Hi Damien - Yes the pins and needles could well be a side effect of the Citalopram. There are often lots of odd symptoms in the first few weeks, hang on in there and it should settle down a bit for you.

Thanks mp1a. I do hope you are right. They are so annoying.

Hi.

I agree that it possible it a side effect . Ive experienced a tingling sensation not quite pins n needles but it seems familiar
