After looking up the Medrol dose pack, I read that some or at least one of the side effects can be itching in some people, albeit it's rare, as steroids sometimes are given to reduce certain skin disorders that cause itching. As far as the withdrawls, you can have them, but I could not find anything that would cause withdrawl after only one medrol dose pack. You may be experiencing some other problems you might want to talk over with your doctor. If you're having this sort of problem he/she should be told of what has happened when you've taken this medication. Best of luck!
