Brief Answer:
It seems like just a simple side effect of anxiolytics.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

I asked about meds and anxiety exactly because strange feeling on skin and hair is side effect of anxiolytic use .

In a number of Xanax users strange skin sensations are common some feel wind touching skin, some feel pins and needles, some feel bugs crawling some feel wind touching their hair.Sometimes it happens immediately as one starts using Xanax and sometimes it starts after some time as drug builds up in the body.

This thing is not of any concern , you can either neglect it, and if you can't then you can discuss alteration in your dose or changing your drug to get relieved from symptoms.

For now you shouldn't be much concerned , just let it be , but if it causes much discomfort, discuss with dr for a change.


Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!


Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad.
