Started on questran but still itching....:o(

[Lightbulbmoment]

Hello lovely people. Thanks for all the very helpful replies to most post the other week about my unbearable itching. On the advice of many of you, I asked my GP for questran and have been taking 1 sachet for over a week. Unfortunately I am still having episodes of itching (am itching as I write this - which is unusual as I almost always itch at night...) The GP said it’s best to keep to low a dose as possible, but thinking I need to up it to 2 sachets. My questions are 1) have I given it long enough on 1 sachet yet before I increase and 2) if I take 2 sachets, should I take them together or at separate times of the day?

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the brief spell of spring like weather, although it’s blowing a hoolie today down where I am!! X

My hubby found dream cream from lush really helped. He stopped taking questran because it made him so nauseous he couldn't eat enough.Its trial and error though and everyone is different x

Hi GD, well it certainly wouldn’t be a hardship to get some dream cream from Lush, I absolutely love their products so will be giving that a go for sure. Am I right in think it contains lavender, which would explain its skin calming and soothing properties.

You should check with your GP if you can take 2 as they can interfere with other medications I was on 2 one in morning and evening but I ended up with awful side effects I found I was ok on one x hope it eases soon

Hi Jake, god I hope it does, oddly I seem to be itchy more often since being on the questran...very strange. Last night was horrendous, I actually wanted to rip my skin off..the palms of my hands (where I’ve never had it before) especially.

Not lavender but something to do with oats
