Hi Sbrace,

Welcome to the forum! I was on Lyrica for only a short time for my seizures and the drug just increased my seizures terribly so I went off the drug. If you have a rash and your skin is itching you may be allergic to the drug I had the same problem when I was on tegretol, teriptal, and Lamictal. You should let your Dr. know about this and have a skin biopsy done to see if the Lyrica is causing a rash. If you have noticed an increase in your seizures you may be having the same problem as I did and that was the drug was not strong enough for my seizures. Ask you neuro to do a DNA test on you by doing that they can find out what AED (seizure med) will work the best for you with the least side effects. I wish you only the best of luck and May God Bless You!
