Hi, I have been on citalopram for about two years for PMDD, for the last six months I've been on 60mg. I'm changing to venlafaxine/vensir xl and am due to start in a few days. I've been tapering off the citalopram for the last few weeks, one week down to 40mg, then one week and 20mg and then one week on nothing (which I'm just going into my third day). For the last two nights I've been having awful problems sleeping. I've been feeling generally rubbish which I kind of expected but night time is the worst. I'm sweating and restless but the worst thing is horrible tingling sensations in my legs and buttocks. It's not painful, it's just an awful sensation. I'm sorry, it's hard to describe, it starts like tingling in my upper legs, thighs and bum which I try to ignore but then it feels really nervy and jumpy. I know this sounds silly but it's so annoying and really uncomfortable. I'm really struggling as I'm getting almost no sleep and I work full time with two kids. I'm so sorry for waffling and I know this probably sounds really minor but if anyone could shed some light on this or let me know if they have had anything similar I would be so grateful.
thank you
love
