I'd personally drop the celexa. When I was that age, everybody was on an AD and it didn't work. One of my friends was on celexa (I think it was new then), and he'd just save them up and snort them or pop them when he got stoned. I have no idea if it did anything or not, but that's about how useful my friends and I found AD drugs at that age.
I think maybe some counseling, family counseling, that kind of thing, to get him to get out of his room and maybe reduce or give up marijuana on his own, instead of making the marijuana use the central issue. You could also see about doing things in church, if this kid's family is religious. That often helps.
