Hi all,

ive recently began taking Citalopram 6 days ago. I'm aware that many side effects can come along with the adjustment at the beginning. I am reaching out in hopes that some others may be able to validate that the burning/sensitive skin and muscle twitching may be due to the new medication? It seems to be worse at night when my anxiety has been heightened. Thank you in advance!

      thank you for the reply. -i've also had an increase in urine frequency, as if i feel like i continuously have to, but my bladder is nearly empty. Does this happen to sound familiar as well?
