Taking Anti-depressants.Body Tingling, Numbness, Sore Throat, Anxiety Attacks. Help
Hi there, I have recently started taking anti-depressants (started 2 days ago). Last night I was just sat on my chair when my tongue , lips , chest, all the way down to my penis started tingling and going numb; my arms and legs were fine. My throat was also sore and before I have suffered from some mild anxiety attacks yet I feel this wasn t the problem.. I m not sure but I would love to hear your opinion on what could have been the problem. Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks for using health care magic. I read your query and I believe that 2 days time is very short to predict the efficacy of the anti depressant drugs. i believe that you have started the treatment with the consultation of psychiatrist. and secondly you can take second opinion to continue medication and its side effect.
If still in doubt, please feel free to see a doctor. Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more queries.
