Remedy For Itching

RE: Remedy For Itching Post By Dee Nicholas (Guest Post) (07/27/2008) I apply household Ammonia to stop any itching - a lot cheaper then most products, and works! Report Spam or Abuse Crestor Post By Barb (Guest Post) (04/28/2008) I have been on 5 Mg of Crestor for about 2 years or so. The past 6 weeks I have had this terrible itching and burning on my scalp. Two weeks ago my Dr. increased the dosage to 10 Mg of Crestor and now I am burning and itching on my back, neck and arms...almost everywhere. Most doctors won't listen and I know I need a cholesterol medication. I have been on several in the past and they have caused me muscle problems. I don't know what to do? I am about ready to quit the medicine for a week or so to see if that is the problem. I wonder if that would be enough time to tell?

It is all through my hair line. my neck, my eyes and nose and even in my ears. I am to the point of stopping the medication and just dealing with the pain. I don't know which is worse. The Benedryl definately helps but makes me extremely tired. The is a good cream called Amlactin. I think you have to ask the pharmacist for it but you do not need a prescription. Good luck. Pray, pray pray Report Spam or Abuse hydrocodone Post By anne Story (Guest Post) (01/30/2008) I am taking hydrocodone/ibuprofen for bad tooth pain. I'm assuming this is what is making me itch at night (though I have eczema). But also, does this med. keep you awake or put you to sleep? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post By Sue (Guest Post) (01/15/2008) I have been on Crestor 5mg for 2 1/2 weeks and started itching/stinging all over after the first week. I also stopped Lyrica 50 mg the day before the itching/stinging began and thought it could be attributed to that. My doctor doesn't think it is either drug. So the other night I omitted the Crestor and the problems were almost gone the next day. I resumed the Crestor after one day of being off, and the symptoms returned. I am ready to stop Crestor! Anyone with a similar experience or any thoughts.

I thought I might clear this up as I saw this page and am in medical school. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post By Dionne (Guest Post) (09/25/2007) i have neurofibromatosis and severe back pain and I take hydro and oxycodone depending on the severity of my pain and the hydro isn't too bad but the oxy makes me itch and keeps me up at night for hours. I end up staying up until the medication wears off and the itching stops. I really have tried mostly everything i could think of to prevent the itching. I'm with you when I ask if anyone has any remedies?

Walmart carries their brand which is 1/2 price of Aveeno. My dad has eczema and I don't even use soap in the bath, just oatmeal. I itch from Percocet, been on hydrocodone for 2 years now and all of the sudden itching like craze? If it's not one thing it's another - right? Good luck, take care.

Feels like I have bugs biting me. If I take Tylenol PM sometimes it will subside.

Both of these worked well on summer bug bites and itchy skin from too much sun. Could give them a try.

My mom gave me some Skin So Soft Moisturing Shower Gel from Avon for Christmas. Oh my stars!!! It doesn't take care of the itching completely, but it does at least relieve it for a few hours after I shower.

It is so embarrasisng to me, I am afraid people will think I am infested! I take a large dose of benedryl, which helps, but I cant do that unless I am home and ready for sleep. WHY do I itch like that with this medicine?

It is a side effect, not an allergy. It's listed as a side effect. Now that I have been on it for awhile the itching isn't as bad. Anyone with fibro or cfs that wants to chat, send me an email. Valery Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post by drava (2) | (08/26/2005) Contact I have fibro and chronic pain and take hydocodone, so I sympathize with you very much. I agree with harperlee that you should mention it to your dr. ....it also struck me that you could be drying your skin out with the allergy meds as well Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post By harperllee1214 (Guest Post) (08/21/2005) I'm an RN and we give atarax for itching. If itching is a constant problem everytime you take your med, you need to find a new med. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post by TonyaG (104) | (08/14/2005) Profile | Contact I do not take any codone type prescriptions but I do understand about the itchiness. I have incredibly dry skin and itch all the time. I went to the doctor last week and it was one of the things on my "list". He suggested a lotion called Eucerin (not sure on spelling). I have tried it before but it bugs me because it just kind of sits on the top of my skin. I feel like a walking oil slick. I have tried Curel and several other lotions to no avail. I even changed my bath soap to a moisturing type soap, Oil of Olay, but still itch. It even goes as far as my scalp and ears itching. I can't tell you how many different shampoos and conditioners I have tried. My doctor did give me some Zyrtek samples to take and they have helped some but I have to tell you they knock me flat on my backside so I make sure I take them at night only. Anyone with any additional suggestions, I'm up for them too. Thanks Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post By Donna (Guest Post) (08/08/2005) If your itching isn't an allergic reaction, Zyrtec is very helpful for dealing with skin allerigies. It has been incredibly helpful for me and I don't itch anymore. Hope this helps. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post By Fran Marie (Guest Post) (08/08/2005) I agree with the guest post. I think your itching is an allergic reaction. There are so many new pain killers out there that there should be something that doesn't make you itch. Arnica seems to be the most popular homeopathic treatment for fibromyalgia. Ask your pharmacist if there is any drug interactions with this treatment first. http://www.homeopathiconline.com seems to have the most comprehensive and easy to understand treatments.

Especially Hydrocodone or anything with a codeine substance in it. My pharmacist said its drom the inactive ingredients used to hold the pill together. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post By TC in MO. (Guest Post) (08/06/2005) I think you should try taking the benadryl. Usually after a few doses, you don't feel as sleepy. Maybe you could start taking it on a weekend. TCRN in MO Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedy For Itching Post By (Guest Post) (08/06/2005) Sounds like an allergy, rather than a side effect. Talk to your doctor. I too take Vicodon for fibro , it really helps, no itching. Report Spam or Abuse
