Hi , I was on Gabapentin for restless legs and had terrible Itchy skin all over and bad neck pain so I switched to Pregabalin and the itch and neck pain disappeared just the same medication but slightly different side effects worth a try the Itch and pain were driving me mad never a 100% solution but near enough good luck God Bless you all you are in my prayers.
