  1. Of or relating to formication.
    • 1973, Oliver Sacks, Awakenings:
      It was clear that the action of the drug was, in a sense, unpredictable, in that it might call forth a variety of behaviours: given the initial form of behaviour — whether tongue-pulsing, therapeutic, catatonic, ticcy-palilalic, formicatory, or hallucinatory — the rest of the reaction would follow this form.
