I had itching of my arms would usually come on at night and it was so intense I just wanted to be put out of my misery. THEN I did some research. LOW DOSE NALTREXONE OMG THE ITCHING IS GONE. start out at 1.5 mg a month upping 1mg a month till you reach 4.5mg. I also take it at nite along with 200 mg of generic welbutrin. You have to twist a drs. Arm to get them to give it to you. Good luck.

Welcome to Connect, @cae1958,

A number of studies have shown low dose naltroxone to be an effective antipruritic agent in brachioradial pruritus – thanks for sharing your insights. When were you diagnosed with brachioradial pruritus? May I ask what other treatments you’ve tried?

Does the Naltrexone still work for you??

That is exactly what I have been suffering with! I need to find a doctor who treats this. My DO in NJ used the ice test and I felt 100% relief. Now I am Florida and I need a DO that still uses manipulations.==
