Tremor: Some medications can trigger development of tremor, which usually resolves shortly after stopping the medication. Rarely, tremor can persist longer. Your tremors may still be resolving from celexa, (citalopram) but their development over 2 or 3 weeks after you stopped the drug decreases the likelihood of thisetiology. There are treatments for tremor to minimize its effect in your life as it hopefully resolves.

Neurology consult is worth considering.

Tremors: There may be another reason for your tremors rather than the discontinuation of celexa (citalopram). I would consult with your doc first. You may need to be referred to neurology as well.
