In reply to this freaky crawly feeling whaaaaaaaa is this?, posted by antitrust on February 15, 2004, at 14:19:47
Are you taking any adrenergic or dopaminergic drugs? Tingling on the scalp is often what happens when you've got too much noradrenaline; ask the people on Strattera (or ephedrine, Ritalin, or amphetamine, for that matter) if they've ever gotten that. I once took tons of ephedrine + a beta blocker to keep my heart from exploding, and got so much tingling on my scalp, it was incredible.
The sensation of bugs crawling on the skin could also be "formication", a form of tactile hallucination common in ultra-high-dose psychostimulant abusers. I doubt this is what is happening to you.
If you are not taking anything besides the Vistaril, I am dumbfounded. Ask your pdoc.
