Hi,I can understand your concern regarding the lump on your hard palate. It is highly unlikely that it is due to citalopram. Citalopram  is not reported to cause any such side effects.Your lump can be purely incidental. You should seek a otorhinolaryngologist (ENT doctor) consultation for evaluation of the lump and initiate treatment accordingly. Simultaneously, you should continue taking citalopram as advised bu your doctor for depression.Hope that answers your query. Best wishes.
