Hi there,
To cut a long story short, I have suffered from anxiety & depression on and off for the last 15 years. It has interfered with my life considerably, especially on the work and career front. Currently, I am having major problems with anxiety and panic attacks due to a recent bereavement. I have been on Citalopram for the last 9 years and have just recently moved onto a different medication (Clomipramine) under the advice of my Doctor. I am having some strange symptoms lately and I just wanted to see if anyone can advise me if these are withdrawal symptoms...
1. Feeling extremely hot, especially on the face
2. Banging headache
3. Feeling 'spaced out'
4. Legs feeling like lead - I was out walking around today and I had to
stop in the middle of the street as I felt like I would collapse if I walked another inch.
5. Sharp pains in stomach
6. Pins & needles in hands, feet, arms,and legs
If anyone can advise I would really appreciate it! The symptoms are making me feel overly anxious that something's seriously wrong with me!
Many thanks
