bodily sensations including severe pain. Another possibility would be a genetic dysautonomia, but this is rare and would have many additional symptoms.Have a mental health eval

All stimulant drugs have potential for serious withdrawal symptoms  including all sorts of parasympathetic nervous system expressions -  flushing, sweating, nausea, cramping and even seizures under certain conditions. A small dose of the medication just before you experience flushing helps.
