> Don't want to scare you, but that itch eventually morphed into full-blown Stevens Johnson syndrome for me. I didn't get the rash when I began itching (at 125mg) of Lam so my pdoc didn't think of having me reduce it. It got so bad I was goudging my scalp from scratching and stopped on my own.
Yuck, sounds like a rough time for you. Mine is not that bad yet, and it's not the first time I've had the travelling itch.
