See your health care provider as soon as possible for consultation. Persistent itching can be caused by allergies to food or medications and by skin disorders such as scabies (which don't always have visible signs). A doctor exam is needed to find the cause of your itching. If your doctor can find no treatable cause, he or she may recommend an oral antihistamine to relieve the symptoms. If the cause is unknown, antihistamines, such as hydroxyzine (Atarax, Vistaril), may help. I hope this helps you. And good luck.

Yep it is so is sneezing strange as it is lol but if u said ur taking ultram? Stop now ultram makes methadone withdrawl worse not better! U can't take the stuff if your on methadone due to the fact that it can cause withdrawl! Sorry but I've gone through this and it just sucks but you will make it
