pregabalin and itchy skin

[almamatters]

Hi not sure if this is anxiety or what but since I took my pregabalin, have had 2 doses up to know, I have quite itchy skin on arms and face. Is this a known side effect (can't read the leaflet to check because of my allergy anxiety). Thanks for any advice, I am stressing now.

Itching associated with pregabalin has been reported. However, because the frequency is low, it's hard to say that it's definitely a cause in your case. Best to monitor it and discuss with your doctor.

Thank you. Little bit better today so will see how it goes.
