If they don't drive me crazy, I'll end up slapping myself to death trying to kill them. AAAAAARGH!!!
Have you stopped or started any new medications recently? Sounds similar to DT's but I know that's not it. However, stopping a med abruptly could have same effect? I've had itching like that, but never mistook for bugs, although I could see how one might. Like to have drove me crazy. I truly understood suicidal impulses for the first time. Turned out to be either Tofranil, a tricyclic antidepressant I had taken for years, or the pink dye used to make the caps [got similar reaction to pink and white benedryl]. Hope you find relief SOONEST! With genuine empathy - billie
