Why Does The Tip Of My Nose And My Top Lip Go Numb ?

Why does the tip of my nose and my top lip go numb at times I m a 38 year old woman. Im healthy. I don t drink, smoke or do drugs. Im not overweight . The only medication that Im on is Paxil 10mg daily. I have noticed that the tip of my nose and my top lip go numb from time to time. It generally lasts for a few hours at a time. This has been going on for about 4-5 years now.

That happens to me all the time. I am 21years old 5'6'' 120lbs, don't do drugs- rarely drink- i do smoke cigarettes I'm not sure if that could be it maybe? I also am slightly anemic, so maybe the bad circulation? I'm perscribed zoloft for my anxiety problems, but rarely take it.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Numbness or parasthesis is a side effect of paxil.Have you been experiencing any other symtpoms, if so think of stopping the medicine.
You may replace it with homoeopathic medication, they work quiet safely and effectively in psychiatric disorder, esp depression, anxiety , phobia's .
Takecare,
