@specialteacher I am just seeing this, so by now you must have found a solution to your itching.

I was at my dermatologist’s on Wednesday and told him my scalp and body itching was driving me crazy. He has prescribed Gabapentin 100mg. To be taken three times a day, but told me to start with just once a day at bedtime because it causes sleepiness and unsteadiness, then go on to twice a day when that is tolerated well, and finally to three times a day.

I found that one capsule at night helped considerably with my itching and since I had no reactions to the Gabapentin (other than slight nausea), I took one in the morning too. Not much difference, but at least I am not clawing at myself. Maybe the itching will stop after a few days of taking this medication. I am going to stay at two capsules a day for now, and if that doesn’t completely ease off the itching in a week or so, will try three times a day as the dermatologist has suggested. Reason why I am doing just twice a day is because there was improvement already with one dose and Ifntwo doses finally work, why take three!?
