I’ve had this, not with Citalopram though it was with fluoxetine.. it felt like an electric current zooming through my brain which I could also hear, it was weird!

Cymbulta only lasted 3 hours in my system so withdrawal was a daily occurrence.

I'm on other medication but when I didn't take it for two days running I had the same symptoms as you.

Thank you everyone! I checked also with my doctor and she said it's withdrawal symptoms for sure.
