Had this burning feeling in my body and im on 3 rd day of taking 10 mg of citrilopram is this a side effect or the anxiety worried much
Hi Tammy I am on 20mg cit for 6 weeks now and I have experienced that burning sensation on my hands and feet on week 2 and it did go away so just hang in there it will get better
Good Luck!
I am on day 7 and had this start around day 3 also. I even made a post here on day 4 about it all.
Its less now than it was! Hang in there.
Realy gettin me down lizzie
Its realy gettin me down to b honest how long did u have it for
Yea it did me and still is abit. But it does get better. I have started taking mine on a night first time last night because i couldnt handle the effects i was having after taking the pill.
But after reading countless posts here and seeing that everyone was the same and once it kicks in they feel better, I decided to keep at it.
I dont know if its the tablets or the panic attacks cus its not there all the tym
It could be both. As it gets worse before it gets better, and it does get better, I went out 3 times yesterday and didnt feel panicky once. Yet the day before when I went out I panicked the whole time. And today I dont feel much anxiety at all.
Folks said the first 1-2 weeks are like hell but worth it 
I had exactly the same thing. It was pretty scary.
Get yourself to the doctor.
It's nothing to worry about - just a really unpleasant side effect.
I was given a low dose of diazepam it really really helped me get through it. And at such a low dose for such a short time its perfectly safe
I rang docs this morning he said it could b either the tablet or the anxiety if no better in a few days to go back
I rang docs he said it could b tablet or the anxiety if no better in a few days to go back it feels like it only comes on when i think about it doc also said dont take it on an empty tummy cus it can cause acid
Hi tammy I'm on day 4 after being prescribed 10mg for my Irritable bowel syndrome and I too had the burning feeling on day 2 but in my face felt like it was on fire!! Suffering with nausea the most it's driving me mad really hope these side effects disappear soon as I'm too scared to keep taking them. Took one before bed last night and woke with a terrible headache

I rang docs today he said it mite not b the tablet but mite b tje anxiety its not there all the tym only when i think about it docs told me to c how i go in next few days but its nothin to worry about
Do you feel nauseas at all? Think that's what's putting me off taking them but don't want to stop as I suffer with health anxiety
Michelle
Not suffering with nausea no r u being sick or just feel sick r u eatin ok and e u getting any other symptoms
Not being sick but a constant feeling of nausea, waking with headaches and loss of appetite. Also feeling down in the dumps and can't stop yawning. My sister is on 40mg for extreme anxiety and she's not suffered any side effects. I'm not going to take another one tonight as my sleep was also disturbed and it's horrible feeling like this and seeing to 3 kids 😩 I'm going to go back to the GP tomorrow
I had the nausea michk, it has tapered off now ( day 8 ) I had a loss of appetite also but now its back. I have severe health anxiety also so I know how you feel but please believe me, it does get better.
I really feel like giving up I hate feeling like this and it's only been 4 days but I have a phobia of vomiting so it's making my anxiety worse being worried about this nausea. I have been snacking on ginger biscuits and taking peppermint capsules for my IBS hoping it will settle.
I was on the ginger biscuits too haha!
If you click my name I posted a discussion on day 4 also I almost gave up!
It is hard but think about it in the long run, and the tablets start working it makes it worth it
I've bit the bullet and took another one 😩 I'm dreading every minute after taking them. Bloody hell my anxiety is through the roof since starting these!! Think il speak with GP if the nausea is the same tomorrow.
