I had undergone angioplasty a year ago. Clopidogrel 75 mg is prescribed to time blood. I was already allergic to wet weather and clopidogrel had increased the allergy. I was itching terribly and my back was covered with blood stains from scratching. It is now kept under control by an expensive lotion (Rs. 900+ for 200 ml) containing phytosterols. Another problem is insomnia. Etizola and solopos (0.25 and 0.5 mg) were ineffective. I keep awake throughout the night sleeping early morning for 3+ hours. Sometimes additional avil (6 mg or one fourth of a tablet) helps. Immediately after breakfast (whole wheat bread) I sleep for 3 or 4+ hours making up the lost sleep. It looks as if day and night had been interchanged. Any suggestion? I shall take it up with my cardiologist before using the drugs. You would be immunized against consequences.

Please post list of all your present medicines. Sleep problems are sometimes due to metoprolol. Dry skin increases scratching, reduce use of soap and towel, rub body lotion or cold cream or coconut oil on wet skin after bathing.
