Fibromyalgia treatment

I've had fibromyalgia for 10 years and was recently on Pregabalin which helped with the pain but I'm now itching all over. Anyone else had this reaction?

ah so not just me.

Have been on maximum dose of Pregabalin (Lyrica) for 6 or 7 years and spend all day scratching which is very painful in my dry joints of fingers, hands and wrists.

I am on pregablin and I get really dry itchy skin especially after shaving/waxing legs. At night I can make them bleed from itching so much never put connection together xx

Hi Alib46

I am so genuinely sorry to read that and I would discuss this with your GP or Medical Specialist to make them aware of your side effects. I have just been reading on Drugs.Com about Pregabalin side effects and itching and hives are listed among them.

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck with this issue.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Thank you everyone who took the time to respond. I'm so glad I'm not the only person to have this itching which I'm now sure is Lyrica related. Doctors on the 19th
