Can A Light Dose Of Paxil Cause Terrible Itching At Night?

Thank you. I hope you can help me. Every night I wake up because of itching. Sometimes my old mosquito bites start itching. Other times, I seem to get hives or just terrible itching on my skin. I ve been taking a light dose of Paxil --only 1/2 of the smallest dose, and not every day. Could that be the cause? I ve had basic blood work lately as part of my regular check-up and everything was okay.
