What Causes Severe Body Itching While On Trazodone?
Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
Itching do seen in few users of trazodone, but not a common side effect.
But onset of itching after 10 yrs of use is less likely to be from medication. Better to get evaluated for liver function and kidney function tests and consult dermatologist for examination of skin.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
Wish you a good health.
Regards
