Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

You are already taking medicines for depression and blood pressure for long. That means it is possible that the body has some resistance built up against the anti-depressant. I suggest you should consult psychiatrist for further advice. You might be suffering from Somatoform disorder. You need psychotherapy associated with meditation for proper cure. Itching and tingling are associated with psychic troubles. Ignore them for few days and they vanish.
Get well soon.
