Brief Answer:
Yes it can be taken safely under supervision

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

There are no studies which suggest there is any interaction between hcg and above mentioned psychiatric medications. At the same time hcg do not act on the cytochrome enzymes responsible for metabolism of wellbutrin and celexa so I think they can be taken under supervision of expert.

HCG diet is somewhat controversial in its usefulness to reduce weight and it was intended for seriously obese individuals at high risk for serious health issues because of their weight. After all, it's not about being skinny, it's about being healthy and that need to be considered before following any diet plan.

To conclude you can follow HCG diet along with adderall, celexa and wellbutrin.

I hope you got your answer and if you have more queries feel free to write back to me. I will be glad to help you.
Thanks and regards
Dr Ashok Kumar
