Has anyone ever had burning skin as a side effect? I’ve just started week 4 today and most of the side effects have gone. But my legs and feet are burning, like sunburn
Yes! I had such a bad burning scalp when I was on Sertraline! It got so bad I switched to Prozac. I have read that burning sensations can be normal of any anti-depressant.
How long did you have it before changing? It’s horrible, but my skin doesn’t feel warm to touch, I’ve been stressing thinking the worst
No my skin didn’t feel warm either. Does it hurt when you touch the skin that feels like its burning?
I was on them for about a month before I changed.
No it doesn’t hurt at all. It’s like a burning from the inside and looking at my skin you wouldn’t be able to know as it looks completely normal
It does sound like it could be a side effect from the medication, or even just your anxiety manifesting itself in another physical symptom. If you are concerned though then it may be worth speaking with your GP.
I’ll give it another week and I’ll speak to my gp. it comes and goes but it’s mostly in the evenings. Thank you
