Do numbness and pin-pricking sensation occur due to anti depressants?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com, where our primary focus is your health and well-being.

I am here to help you with your medical query.

Numbness and pins and needle sensation point towards peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes, vitamin deficiency and side effects of some medicine including some antidepressants can be causing this condition.

Please share the details of medicines you have taken in the past.

I suggest you do the following:

1. Exercise regularly and practice yoga on daily basis.
2. Drink plenty of water.
3. Avoid oily, spicy food.
4. Do not oil massage the numb area.

Thank you.
