I switch off and on between benedryl and just a pm sleep aid so my body doesn't get too used to it. The tingling has to be horrible!! I get that and itching with certain pain meds.

Check the back of the package but Benadryl and a PM pain med usually contain the same ingredient diphenhydramine -it's just that the pain med also has ibuprofen or some other NSAID as well. In other words - both will probably help address the itching and any sleeping issues - the pain med will help if you have - you guessed it - aches and pains or fever.
