> Has anyone experienced a tingling sensation just beneath the skin which makes one restless?
Sometimes feelings like that are what's called "akathisia". It can be caused by SSRI-type antidepressants (or antipsychotics). Usually it's either treated with (another) medication or the dose of the medication that's causing it is lowered (or it's stopped completely).
