I have periodic itching of the legs. No signs of a rash or anything. The only thing that works to stop the itching is atarax 10mg. No doctor can diagnos the cause. Do you have any idea?
Q: how long does atarax 10mg act in your system

Hi Jim,
It's impossible for us to give you a diagnosis over the Internet. However, a common cause of itching is dry skin. Could this be the issue for you, do you think? Drinking plenty of water (at least 8 to 10 8-oz glasses per day) will help keep you hydrated from within and applying a fragrance-free moisturizer 1 to 2 times per day will help from the outside. If that doesn't work, then you might want to get a second opinion from another doctor, possibly a dermatologist to begin with.
Good luck,
Kathi
