Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.

Noted side effects of either Norvasc or Effexor. Both are reported to cause allergy/itching initially. Try a neutral aloe cream for relief. It will subside after couple of weeks.

If not the above, then allergy to food/insects needs a look with the help of dermatologist.

Let me know if I have missed out any other concern in your question.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

Sincerely,

Dr Sujeet N Charugulla,
