What Causes Itching On The Neck And Back While On Flexeril?
I started taking flexeril a month ago and I also take tramadol occasionally for pancreatic pain. The last 3 weeks I have been extremely itchy -- my neck, back, trunk, arms, and fingers -- like I have a hundred mosquito bites! There is no rash. Could this be a medicine reaction of should I see a dermatologist? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
I suggest using antihistamines daily such as Cetirizine for the itching.
I also recommend using Calmine lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
