> > Are you taking any adrenergic or dopaminergic drugs? Tingling on the scalp is often what happens when you've got too much noradrenaline; ask the people on Strattera (or ephedrine, Ritalin, or amphetamine, for that matter) if they've ever gotten that. I once took tons of ephedrine + a beta blocker to keep my heart from exploding, and got so much tingling on my scalp, it was incredible.

> The condition being described is known as pruritis. Vistaril is indicated for relief of allergies or symtoms such as itching/tingling. However, with any med you may experience a paradoxical reaction or an adverse reaction similar to the symtoms you are wishing to eliminate. For example, If you are nervous, certain meds rxed to reduce this symtom may actually attenuate it a first.

P.s. I have on occasion seen some unusual reactions to Vistaril itself but only at high dosages.
