Hi
does anyone get itchy as a result of anxiety/ medication? The past two nights I have woken not too long after going to bed and my whole body itches from head to toe. It is really intense and I have scratched like mad until my body is raw. I got up and plastered myself in emollient, although my skin doesn't appear dry and lay on the couch willing myself not to scratch, until tiredness took over and I fell asleep. I am ok during the day, the itch is there but not as intense.
I have thought about the usual suspects, toiletries, soap powder etc but nothing has changed.
What I find frustrating is not knowing what is 'real' any more or what is as a result of being anxious/depressed/ on meds.
I seem to have it in my head that you can't take antihistamines with Citalopram? Does anyone know otherwise?
I don't want to ask pharmacist as she is someone I know and I don't like talking about me and my meds etc and I REALLY don't want to go to doc unles it becomes absolutely necessary.
Happyone
