Can Citalopram Damage The Ability To Produce Sperms ?

Hello... I have recently been told I have no sperm present in ejaculate. I have yet to have further testing but am worried. I am curious whether taking Citalopram (Zoloft) for almost 4 years (I stopped in April 2013) may have damaged my ability to produce sperm. Can you help or advise?
