Citalopram week 5 20mg side effects
Posted , 2 users are following.
I am taking citalopram 20 mg for panic/anxiety. I took citalopram before in my life and i am aware of the multiple side effects that can cause.
this time though i am experiencing a new one and wondering if any of you have the same.
I had a couple of days when i had the feeling that both my legs were really hot almost burning. then i had a few days when one leg felt icy like cold water was pouring on it.
I also have the odd skin feeling i.e crawling and sensitive skin.
thank you

I havent personally had that but a friend of mine had exactly the same. When I took meds for the second time though I had a completely different experience too - that time round I had depression and no anxiety and it took longer to recover too.

thank you for your reply. it seems they present different challenges each time we start them! in the past i used to get numbness on one side of my face.
hopefully we all feel better at some point.

Yes I definitely found that when I restarted the meds - totally different. My friend also had numbness in her face plus said it often felt like she had ants crawling on her skin.

Yes - that's it 😀 Our bodies do some weird things at times .....
No the meds aren't easy, but they are great!! They don't work like other meds whereby you take a pill and in a couple of weeks you start to feel better. Think of those weeks more like months ... but just keep persevering, through it all. It does get better.
