Hello all!

I've been treating my anxiety (health anxiety) and depression for the last 7 years with Citalopram (Celexa). Due to some GI issues my doctor and I have decided to stop Citalopram for the time being to see if my GI issues improve. The good news is that they have! Since weaning off Citalopram I have had a huge improvement with my gut health!!! Anyway, I'm about 9 days into not being on Citalopram at all and i am experiencing some very weird symptoms and waiting to share my experience. My symptoms include: pins and needles in hands and feet, heart palpitations, fatigue, occasional nauseousness, "brain zaps," muscle twitching, and weird sensations on my skin.The symptom that is really impacting my daily life is the pins and needles in my hands and feet. The pins and needles seem to be more pronounced in the morning and tend to come and go throughout the afternoon. Exercise walking seems to help a lot and I have reported this to my doctor. He says we should wait and see if my withdrawal symptoms improve. Anyone else experience similar symptoms? The Internet says withdrawal symptoms usually improve in 1 to 3 weeks.
