I was diagnosed w/Grovers & tried steroids, many prescriptions & OTC creams & antihistamines to no avail. I didn’t sleep at night for over a year.
I switched dermatologists & she had me try GABAPENTIN, Doxepin Hydrochloride & Triamcinolone Creams. I took 200mg at night & 100mg 3Xs a day. It finally worked & I sleep all night.
For maintenance the last 6 months, I use 200 mg of Gabapentin at night & alternate 3 creams (including CETAFIL OTC).
I’m sleeping like a baby, but have developed an autoimmune disease (Mucous Membrane Pemphigold), I have been told they are not related. I many have developed it because of other autoimmune conditions that I have, but am going to Cleveland Clinic for that.
I may sound like a “hot mess”, but am actually sleeping, not itching & feeling great.
