I can't get up in the morning and I am still itching myself in my sleep. It has done nothing but make the mornings a living hell.

Comment:
Pill form is the best for me to take and I can take this pill with water--whereas I have to take some meds with milk for stomach reasons. The only drawback is I really need to take it early before bedtime because it is hard for me to get up and get ready for work---that is how well it works by stopping the itching.

Comment:
I only began taking this treatment today at noon-time. It did relieve my itching for about two hours, then I had to take another dose. It makes me sleepy headed and need to take a nap or lay down and rest.
