[QUOTE=singleprego]Try adding a non-drowsy antihistamine. See if that helps. I would start itching every time my boss would come by to chat.... [/QUOTE]

 

You mean like claritin?

 

 

I use generic loratidine. Claritin and Alavert are name brands of Loratidine.

Ryan has been on vyvanse 30mg for over 3 months. He is doing very well in school, focus, behaviour and at home also. Some rebound but not too bad. Some moodiness but not too bad. Manegable.

 

Lately he has been very itchy. There is no rash, nothing on his skin but he complains of itchiness and will scratch at small areas of his body or ask me to scratch his back. I have tried numerous lotions, cut his bath time down to 3xs a week, put a humidifier in his room...nothing. I notice he gets  *the itchies* when he is told to do something or when he needs to do something he doesnt want to. This is nt the only time, but i do notice a pattern.

Had his IEP meeting today and the teacher said she has noticed it also. Today she said he had his hand half way up his jeans(the bottom part!). She said she sent him one day to the nurse cuz he ws scratching his wrist so much. She says she sess it also when he is nervous or doesnt want to do something

 

Not sure what to do. I hate to take him off the meds, which are working so well otherwise...and still am not really sure if its something irratating his skin or anixiety..

Try adding a non-drowsy antihistamine. See if that helps. I would start itching every time my boss would come by to chat....
