Tingling in head - Panic Disorders Message Board

Does anyone get tingling and sometimes burning (hard to explain how it feels) in their head, especially on the top? If you do, is it because of anxiety or because of medication? Please tell me your experiences. Thank you so much

When I'm having an attack I get a sort of tingeling feeling in my head, sort of like when you hands fall asleep.
As soon as my medication kicks in, it goes away.

What medication do you take?

I take Xanax.
I can't take Zoloft or Paxil...I had a severe allergic reaction to them.

i take xanax too. .25 mg. it doesnt always seems to help me though. i take it pretty much 3 times a day, and i really feel like im probably addicted to it. ive tried nortriptyline, effexor, lexapro and remeron and had problems with all. the tingling in my head started with remeron. it was so bad, and would last practically all day. ive been off remeron for about a month now. now i just get the tingling when im anxious/panicky now. i was just afraid that it was the medication causing it but it seems like its just the anxiety.
