A doctor told me do not go on pregabalin because the side effects are too bad.

Ok, I only feel this when I have missed a dose of pregabalin. I was thinking it was a symptom of fibro, but since I don't get itchy crawling skin any other time like that. . I read some info where others were saying the same thing about either coming off of pregabalin or missing a dose like I have done a few times before. Maybe we are both correct missing a dose or coming off pregabalin can cause one to hallucinate feeling like there entire body is covered in bugs crawling underneath their skin. Lets call a a spade a spade that's (withdrawal.) Thanks for your answer.

They want to put me on that drug but I'm too scared and reading the side effects doesn't make it any easier for me to want to get on it. For now I will pass. I guess you think it's worth it.

I'm on pregablin and still have that itchy, crawling, bug-like sensation when I take it

I can't say I've felt the crawling sensation but I can definitely tell when I've missed a dose of my pregabalin. Just one missed dose and my body starts to feel heavy.
Wishing you pain free days 💜
