Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Has anyone had relief from the itching with hydroxyzine (Atarax)? This has been somewhat helpful at times for me and for my son. It does cause drowsiness however. Chris mother of Joe (32) UC 1987, J-pouch 1999, PSC, acute pancreatitis 3/06 P.S. As an aside, when Joe was in the hospital he was given Thorazine IVPB for the severe itching, which I found to be alarming - like using a shotgun to kill a housefly. Anyone ever experience treatment like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hi Cinda Thanks for the advice - am not a fish lover, but will definately try with the low fat thing. The itching is worse at the moment as I have to come off the Naltrexone [250mg] before my colonoscopy in 2 wks time so I am getting pretty desperate! I have nearly scratched my thighs raw through my jeans. Thanks again Kym x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
