pill was reduced by citalopram. Rather antidepressants should have increased the effects of morning after pill.
I think you should consult a gynecologist.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
