A friend of mine was put on Effexor by her doctor and because Im on it too, she asked me if I had itching. I have not. Itching can be because of a variety of reasons, and no, its not an allergy to the medication, its usually just a chemical reaction and it does go away.
I advised my friend to dab on some Apple Cider Vinigar (sounds gross I know) with a cotton ball on the area. You can buy apple cider vinigar almost anywhere you buy your groceries. It relieves the itching, but does stink your leg up (or arm, or wherever youre getting this.)
Hope that was helpful.
