I Have Just Started Brintellix And Have Started Scratching Myself

I have just started Brintellix and have started scratching myself like crazy, my entire chest, arms and stomach are in a constant state of being itchy. I am only on my third day/dose at 10 mg. I'm assuming I'm having an allergic reaction?
I'd like to know if there is an alternative to this particular medication - I am specifically thinking of Cymbalta.
