Hi Tiddler – I got the same sensation with Ritalin. I haven’t had it for a while and I tied it down to Ritalin plus being overtired. I am trying to got to bed early now (well – that”s proper time to the linears!) and it’s not so noticeable. It’s like a kind of muscle tightening but feels as you describe. A bit like my skin feels tight around my eye, but I think my body is adjusting to it now..
I think what we experienced isn’t formication. Formication is really really obvious and not slight – at least as far as I can gather. I have read that people scratch their skin to bits because it’s so horrible. It’s basically a hallucination brought about by the drugs.
Obviously if it becomes more than something you mildly notice then you need to see about it.
