Has anyone who has stopped taking seroquel cold turkey had non-stop itching especially at night?
The experts suggest that you avoid certain food and drink that can make the itch worse, like coffee, beer, and super sugary snacks, but in reality, if you are experiencing the withdrawals like I am, these things feel pretty necessary right now, and I'm not too keen to give them up. I've found that taking an allergy pill/anti-histamine helps quell the itch, as does submerging your body in a hot bath. I'm sure that the Aveeno oatmeal bath designed to help alleviate itch is probably also helpful in easing the incredible itches.
Also, watch for nausea, night-time vomiting, and a sudden sensitivity to every bug that is floating around, (I quit Seroquel two weeks ago, and in addition to still having symptoms like the itchiness, I have also had the flu and just got a cold). This wouldn't be weird, except that while I was on the Seroquel, I swear I was sort of superhuman in terms of what I could put my body through and still feel well. It might just have been that I was sleeping so much on it. Eventually though, I realized that I wasn't 'myself' on the pill. I kept having ideas that I was going to get better and feel better, but I couldn't follow through on anything, and wasn't inspired whatsoever, and felt like a loser. Since stopping the pill, I really feel like I am coming back to myself. I am still taking Cipralex for my bi-polar, but after learning that Seroquel was dangerous for some people long term and would make it near impossible to have a baby on it, I decided it was time to give it up.
I'm glad I did. Despite the terrible itch.

Does Herion based ecstasy make you itch?
Really, really good heroin makes you itchy all over. As soon as you smoke a couple of hits of really good heroin, your whole body starts itching all over. This is true of other strong opiates, too (like morphine and oxycodone).
The reason is that heroin releases histamines in your body (histamines are what produce physiological symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, etc., in order to flush out bacteria and viruses. They are your body's response to, and defense against, invading bacteria and viruses.) Basically, heroin releases these histamines, which trick your body into thinking it's itchy.
Why does your tattoo raise up and itch?
O.K., a professional tattooist will always shave the skin before he tattoos it...And anyone who has shaved an erogenous zone will know it itches when the hair grows back....Now add to that the feeling of the skin healing, which is marked by being very itchy, and you have a double-itch whammy...BUT, dont scratch it! As this will disturb the top layer of skin which will be re-forming...Try this instead...Slap it with short popping slaps, not hard enough to bruise, of course, but it will help satisfy the itch...Or pour some rubbing alcohol on it....By the time it starts itching it shouldn't burn it but will help cool and satisfy the itch....Hope this helps

GOOD ANSWER!
Scabies is a skin disorder that you get from dirt, mostly people that don't wash much and people that live on the streets get it. You know if you have scabies when they first start appearing on your arms. You mostly catch scabies by kissing, hugging and huddling. People that have scabies are afraid of what people will think so they cover their body as much as they can. The worst case of scabies is what children usually get between the age of 11 and 16. If you know anyone with scabies make sure you do not have physical contact with them, for example: kissing, hugging, huddling, an skin contact. Some people that have the worst case of scabies died from it, because they didn't regularly go to their doctor.
SO IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WITH SCABIES DO NOT GET INTO CONTACT WITH THEM!

A: It's probably itching cuz you have hair growing there. But you should still let your doctor check it out during your next office visit. ANOTHER ANSWER: A few things to remember- your body is changing and growing. Make sure you wash down there EVERY day. If the itching is persistent and red and rash-like, you could have "jock itch". That's a fungs that grows in your crotch. If it's not too bad, get ahold of a can of "jock-itch " spray at your local drug store. CUREX is one kind and there are others. I know it's VERY embarrassing to bring it up to your parents or your doctor. Follow my suggestions, and if it gets worse, ask a parent to take to the doctor. Doctors have seen EVERYTHING, so don't be embarrassed. Tell your parents you are old enough to go into the doctors office on your own, you are old enough ! Hope this helps you out.

Reccuring back itch with no redness or rash should it get checked out?
So, I'm 17 and a senior in high school. I have what you would call a 'normal' stress level. I work five days a week at an ACE hardware and have a normal social life and i do average in school.On one spot on my back, a small spot near my right shoulder blade, has had an annoying itch that started about two years ago (just before i started working at ACE) and it occurs about 5-10 times a day for a short period of time.I have no allergies (except to bee's but i don't think that's relevant.) and i take adderal for my ADHD-i (ADHD-inactive). My laundry is done weekly, clothing, bedding and my work vest. And I have good hygiene and i have changed my brand of soap and shampoo&conditioner several times in hopes that they might be the cause.What I would like to know is: should i get it looked at by my doctor? Does anyone have an idea what might be causing it?
I'm no expert, but it does take time. I'm sure you know that Calamine Lotion is the primary drying/healing agent, but you will still be driven NUTS by the itching UNLESS you add a 1 oz. tube of Hydrocortosone cream (OTC) to the 6 ounce bottle of Calamine Lotion. This means a new container, as you will want to add water if it doesn't mix easily and well. .... say1/4 of the volume of the mix, to start, and go higher until YOU are happy with its application viscosity. Use a small battery driven "drink mixer", or similar means to make the "cream" smooth and frothy and you'll need a larger container to bottle the increased volume of water and Hydrocortosone. I suggest application with say, a 3/4 inch wide artists brush. Works great for me, and doesn't waste the material. I'd guess that it takes about a month to clear up this form of psoriasis - give or take a week or two, but the action towards healing is quite apparent once this combo is applied.
