Hi,
It seems that you are having side effects of amphetamine.
Psychological side effects are known.
You are having delusion of parasitosis, it may be due to amphetamine.
You are having skin rash on back and arms.
That may be drug induced.
You consult your doctor from whom you took treatment, discuss with him about your problem.
He may change the drug.. Ok
Reassurance and psychotherapy will be helpful.
Local application of calamine lotion will improve the skin lesions.

I hope you might be satisfied with my answer.

Regards,
