Has anyone noticed they keep getting lots of spots or pimples etc whilst on this medication? Ive been getting a lot and some of them are sore
yep! more itchy than sore but they started when i increased to 20mg
yes
Ive got some that seem to stay forever, ive read that stress and anxiety can cause spots so could be that or these meds
I had hives in the early months zopiclone withdrawal, they are itchy red spots, appear then go within in a few days not sore though. Had them sporadically for few months then stopped, think it's probably due to anxiety maybe?
i get big lumps that scar! hate this drug!
Hi I been having breakout pimples like I never had before 😡 can Celexa do that ? I hope it goes once I'm balance out on the meds on week 8 on 5 MG lots of side effects like nausea, shakes and headache
of course it can it affects hormones
I also wonder if it makes our skin more sensitive as i seem more alert to any soreness or itching etc and ive also noticed my glasses have started rubbing and making my skin sore behind one of my ears. My health anxiety makes me notice any little bit of discomfort etc
Hi thank u for ur response back I know this question is not for this site but is there a site for people that are on 5mg Celexa and talk about it helping there anxiety ? Thank u toria and anyone else that reads this ☺

Please get with me if u can and want and have the time thanks babsyboo

Hi, yes, I discontinued Citalopram in August 2019 and then, exactly three months later and ever since, have had eczema on my eyelids and spots around my mouth and right side of my face. I definitely think it's the drug. I'm convinced it's something neural because it's on one side of my face....bit like shingles (but GP ruled shingles out.) Also, have had these dam spots for a month now and they are taking AGES to clear up. I feel like I have acne aged 51 ! I switched to Venlafaxine, psychiatrist said that it was a bit late to be getting spots from that, it most likely would have occurred sooner. Of course, he denied it would be Citalopram WD...sigh
Hello Ruth I've reduced my citalopram dose from 10mg to 5mg over the last 10 months and am still getting withdrawal symptoms. When you say you discontinued citalopram, do you mean you just stopped and started venlafaxine with no weaning off? Just wondering if you are getting withdrawal effects still and if so what they are, apart from the spots. Thanks
im only 1 month into taking cit, been on 20mg since the start. You are right the spots and pimples seem to take forever to go away and ive also got a lot of dry skin
hey sonia, just wondering if you ever get itchy skin? x
Hi Toria Yes, it drives me crazy at night time, can be anywhere, feet, legs, neck, back ugh. I also get fidgety legs, can't keep them still, only when I'm in bed though. Et tu?
horrible isnt it! mine is always worse when im due on, im diagnosing myself with alsorts x
I get quite a bit of itchy and sometimes burning skin mainly on my neck, lower arm, back, side of my thigh and on my chest
Hi Graham Sometimes I get an itch on my back and when I go and scratch it I can feel like a lightly scabbed area and it looks like a long cat scratch. These come and go. Don't know what that is?? i also feel burning, mostly in my legs, at night. I can't seem to regulate my temperature, one minute I'm hot and then cold. Weird!!
