losdodgers Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 just started lyrica yesterday, destroyed my anxiety and pain!! however my body is feeling itchy not too bad but randomly itchy and i have a small rash under both my knees. im on 75mg at night. has anyone experienced this and does it go away? i really dont think im allergic, and ive read that some people only experience rash/itching after abrupt discontinuation, so im guessing it might be a temporary side effect that will go away with time?? im really hoping so, bc lyrica seems to be really helping both my pain and anxiety at such a low dose!

crtclms Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hmm, ACs have a reputation for causing rashes. My husband is on Lyrica, but he is also on Lamictal and Tri-leptal, all of which can cause rashes. He has a rash on his shins pretty much continuously, and it is itchy, but not a big deal. I also have rashes from Lamictal, again pretty mild. But I'm not sure how much of a rash is safe on Lyrcia. Definitely, if it stops being mild, and becomes severe, go to the ER immediately. I am sure someone will come along that can give you a more precise answer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdodgers Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 im happy to report that my rash has went away, seemingly for good after the first day. I am still itchy, but less so than the first day and im almost positive its just a start up side effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
