pristiq allergic reaction?
Visited Mayo and was put on Gabapention and Prestiq 3 weeks ago and Gabapention i could tell started working right away.
However this week i can barely sleep due to itching something terrible....Feels like bugs are crawling on me.
Messaged Mayo and they called me and said to stop taking as i may be starting to get a allergic reaction to it as it is building up in my system.
I am on my starting dose of 50mg.
Has anyone else had this issue?
My head...neck,ears and eyes are itching like crazy.
Shout out to Mayo nurse for calling me personally after i messaged doctor through the portal.
They said doc would get in touch with me tomorrow when she gets back in to work.
I am bummed because i was starting to feel like my mind was starting to finally slow down some.
Hopefully i dont have to start over on something else as i feel it was starting to work and my options are limited as i am a poor metabolizer of most meds i have tried according to the results of my visit.

Still itching...Was told it could be Gabapenten and not the Pristiq which i started both at the same time.
So the wait continues to see if the itching stops.
With my luck Gabapenten will be the culprit.
Starting to feel dizzy on day 2 of not taking Prestiq.
Thankfully i am only 3 weeks in on both meds.
Im tired of the spinning wheel of meds and these meds i could tell were working better than anything else i have taken....Figures!!

1 ReactionCould you send another message asking for something for the itching? There are over the counter and prescription options. Good luck, I'm pulling for you!
