Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / December 2006Itching & benadryl
I get some itching sometimes, often at night that makes it hard to fall asleep. I was advised here to try benadryl, and it worked, but I *hate* the feeling of benadryl both when I take it and the next day. So I've been trying Children's Benadryl, which is like half a regular benadryl, and it works and has no side effects for me. Plus they're chewable, which is a nice break from the pill-popping. >I get some itching sometimes, often at night that makes it hard to fall >asleep.

Russian, I use Benadryl itch stopping Gel,extra strength itch relief.It has a blue cap on the bottle.My face itches really bad sometimes and I can't use steroids on my face.So this turned out to be the only thing that helped.It also helps anywhere else that you itch.The only drawback is that after it dries it flakes off and it looks like my skin is peeling.It washes off with plain water.Hopefully this will be of some help.

Never heard of it before - I'll look for it and see how it works in the key itch spots. Thanks. >I get some itching sometimes, often at night that makes it hard >to fall asleep.

My wife has RLS (restless legs syndrome), the fancy name for what a friend of mine calls "the jimmy legs". Benadryl brings on "the jimmy legs" for her too. |
