How do you stop/prevent the Itchyz Caused by opiates?
I took a 10mg oxycodone and now im itching like crazy!! this used to not happen to me so i didnt worry about it. i havnt taken an opiate in awhile and my tolerence is el zilcho. This sucks, i was grocery shopping and couldnt stop itch'n my crotch and everyone was staring at me. I look/feel like i have crabs. :facepalm: :thumbsdown::thumbsup:

Jamie madrox- whoop woop, and seriously? iv never taken benadryl for anything besides and allergic reaction. i didnt know that it would help for drug side effects. huh
The itch from opiates is caused by a histamine reaction, Diphenhydramine is an anti-histamine. It works for DXM itches as well.
It stings, but proves you're a man and can take pain :thumbsup:
I second this, and can verify it from personal experience.
