Pins and needles in hands/fingers tingly feeling

Hi all my first post here I am quite an impatient person when it comes to finding things out so hopefully some of you could help me out.

I noticed I had pins and needles in my hands and fingers it felt like it was in random parts of my body to, to begin with.

I went to see the local GP and was prescribed 10mg of amytriplyne a day. And for bloods to be taken the same day.

My pins and needles eased over time from my body but stayed in my hands for exactly 11 days .

When I started taking the tablets it was 7 days from that point.

My bloods only came back that I was vitamin D deficient. And also prescribed 50000 Vit D3 units once a week. Nothing else and assuming diabetes ruled out but we didn't have that discussion. They took alot of blood so I assume they tested for lots of things.

I was 9 days clear of the pins and needles when I saw the doctor next. And he suggested I stop taking the amitriptyline.

3 days on my pins and needles has come back to my hands. And I'm very concerned about this issue and will be booking an appointment in the next few days.

If anyone has any experience about this it would be highly appreciated I just don't see this a normal thing and it's very irritating.

Just to note the only other things I feel that isn't right only to describe I feel like s**t sometimes and just can't be bothered with anything... obviously I still do them I'm assuming lack of energy with a vit d deficiency . I get occasional headaches but always suffered with that. But yeah...

Thank you.

Hi Ken, before I started taking Mirtazapine had pins and needles in my hands and legs. I was very worried something is wrong but now I know it was a sign of stress, anxiety and depression that was creeping in slowly. It went away when I started Mirtazapine but I upped the dose to 30mg 5 days ago and the sensation is back. This time it is probably the side effect of medication. Very often if you come off antidepressant you can get this feeling as well for a few days....
