I suppose there could be two different meanings on this expression.
① It could be used when it was required to emphasis on the subject.
私ときたら、 => Regarding myself,
There is actually no exact translation for "~ときたら" in English.
But if I have to translate, I would do it into something like examples below.
<example>
彼女は一日中勉強しっぱなしです。
She has been keep studying whole day.
>彼女ときたら、一日中勉強しっぱなしです。
Regarding her, she's been studying whole day.
About her, she's been studying whole day.
②~と来たら(~ときたら) come with ~
私ときたら => why don't you come with me.

NOTE: Since the question sentence has been written with only Hiragana (without Kanji), It is high possibility that the questioner's sentence had been quoted from a sentence type of example sentence①.

That's nonsense. "Watashi to kitara" means "if you come with me"

と来たら (( ときたら )) means: when it comes to ...; concerning; where ... are concerned
