Re: New symptom - itching is driving me crazy!

Yes, I can do the baths but I don't get in 4 a day. Sometimes 2.. I've just used my first treatment, it's once a day at bedtime. I'm a nighthawk, it's almost 1:30AM here! 
This is the three-day combo-pack so I'm hoping it works quickly. As I've said, I've been lucky enough to never have had one before.. It's a side effect of the antibiotics for my abscessed cyst.
The doctor gave me a two-week trial of Lyrica.. I always read up on new meds before I decide to take them, and I see that one of the side effects that may be experienced is depression or even suicidal thoughts.. I already have depression from all the stuff I've endured over the summer and Fall.. Is it worth the risk of getting worse depression to give Lyrica a try? He wants me to start it at 75mg twice a day, then see him in a couple of weeks to let him know how it's going..
Can anyone shed some light on this medication in conjunction with depression? My next counselling session isn't until early December so I don't know about waiting that long to ask her..
Thanks folks!
