hello.. welcome to health care magic... first of all I would like to know more details of your symptoms: your age, sex, since how long you are feeling like this, any diurnal variation, have you got skin lesions on itching site due to excessive itching, apart from itching are you feeling any somatic pains - bugs underlying skin localise to any specific body part etc... After getting your answers, I would decide regarding your illness . If I found delusional parasitosis, than I would like to start pimozide 2 mg tablet in night dose. I would like to increase dosage according to response. pimozide 4 mg to 6 mg gives excellent response in such conditions. best regards & thanks...
