Been on cit for month now and brilliant so far anxiety seems to have gone apart from the occasional chest pain but nothing major I was just wondering if anybody else gets a numb or tingly feeling in there face
Hi
Numbness of the skin (paraesthesia) is a common side effect, so it could be this. It should be temporary and will wear off eventually. Keep an eye on it and see your doctor if it bothers you.
Glad to hear your anxiety is better!

It only last few seconds but I was just worried that it was more than cit
I came off Cit 2 years ago (have restarted it since though) and I remember when I was having some withdrawal effects I got a sort of numbness to my head at times too. It was fleeting and like you say, it lasted a few seconds.
Im sure it's the meds causing it, but you could mention it next time you visit your doctor.
These meds do produce some strange symptoms sometimes don't they ...
Very strange yeah just hope it's worth it in the end
SSRI's changed my life, so for me it was worth the tough journey on these meds. I have my life back and am really happy now.
