Ive been on the subs close to 3 weeks now, and I have sores all over my body in various stages of healing from itching, although it seems to be different spots on different days..?? Yesterday, it was my wrists, and top of hands, the day before it was my feet and ankles, other day, it was calves and lower legs area...why would it be different areas all the time?

At first I thought I had bed bugs or something, but Im pretty sure its the subs, I remember this happening when I took methadone/ heroin alot, but it seems to be alot worse with the subs, I usually itch these areas so hard, they bleed, but STILL remain itchy, how is this possible?

Ive read about this on here before, Ive tried taking a single benadryl,(spelling?), but doesnt seem to do anything, Im wondering if I should take more or try something else, Id like to stick to OTC though.
 
OTC you've got Zyrtec which is among the strongest of the new generation anti-histamines. Failing that you can get a Rx for a corticosteroid, which is what I had to do one time after picking up again after a long break. It was REALLY bad - super uncomfortable, can't sit still whole body itches.. that was a scary time.
