It is the drug that Lyrica was developed from and it is generic and inexpensive. According to my doc it is not much different and has been used for years. Not sure about the wine issue though.
For severe itching - and I know the kind you are experiencing - use ice packs to numb an area.
Sorry you are having to go through this.
