Could citalopram have caused my neuropathy
Posted , 3 users are following.
It didn't start until Italian and increased tenfold since weaning off. If so, would any antidepressant cause it? Considering nortriptyline to help with pain that i feel citalopram caused. Smh

Hi Lizzie
If you take buspar and it has caused problems then your dr may consider discontinuing it.
I have not ben through every drug tbh listed but even if it is not listeed medical advice is to report the side effects to the MHRA this can be done online by the patient, the prmacist or prescibing doctor. In practice drs usually tell the patient or ask themif they have reported it online. The drugs Company concerned should write to the dr , with your consent of course. In my case a neeeurologist reorted the side effects of Lyrica/pregabelin prescribed for mee forepilepsy because after three weeks it hd caused a movement disorder, Cortical myoclonus.
Have you heard of the Foundation for peripheral neuropathy?
?Take care Jane xxx

The link was sent by PM as well.
Was just trying to help by sending a link. I trained as a nurse and was a senior nurse in Occupational Health and found that a lot of people including professionals and ManagingDirectors sometimes did not feel sufficiently motivated or were too much under the weather even fearful or too busy to search for information. Hope that clariifies things for you Andy. Thanks

Its alright Lizzie. You have not got me into any trouble.Dr Sarah Jarvis understands . Keep looking for answers and look up antibiotic toxicity s
syndrome as well. My endo wrote a medical Report blaming statins, ppis, phenytoin and antibiotics on my myalgia and peripheral neuropathy. All of the afore mentioned have now been discontinued by gastro enterologist, neurologist , GP is scared of prescribing any antibiotic especially fluoroquinolones which I would not dream of taking anyway.
I am scared of getting an infection but keep praying that I don't!!
It is all out in the open now even the Director of Public Health plus Medical Directorof the CCG are supporting me. PPIs are now discontinued as they are now contraindicated in Long QT syndrome as is furosemide/Lasix.
Macrolides, nitrofurantoin and a wholebatch of other drugsare listed as causing or potentially causing peripheral neuropathy etc.
Did you get the link by PMMon the Foundation of peripheral Neuropathy set up by doctors?
Take care, don't worry.
