I haven't had that problem with Citalopram (CeleXA) but I did have it when I was on Cymbalta (Duloxetine).
If I didn't take it right away, I felt like my head was floating above my body and had electricity-like pulses in my head, hands, arms, shoulders. I tried to take it for about 2 months before I went on Lamictal (Lamotrigine, used mostly for seizures but works on depression). Then later onto Citalopram which has been one for me that works and doesn't cause electric pulses. My doctor then added Buproprion (Wellbutrin) and I'm doing better than ever. At least until I realize I'm short of money.
But if you are having issues like this, it was a good thing your doctor took you off of it. There are so many medications out there but it takes time to find the right ones. One person's medications does not always work the same in someone else. Hope this helps.
