In reply to Nardil Itchiness!, posted by ace on October 14, 2003, at 22:30:19
Nice to see you back, Ace. :-)
I didn't have the itchiness with Nardil, but the tricyclics were absolutely awful in that regard. I don't know if Nardil causes histamine release (like most narcotics, especially codeine, which cause itchiness), but I'll see if I can look into it. For some odd reason I haven't been able to get a single search engine to work on my computer for about two weeks now. What a pain. I'd bet that's the issue here though since you've never had an allergic reaction to it before.
If the problem does end up lingering a bit or just takes too long to resolve, I'd suggest talking to a doc about hydroxyzine -- it's commonly prescribed for itching and works great for it. I don't believe there's an interaction with Nardil, though it is an antihistamine.
