flower Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Mountainman I get itchy too..I use that beadryl spray..I've had hives so bad I went to the ER ..That was prozac. Now I get a reaction everytime I mess around with my meds..I have blisters now from the switch of gabapentin again. I guess we treat the symptoms and march on...Good luck. Flower, how long do these symptoms last for you when they happen? Mountain man...I believe it was about 2 weeks the last time,this time they aren't as bad but all I did was change brands of gabapentin. It will go away but being itchy is a pain in the @#&*..An antihistamine will help the itchy if it gets bad. C/T Celexa and Trazadone on Jan.29th 2014 Prescribed 1mg of Klonopin every 6 hours on Jan.29th Began tapering Klonopin April 18th..stretching time between doses...at first one hour for 2 weeks then a half hour for app.10 days then another half hour 10days later. Presently at .25 three times a day..6 2 and 10pm. Trying to stabilize. Also still taking gabapentin 300mgs 2xs a day.. Link to comment
Nikki Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hi MM When I was on Paxil years back I had a reddish band around my upper arm. I had it with Lexapro but not as pronounced. I always attributed it to ssri's. While on Paxil I would get terribly itchy upper arms. Drove me crazy. At that time my former spouse had a bottle of lidocaine gel and it was the only thing that worked to stop the itch. I noticed the sun would exacerbate it.
