I am so sorry to hear this! I do not do well with rashes, and can only imagine what you're going though.. 

Have you tried to get another opinion from another doctor? It doesn't make sense that your quality of life should be so drastically changed by a medication. There must be some kind of alternative.

Something else you may be taking may be conflicting with it. Read the "What special precautions should I follow?" section here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000634/

And here are a couple links about possible alternatives that may be good to talk to your doctor about:

I hope these help. You should not have to suffer through that discomfort. I wish you the best. Let us know if you find something!

Best,
