itching! medicine advice? [View all]

My doctor put me on Zoloft because I was having panic attacks, but ever since then, I''ve e felt like I've had a thousand ants crawling on me! In my pants, under my armpits, everywhere!

Itch itch itch!!

I started on 25mg dosage but it wasn't helping much with the attacks so he upped me to the 50mg recently and I've felt much better, other than this ITCHING!

I don't know if I should risk giong back down to 25mg or just stick with the 50mg and hope the itching goes away after a few weeks. I haven't talked to my doctor yet but I will when I go in for my physical next week.

I didn't know if you guys might have had the same problem and maybe could suggest something other than Zoloft for the attacks or to help the itching?

I feel like the time I ate two niacin pills on a bet! This itching is driving me batty!! I tried taking a hot shower to see if it helped and it didn't do anything.

Itch! itch itch!
