No, Citalopram is generic for Celexa (an antidepressant).
The generic for Yaz is Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol

no Celexa is the brand name for citaprolam and is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain, which helps to improve certain mood problems. Yaz is a combination of progesterone and estrogen which are hormones.
