    Colette, consider Benadryl. Also helps with sleep disruption due to withdrawals. 👍🏻

    I took Duloxetin 60mg for a month. Had to stop due to what I thought was it causing high blood pressure but I think it was extreme stress. Broke foot then car wreck that totaled our car. I have GAD an Depression in US. I also have fibromyalgia an it did help with pain. Im thinking of getting back on. Just got Prozac out of my system. That stuff is terrible. I went crazy litteraly. But I do itch a little on any antidepressant. You might get some blood tests testing liver function. Hope it helps you.

    Hiya, I know it sounds crazy, but I have a plastic spaghetti spoon under the pillow and scratch like crazy......you could try calamine lotion or ask the pharmacist if there is something suitable..... I use after sun which helps sooth.... I'm now tapering off the Drug, however I wish you all the best and hope the itches disappear x
