What Causes Severe Itching All Over Body While On Klonopin?

I have taken 2 klonopin today. 1 mg at 10.30 and the second at 4:30. For the last 2 nights I have had terrible itching all over my body. I took 1 benadryl 25mg. at 7:00 pm because the itching was so bad. I also take 60 milligrams of generic Paxil every AM. I have taken Klonopin for several months and only had itching around my waist. Why is this happening and should I take my 3rd Klonopin before bed.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, late sensitivity of drug could be possible reason better to stop taking medicine till itching symptoms overs and for itching "Tab hydroxyzine 10 mg" can be taken once the symptoms improves you can start the medicine again and if itching comes back then it would be confirm case of drug sensitivity, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
