Default Itching can be a symptom of Neuopathy....

Just makes me wonder. I may have to go off the Lyrica, but not until they give me a back up medicine, because it still is working for alot of the other pain I have in my feet.
I have read that itching in some cases is actually considered mild nerve pain.
I would venture to think it is not the Lyrica, but a symptom of your neuropathy, wait it out a little before coming off Lyrica, as you know these neuro symptoms can come, go, change, etc.......

I don't think there are too many safe alternatives besides Gabapentin & Lyrica, other than supplements, which I am starting to dabble in.

I have had mild itching at times, but not too often.
