Delusions/parsitosis: Delusions of parasitosis is the medical term and can often accompany withdraw symptoms. There are medications your dr. Can rx for you to combat these untoward side effects of withdraw. Good luck.

Formication: Formication is the term for the "bugs crawling" sensation in withdrawal. This is distinct from delusions of parasitosis, which has the fixed conviction of being infested with bugs or other organisms. People with formication readily accept proof that they don't have an infestation. Delusions of parasitosis is much more chronic and is often resistant to treatment.
