Anyone taken Yaz and Citalopram together? Feeling better OFF my anxiety med and confused

I’m just looking for experiences or insight, not medical advice (I am planning to talk to my doctor).

I was put on citalopram for anxiety and migraines that were triggered by anxiety. Around that same time, I was also dealing with bad hormonal acne and feeling really off the week before my period. I tried everything with a dermatologist and nothing worked. My GYN eventually put me on Yaz and my acne completely cleared up.

What I didn’t realize for a while is that somewhere along the way I became really irritable and kind of depressed. I didn’t feel like myself, but I couldn’t figure out why.

Recently I got sick and had to take azithromycin, so I temporarily stopped my citalopram because of the interaction risk. I’ve had some mild withdrawal symptoms, but weirdly… I feel more like my old self. I’m calmer. Not irritable. More bubbly. Things that would normally make my blood boil don’t phase me. I feel emotionally steady in a way I haven’t in a while.

Now I’m wondering if the Yaz + citalopram combo just wasn’t right for me? Or if my anxiety was more situational (I was in a very toxic relationship when I started the SSRI and was having daily migraines and panic attacks). I’m now in a much healthier relationship and in a better place mentally.

I’m scared to fully come off citalopram because I don’t want the panic attacks and migraines to come back. But I also don’t want to stay on something if I don’t need it.

Has anyone had mood changes on Yaz? Or felt better after coming off an SSRI once their life stressors changed? I’d really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences
