Sertaline

Has anyone tried sertaline for itch

Do you mean Setraline? It’s an antidepressant.

Yes I know but it’s also used for itch

Yes. Specialist started me on cholestyramine then added rifampicin 300mg a day then added 25mg of sertraline. I can take the whole 50mg but usually stay at 25mg. I still have some irritation but the so called itch that plagued me is now muted. I know this is a lot of medication but for me it is a trade off to be rid of something that had it continued may have caused me to do the unthinkable.

I have recently read that the anti depressant mirtazapine may be of interest in cases of PBC. It is the next post down.

Hope this helps

Best wishes

Have to be comfortable, I take Cucurplex95, CBD ( from SOL-CBD) and use cannabis if needed. Always keep Gold Bond itch spray on hand
