I don't have the itch, but I find myself obsessed with body hair. I have to tweeze it all off, so I end up spending hours doing it. Another thing-I have become a clean/neat freak since being on it.

I'd suggest asking your doctor what you can do. If this medication is working for you but you don't like this side effect, you might be able to try a similar med (celexa, prozac, SSRI's of any kind I'd assume) and see if it doesn't have the side effect.
