I take lyrica (pregabalin) which causes formication.the lyrica (pregabalin) works great.are there any meds that can be taken with the lyrica (pregabalin) to mitigate this side effect ?

Atypical side effect: Never heard of formication as potential side effects of lyrica (pregabalin). If anything, it will help reduce it. Talk to your doctor for changing lyrica (pregabalin) to gabapentin or any other meds. I assume you are taking it for neuropathy??
