Tracy,
Yes, itching is my only symptom. It's my head and my arms mainly. Also, within the past months, I have noticed the worse my legs are, the more I have stiffness in my right arm. Could that be RLS/WED also?

Re: Lexapro-Is this a problem?
Many of us talk about itching as a component of WED. For many years, I thought I could control my symptoms with lotion! Any sensations on my legs make the WED go crazy - whether its itching from dry skin or tight clothing or socks. It's not so much that I itch, though, I suppose, more that the sensations of itching are harbingers of WED.
Opioids make a lot of us itch, too - but don't think you're taking any.

Re: Lexapro-Is this a problem?
Thanks!!! Wow, I never knew this disease had so many components.
I haven't been taking the Lexapro but I am taking hydroxyzene, which has all the itch relieving benefits of Benadryl but doesn't bother my WED. Ironically my dog takes it also for fear of severe storms.
