I started citalopram 4 weeks ago on 10mg and then 2 weeks ago on 20 mg. It calmed my pins and needles down and the twitching but then saturday night I had a slight panic attack and since then I have had pins and needles in my hands but not as bad as before citalopram and increase in twitching but again not as before the citalopram?
Im not on meds, but get pins.needles all the time... i imagine its to do with adrenaline levels in the body, or just bad circulation!
Im not a fan of meds though im afraid, powerful drugs in your body that god know what theyre doing=see article below

Hi there,
The meds can take up to 8 weeks to be fully effective and, at first, your anxiety can get worse. It's probably worth giving them a bit longer before going back to your GP.
Take care

Four weeks is nothing on citralapram , they are a great help but not a miracle cure , the longer i was on them the better i got and i feel like my old self again .
I think it was at least 6 weeks before i knew they were "starting" to work . I have a limited knowledge of meds but i get the impression some peeps give up on a certain type of med to quickly in desparation to feel better .
You have to use your time on them well and search other methods aswell to get you on the road to recovery .
You will get there mate but it does take time :hugs:
