Take the following with grain of salt, since I am not a medical professional. That being said, two things. 1. your doctor has you on a regimen that seems out of date, especially lithium. There are better drugs out there these days including, lamictal (sp??) coupled with Wellburtin and others. Are you sure he is following latest breakthroughs, etc.? 2. The active ingredients in Dymatap, Benedryl and other well known, safe drugs are known to help both itching and anxiety--this I know first hand. You might consider asking your doctor to perscribe the pharmacy version of the "dymatap" one. Sorry I do not remember the chemical name...perhaps Doc John can post it.
