Anxiety and Itching?

[ShayBunnie]

It's been over 2 years now that I've been itching like crazy. My dr. did so many tests, kidney, liver, thyroid, aiRAB, hepatitis c, etc. and couldn't find anything physically wrong. I would change my diet here and there in case it was allergies and took a few different allergy meRAB. Even tried prescription lotions and creams, all with no relief. Finally I was going insane. Constant itching is unbearable. My dr. told me it was all in my head. He gave me an anxiety medicine which actually did stop the itching but I'm so confused. Why would I make myself itch? Has anybody else had this problem due to anxiety?

You were probably taking something on the side that wasn't agreeing with you. Be it, a multi- vitamin, or a supplement. I never heard of just being "itchy" for no reason.

I too get itching with my anxiety. You can absolutely get itching. So you aren't imaging things. My head and neck get itchy. I have tried everything and checked everything and there is no reason for it. But I do have lots of anxiety and panic disorder. Hang in there!
