drives me up the wall.
meaning the wall pertains to your comfort zone...
so if you are saying up the wall...
it drives you to that extent of losing your mind. as crazy...
why not say you're driving me crazy...
anyway idiomatic expressions is hard to understand... |

Yep, you can say that, or "driving me nuts/insane".
There're many expressions that fit the bill.
