Talk to your psych: You may be experiencing a rare side effect of paroxetine - numbness or tingling in the limbs. Anxiety also can lead to hyperventilation & numbness & tingling in lips, fingers and toes & extend centrally to arms, legs & trunk. Prolonged hyperventilation may worsen the symptoms leading to seizures. Talk to your doctor about adjusting Paxil or switching medication. Ask about anxiety as well.

Concerning symptoms: These symptoms could be related to your hypertension and/or to your anxiety. Regardless, you should be under the regular care of a qualified physician for all these conditions. If you haven't been evaluated recently, please make sure you are seen.

Tingling: Assuming your BP is controlled as well as your depression & anxiety, & also no arthritis in the neck is present, i would suggest talking to your psychiatrist about medication for anxiety & also adding magnesium. As last resort, consult a neurologist.

Tickling or RLS: Paxil (paroxetine) and other ssri medications can indirectly reduce Dopamine levels which can result in restless legs syndrome (rls). Rls can affect the whole body and is a creepy crawling sensation helped by Dopamine agonists like requip. Also, anyone on htcz should have regular potassium (k) levels checked.
