hello @tct. I have had a facial itch for about 14 years now. I have seen 7 different dermatologists, and tried all kinds of OTC and prescription meds. I was prescribed Gabapentin on 3-22-21. She said to start with 300, if that didn't ease it go to 600, then 900. I settled on 600 but really still have the itch. When I started having AFIB I was prescribed Metropolol and Eliquis on 10-30-21. So, I've had the itch for many years prior. I can't say it got worse since on these two new meds, but it is still ongoing. I don't know if this helps you at all, but when I saw ITCH, I thought I'd just give you my experience. I may go back up to 900 mg just to see if it relieves it any more. Is your itch body wide? As you, mine gets worse when I try to fall asleep. They told me it is probably neurological - then I started to think if it is related to the electrical impulses precipitated by the afib - except that I've had the itch much longer. It's certainly a conundrum. Good luck. Again, this probably doesn't really apply to you, but I wish you good luck.
