Guest guest Posted January 8, 1999 Report Share Posted January 8, 1999 Hi and All Itch Suffers, This " Itch From Hell " as I like to call it has been with me off and on for about 5 years now. This year has been pretty bad. I sought medical advice and wound up with a super Dermatologist. I was prescribed Zertec; this med is mild and will relieve itching for a little while depending on the individual. Doxepam on the other hand is stronger and more aggressive and gives longer periods of relief. Now all I'm saying is that I have found relief with these meds. They work for me with no side effects that I can see or have noticed. I see my doctor frequently for monitoring. I've been on very high doses of Synthroid and that is what my new doc thinks my itching is caused from. I tend to believe that it is part of RLS because, ffirst of all I began itching long before I had Synthroid introduced and now I'm on a much lower dose and it's still here. I usually go to sleep about 10pm or 11 and without fail sometime duin the night I'm awaken with this itch. I just folded towels I washed during the day and got too busy with other things.
