Oh no, she's got the bugs. If you're on the wrong dose, or that particular stimulant doesn't work well for you, it can start to feel like you've got bugs crawling under your skin.

I spent a number of years doing care for developmentally disabled adults, and saw it there. It's a terrifying situation to be in, and I hope they can get it figured out for her!

I ended up talking to the parents and they say that if the sensations don't end by the end of the week they will look at asking about non stimulants with her doctor.

Thank you.
