I don't know quite where to post this, or how to find
out what is causing this.My skin feels somewhat deadened lately, sort of numb.
It also itches, particularly at night when trying to fall
asleep, the least little thing touching it sets me off, yet
when I go to scratch it feels numb, like the itchiness
is inside and I can't reach it. I also get sharp, stabbing pains
in my legs or wherever, usually at night when trying to
fall asleep. It often takes me a good couple hours to fall
asleep.I once had this numb feeling on Zoloft, but haven't
taken that for quite awhile. I recently went off of
Paxil (3 weeks ago?), then started on Effexor, for only
2 days before I lost my nerve to take it anymore.
That's been a good couple weeks I quit that.Since I'm off all antidepressants, I would think this
feeling should have gone away by now. Doctor says it's
anxiety, I don't know. I suffer from both depression
and anxiety.I'm wondering if it's the spastic colon medicine I'm on,
it's called dicyclomine (brand name: Bentyl), take one before
every meal. I've looked up the side effects, and none
say numbness or itchiness.Anyone have any ideas what is wrong with me? It's most
disturbing and I want it to go away! I'm also extremely
impatient lately, cranky and moody, and am easily
upset just by things like going to the grocery, I feel like
I want to scream, and I get this feeling of "unreality."I've posted before, but no one ever answers me.
Thanks,
Marci
