hi there. i've been on since july too. the nausea psses after the first week. the last two days i've started taking it at night (like with dinner. -- i'm on 10 mg / day , btw).
it seems to have helped with the sleepiness. tomorrow i'm starting wellbutrin in the AM to try and deal with this lack of energy/weight issue. i can't stand that i've gained weight (i was no twig.. but i went from like an 8/10 to a 10/12).
as for itching - well - it's weird that you ask. i've just noticed this starting. but it happened when i worked out tonight and i thought it was just b/c i hadn't worked out in a while.. but now.. i notice there are some "bite" looking things.
i know, i sound like a nut. :-) sorry. i'm not being psychosematic (sp?).. i'm going to watch on this itching thing.
have you tried anything?
thanks.
