Citalopram-day4-numbness

[towelsand]

Hi all,
So I'm on day4 on citalopram, and have a really weird numb feeling on my hand, end of fingers, and a very stiff neck...
Anyone who experienced the same? Will it go away?

Many thanks

I’m also on Citalopram, started on 5mg, then 7.5mg and for the past week I’ve upped to 10mg. It’s ramped up my anxiety in the last few days and I’m waking in a panicked state, I’ve also had weird tingling as and heavy legs. I’ve been on them before so I know it’s a process and a horrible one at that, but it will pass, unfortunately it’s not a quick fix, last time it took me 8 weeks before I felt somewhat better. Tingling and tight muscles go hand in hand with the start of the medication for many, last time I had to use a heat pack on my neck constantly to ease the tension experienced to start with. Best of luck to you x

I started on 10 then after 3 weeks upped to 20mg. I don't know if my situation changed but it's helped so much. Keep going. Also, if you can, get onto 20mg
