I am taking cymbalta and I am experiencing Pin & needles sensations all over my body. They are constant and they really scare me. I would like to know if pin & needles could be a side effect of the medication???????

My wife experienced the same thing...... also had an itching sensation that seemed like it was just 'under the skin' and couldn't be scratched. It seems as though the side/withdrawl effects are never ending. I can tell you this though..... it gets better.

Did your wife have pin & needles when taking the medication or during withdrawal??????. I was never able to quit the medication, I actually had to updose, and when I increase dosage I started experiencing the pin & needles. They are constant.I am also experiencing the "under the skin" itching.

I had a tingling feeling in my hands and fingers during the first two weeks when I stopped taking Cymbalta. Cymbalta can definitely cause a tingling pins and needles feeling in the extremities. I would watch your blood pressure too. I have had high blood pressure issues ever since I started going through Cymbalta withdrawal. I'm almost at 3 weeks without it now and things are getting better.
