Does regular marijuana use lower the effectiveness of Citalopram?!

Question: Does regular marijuana use lower the effectiveness of Citalopram?

I've been taking Citalopram for about 2 weeks now for depression. I vaporize almost every night before I sleep as a way to unwind after the day and to help me fall asleep. I haven't noticed anything bad in mixing the two yet but I would greatly appreciate any input (preferably a licensed physician with experience with Citalopram). Thanks

P.S. Please don't lecture me on the negative effects of Marijuana, I'm old enough to make my own decisions.

Answers:

All good bro! MaryJane will not effect citalopram usefullness at all. I Have taken Citalopram for 2 years now and it made a huge difference for me after about a month. Stick with it for sure, because citalopram works. MJ use and citalopram do not interact badly in my 2 years of actual experience with both.

Well I'm not going to lecture, but marijuana has been connected with depression ... sometimes suicide. ... so if you're taking meds for depression, I`d say you`re kinda defeating the purpose.

psychology class/topic of my paper.

I have no clue, but mixing chemicals is dangerous.
