Tingling

Since starting topomax in February, I have been experiencing the tingling in my fingers almost constantly. I also tingle on my scalp and my face. And when I get hot it feels like the front of my neck gets really tight. Not quite the same tingly feeling, but similiar. I talked to the neuro about it and he said it wasn't a side effect if the topomax that it must be anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this? And if it's anxiety whh would it only happen when I'm hot and why did it start the same time as the other symptoms. ## Hello, Kimberly! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. I really can't explain why it's happening this way, but if it is due to anxiety, that could be caused by the Topamax, it has been known to cause anxiety, depressio...

Hi , I am two weeks in to my treatment and I have tingling in my legs all the time. It is uncomfortable to do my daily hamstring stretches. I am worried about this and am not due to see my Dr for 3 more weeks. I also have intermittent mild fever and lethargy. Should I be worried about the tingling in my legs? ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? I'm not seeing this listed among the detailed side effects, but I have to say that it really doesn't surprise me. Many people have problems with these types of medications and quite a few have ended up having to discontinue them. The fever and lethargy, however, are quite normal. I'd suggest calling your doctor now, to make them aware of the issue and see what they think you should do. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, I've started contrave and been on one pill for about a week and a half, I probably need to up it. I have noticed an increase in eye twitchiness and for about 3 days now random pins and needles tingling in my back and feet. Anyone else?? ## You should have this checked out by a doctor, those could be symptoms of an allergy and if they worsen, it could become life threatening. The NIH lists other allergy symptoms as possibly including hives and trouble breathing? How are you doing? Has there been any change? Have you experienced any new symptoms?

On 50 mg Pritiq w/ few side effects, then PDoc added 100 Wellbutrin SR/day for 1 week, the 2x100/day after first week. Having serious vivid dreams, but especiall thingling and numbness in feet, lower legs, both forearms, and face. Anyone had similar? ## The problem could be caused by the combination of the two medications. Wellbutrin contains the active ingredient Buproprion and Pristiq contains Desvelafaxine and combining the two is known to increase the amount of the Buproprion metabolites in your body, so the dosage may be too high for you. Have you contacted your doctor about this problem, yet?

after walking at a normal to brisk pace, the insides of both legs tingle from my feet all the way to the groin area, but not on the outsides of my legs. I want to know what is causing this. I'm 77 and this started a few weeks ago. ## Hello, Little Mouse! How are you? I'm not a doctor, so I can't say with certainty, but that symptom is usually due to a change in circulation. The exercise is increasing blood flow to muscle areas that don't normally have some much freely moving through them. Do you have any medical conditions, such as a heart issue, or high blood pressure? Are you on any medications? There are many things that could cause it, including age. But only your doctor can say for sure. ## Thank you for your response. I had been curious about a "change in circu...

I have been taking Indapamide for 18 months in December 2017 I developed a tingling sensation on the tip of my tongue which got progressively worse, eventually affecting my whole mouth and lips. I went to the doctor twice but they could find nothing wrong. In mid January I read an article on line about burning mouth syndrome which said that a potential cause could be blood pressure medication, so in desperation I stopped taking Indapamide, within a day my symptoms started to improve and there days later have almost disappeared. Has anyone heard of Indapamide causing this problem. ## Yes I also have this sore burning tongue, but mostly on the one side of my tongue. I am soo frustrated I actually made an appointment with my mouth hygenist. I was thinking that it must be something wrong in...

After nearly 5 years of trying to get docs to take my complaints seriously, I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto's a couple of months ago. About 3 months prior to that, they started me on Synthroid. At follow-up, my TSH levels had not improved so I was switched to Levoxyl. A couple weeks after starting it, I began experiencing tingling across my forehead and scalp. A pins and needles sort of feeling. Several weeks later the tingling is ongoing, though it waxes and wanes in severity. Then a couple weeks ago my feet started to swell. I was noticing my shoes felt tight and was getting sores on my toes from rubbing. I made no changes to my daily routine or diet that would explain this swelling. My ankles don't really look swollen-just my feet and it's gotten quite uncomfortabl...

i started taking lexapro about 2 weeks ago and have gotten a tingling sensation in my arms and legs especially on my left side... Is anybody else getting this, please help I really like what lexapro is doing for my anxiety but I'm scared I could be getting a wierd side effect.. help ## Hi Jen30 - while a tingling sensation is not listed as a common side effect of Lexapro, if this is the only drug which you are taking, and the tingling started within the time you started taking it, I would be inclined to think the same thing as you. Any changes in your eating or sleeping habits? Are you taking any other medications with this? ## I just started Laxapro and I too have tingling in my legs. A more serious side effect has been cramping in my legs and groin. Never had this before Lexapro. ...

I am on numerous medication for Bi-polar. Over the last week I have got uncontrollable itching in my hair, legs, behind my ears.

Took Phenchrom with St. John's wart given my doc to drop weight. I ws on it for 6 weeks. Dropped 20 pounds, but began having burning tongue, lip nose and chin tingling. Like a tooth ache. After going off it went away. I tested small amount later and immediately the tonge and mouth discomfort came back. Be careful! Also foot pain after cleaning like a mad woman. foot doc said over use Morton's neuroma. Still bothers me.
