Hi Jessica x How much is mentally feeling good if the trade off is physical distress.

It's got to be terrible to live with itching nothing worse than that feeling.

It is important you have a talk with your doctor regarding the side effect of the medication.

Depending how long you've been on this med can make a difference as well as giving you

something else in addition to the medicine you are already on. (Antihistamine)

If the doctor thinks that is not an option, then you may have to bite the bullet and try

another med. I know all too well in how long it took me to take medication in the first place.

But once you find that one that gives you complete relief, it will be the only way you can go

forward in life. Good Luck Jessica :) xx
