uncontrollable itchy scalp

I am on week 11 of treatment, interferon and riba, about 2 weeks ago, my scalp started to get very itchy, I have used a variety of different shampoos for dandruff, none seem to work on helping the itch. It seems to be worse in the evening when I'm finally relaxing. Is this common and does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried Neutrogena T Gel yet? That one did a pretty good job of keeping my itching and dandruff in check. Benadryl helps, too. You may consider asking your doctor for something stronger for the itching, like Atarax.

I had the exact same thing -- it was terrible!  

What worked on the scalp reasonably well was using either johnson's baby shampoo or selsen blue, and a ton of scalpicin, which is topical hydrocortisone for the scalp.  Also took a lot of benadryl.
