Help with heavy dope itch while sleeping

[jackie jones]

Sometimes when I dose with something heavy, I get the usual itchiness which tends to be located on my face. I can control it well enough when I'm conscious, however, when I sleep I sometimes itch way too much during the night and hurt my face, making it tender in the morning and peel days later.

What can I do about this unconscious behavior? Will benadryl work? I dont want to wear mittens to bed, but it may come to that. Any suggestions?

Benadryl works.

I have the same problem. I scratch my face and my whole body very hard and then it looks awful and leaves marks for days. I have even broke skin in my sleep.

I have heard that benadryl helping -- I suppose any antihistimine well work. Maybe claritin, if you don't want the intense drowiness with benedryl.

hydroxine (Atarax,Vistaril) is very effective anti-itch medicine IME, but is prescription many places.

I would be careful about mixing benadryl, dope and sleep. It sounds like it could be a death recipe
