itchy and bitchy Mood
Sunday, June 7, 2009 | A Call For Help story
Have been in menapause for over a year.  Have tried natural remedies for the hot fashes and night sweat.  After a year of suffering I went back on the birth control pill.  Within 3 days I felt human again.  Now Im suffering from the ichy, crawling some times burn skin from head to toe.  Between the Derm. Dr. and Family Dr.  I'm now on amitriplyne 20 mg.  and hydroxyzine 100 mg 3x a day. I feel likw Im waling around in a fog, but it takes the edge off and Im able to function during the day and sleep at night.  I have a appt. with a specialist in july.  A friend of mine knew someone that was going through the same thing.  Two years of seeing Dr. and nothing.  She ended up at the Mayo Clinic and the Dr. reccomended gabapentin 100 mg. 3 x daily.  She is now itch and pain free.  I've asked my Dr. to look into it.  Also, I do develope rashes  on stomach, back, arms and legs at times . they seen to show up and dissapear randomly.  Has anyone heard of GABAPENTIN?
