Idk what to do now

ive come to release i may have some kind of neurological sort of condition causing me to have crawling skin sensations (formication/paresthesia) as ive finally been able to rule out any external problem.

my problem is now i dont know what to do, im on an antipsychotic and very stable so this is why its not making since to me, my mental symptoms felt a little worse starting last week when i started staying in a place where im not by myself and there are people talking and walking around the house all day.

i have been having formication or paresthesia tho for a while now and sometimes its not as bad but it is very uncomfortable and i would like to get rid of it

I do not like bugs and whenever I encounter one it triggers a crawling sensation that may last 15 minutes or 2 weeks. I know of no med to help it but Ativan - but there’s so many drawbacks to a benzo. I don’t know what else to tell you except ride it out and hopefully it will stop soon now that you’re away from the bedbugs.

i stopped klonopin a week ago, i cant recall whether if it was helping

how long have you been having the crawling sensations?

almost 2 months, closer to a month and a half

and the bedbugs triggered it?

i dont think i started noticing or feeling this until i saw one of the bugs and than found out what they were, i think that triggered it because they had to have been around for a while to get to the poing they got to when u threw my bed out but i never saw them. once i saw them and understood what it was than everything changed

i read benadryl can help, i took it once but dont remember if it really helped and didnt take it again because my throat felt tight the morning after the night i took it, but that may have been from smoking

yea, I just think it will go away with time. But you could try Benadryl again if you don’t want to use your klonopin

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It makes me jumpy and irritable when it’s happening to me.
