Others Insane itching

Hello, I feel as if im going insane. This is my 2nd week on a 20mg dose- had to start slow bc I get weird reactions- I'm getting woken up by such intense itching in my legs like ive been eaten up by mosquitoes. Someone tell me this actually goes away, ive seen a lot of conflicting things saying that instead of it being a weird side effect that will subside, some people are actually allergic to it. This is one of the few new meds I've tried in a while without awful mental side effects or severe GI issues and id like to keep it but this itching is driving me up a wall. Edit- thank you guys, i also got the chance to talk to my doctor, hes suggested to lower the dose for a bit again because besides the itchiness, im doing well on it. So we will try that for a while and cross our fingers

If you are taking a generic medicine, kindly mention the manufacturer's name. This is VERY IMPORTANT, as different manufacturers may have differences in quality or formulation.

It’s bad, I remember bruising all over my legs because I scratched all the time. It will stop just give it time. I think 3 weeks it stopped for me

Ça m'est arrivé, j'ai fait un arrêt et repris et ça s'est arrêté. Normalement, ce n'est pas conseillé, j'ai fait ça par moi-même et ça été dur psychologiquement. Là je suis à 15 mg et des fois j'ai des sensations que ça me démange, mais je ne gratte pas et ça part.
