Poor Nakita! I had nerve damage after extensive jaw surgery and for a few years afterwards would suddenly and occasionally feel as though I had hundreds of ants crawling all over my lower lip and across my gums. It wasn't like pins and needles, it was more like a mild electric current running across. There is no escape from it and I did used to feel as though I was desparate to run away from my own body. I hope you can find some help for Nakita. Are the meds some kind of sedative?
