The melatonin especially helps, but so does the DHEA. I tried soy isoflavones before that, and they did eventually bring some relief, but it seemed like I had to keep upping the dose, and then I got a lot of bloating problems. If your perimenopausal itching and formication is all over and really severe (keeping you up at night, making you jump out of your seat, etc.) I recommend asking your doctor if it's okay to try a little DHEA in the morning and melatonin at night. I'm pretty sure it's not too little estrogen that's the problem, but too much of either FSH or LH in the absence of inhibin B. Good luck!
