Terrible itching can be a side effect from liver disease. (and gall bladder disease).
I see he takes Cymbalta, and this drug has caused liver damage
in some people. Use of Cymbalta with alcohol will accelerate this problem if it occurs.
If the itching is due to pain meds (opiates) Atarax (hydroxyzine) is usually used. Or the pain meds can be changed.
Some people get the itching from synthetic opioids and do better on Morphine. And there are some who have the reverse experience.
The itching should be evaluated by a doctor. It could mean several things.
