Has anyone experienced this?? I have been taking 50mg for about 8 weeks and quit about a week ago. I decided to stop it to see if the itching would reside but still no luck! Its driving me crazy!! Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Don't worry i had this itching... i had it for about 3 weeks,1 week before coming off Sertraline then about 3 weeks after going cold turkey. I used a ti itch moisturizer which helped after about 3 day. Also had vivid dreams, terrible broken sleep, so feeling really tired and also brain shivers (zaps) and the back of my head between my ears which are still going on. Apparently these can last for a long time.

I don't take Sertraline, I take Duloxetine. After a few weeks of taking it, I have the itching. I don't know whether the new anxiety symptoms or side effects. I know antidepressants might make skin dry, so I thought I have itching because my skin is dry.
