My Prozac was upped to 80 mg., Seroquel changed to XR, Tegretol remains the same 300 mg. and Trazadone was brought down from 300 mg to 150. My skin is itching like crazy. No rash, no welts, no redness. Skin isn't dry. Has anyone ever experienced this before?

I have experienced itchy skin on Prozac, but I seem to be having that issue with many psych meds these days. Also it was the only med I was on and was on an extremely small dose, 2.5mg!
Not sure if that helps at all but yes I did itch on Prozac. Sent using Tapatalk __________________ Dx: MDD, GAD, Panic Disorder Rx: None, too many side effects. |

Lamictal does that to me. With your meds, it could be any or all of the above (and that's a LOT of Prozac you're on!!). Be sure to tell your doctor, and in the meantime you may want to try lukewarm oatmeal baths (Aveeno makes some good products) but avoid daily showers/baths because they dry out the skin, particularly if you're older. Also avoid using perfumed soaps, sprays, lotions etc. because they too are drying, and make sure you're hydrated---drink plenty of water throughout the day. Hopefully something will help.....itchiness is awful.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
