I had a similar experience adding 2.5mg of aripiprazole to a high dose of Effexor. I had to stop my workout less than half-way through because I was totally exhausted, but in a very weird and uncomfortable way. I only took it for two days, but I've had a range of symptoms during that time that, retrospectively, kind of look like mild-to-moderate serotonin syndrome. (Aripiprazole is a 5HT-1A partial agonist, so it can contribute to serotonin syndrome, although this is probably rare.)
As I said, I stopped taking it after two days, because it clearly had terrible side-effects. But if it works for you, maybe slightly lowering the citalopram dose might help? Just a thought.
