Could Tingling Sensation In Body After Taking Venlafaxine And Wellbutrin For Depression And Anxiety Be Normal?
Hello my name is Andrea, I currently take Venalfaxine 37.5 mg for depression and anxiety along with Wellbutrin 150mg. I have started taking Wellbutrin 300mg past three days after taking 150mg for one month and I have this constant tingling/pins and needles feeling in my arms and legs. Help, its giving me more anxiety just feeling this way.

Dear Andrea,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
Yes it is normal to have such kind of side effects with venlafaxine.
In my view temporarily reduce your dose to 225 mg for at least 4 days than increase back to 300 mg. Even if you have similar symptoms with lower doses than I advise you to increase the dose in 37.5 mg per week so you won't have such kind of side effects.
Thanks
