I'm in the same boat at the moment but when I went on the cit in January I did lose a few kilos. I then had the implanon put in my arm and have now gained 6 kilos. Are you on any birth control? That could be the cause? I'm thinking off removing the implanon to see if it is really that as it has made me a little bit upset about the extra kilos.

I lost quite a lot of weight (around 3 stones) during reducing and stopping citalopram, some of it was due to feeling more positive and that I was taking control of my health and I improved my diet. I felt I had more energy/anxiety when reducing the dosage so was more active also.
Unfortunately I have put some weight back on, due to returning anxiety/depression and worse diet caused by stressful ongoing events, but not as much as when on the citalopram.
Citalopram has many effects on the body, you may find that the weight drops without having to do anything, but diet (low sugar/carbohydrate) and exercise will help it go quicker.
