In reply to Itchy/scratchy after Effexor?, posted by anne on April 1, 1999, at 22:59:28
> I've been on Effexor XR for 2 months now and feel pretty wonderful, especially since increasing the dose 2 weeks ago. Suddenly, the past 2 days I have started itching all over at bedtime - Oatmeal baths and topical cortisone don't touch it. Could it possibly be the Effexor? I've never heard of being allergic to antidepressants. Will it go away? I am loathe to give this drug up; it took so long to find one that was helpful.
James here...
there was a post last month on this subject...you are not the only one ! Ask your doc about taking an anti histamine to counter.
