Title: Itching
Post by beachmusic on Mar 3^rd, 2008, 6:54am

Well here I am again with a new question.
I am itching and itching quite a bit. I could draw blood if I don't watch out. I have always been prone to hives off and on so don't know what to make of this but this is primarily itching on the back of head and neck, behind ears, inside ears and armpits. As if I am now allergic to my deodorant. I was wondering if it might be a reaction to the Melatonin which I noticed is a side effect or a reaction to the Depakote or Topomax. Anyone else experience this??

I have had the same problem when I take meletonin. Zyrtec helps for me.

Sounds like a ringing endorsement for one minute and a condemnation the next. Wazaguytado? ;)

I know exactly what am going to do. Trash the Melatonin. I am so sick of medicine and even more sick of taiking more medicine to treat the side effects of medicine. I have claw marks all over my body from this stuff so no thanks is what I have to say to to Melatonin. :(
