    Itchy skin- side effect?

    When I first started taking anti depressants I noticed my skin started to get this kind of burning sensation which went away after a couple of days however I am now on 20mg and my skin has started to itch badly on my legs back and wrist- is this normal? Is it just a side effect to the tablets or something more serious?

    Thank you

    Sorry....citalopram. I have spoken to doctor and she said he doesn’t think it’s the tablets and just to take a antihistamine...so now I am more worked up

    Ok I will move this to the correct forum for you.

    Could be a complete coincidence then.
