Why does percocet make me itchy?

[Slacker]

Someones gotta know, why?

 

[quakefiend420]

i believe its hydrocodone...and that is one of the side effects...kinda like loratab

 

[Anubis]

you are having an adverse reaction to it, it shoyd say someplace in all that stuff they give you that if it happens to stop taking it

 

[djheater]

One of the viox relatives, Bextra can make your skin peel off in sheets apparently so don't complain.

ouch...is it still on the market?

 

[ShowdOWN]

percocet is oxycodone, similar to hydrocodone but not the same. and to answer your question, some people are allergic to it.

Hmm, just drank a quart of ice water and no mo itchieieis :thumbsup:

I believe they just pulled it off... I was poking around just now and it looks like phenobarbitol and a number of others can cause the reaction as well... It's really sad when it happens to children... Google "Stevens Johnson Syndrome" if you have a strong stomach.

That stuff makes me itch so damn bad...whew...I would nearly make my head and face raw scratching.

 

[shimsham]

that just means its working

 

[UglyCasanova]

The itch!

I remember constantly scratching at my face.

 

[BaboonGuy]

FWIW this happened to me as well. I asked my doctor and they told me to stop taking it immediately. You might want to be a little concerned.

 

[BaboonGuy]

Also this might be a good opportunity to parlay your inability to take Percocet into obtaining some medical marijuana.

ehh I dunno.

That sounds about right. From what I understand it's just because of the *codone in it. I am almost positive; but I am sure it's not because you're allergic to it.

I don't know, look it up I can't really be bothered with that but I am positive it's just a natural *codone reaction.

You are not allergic to it and no it is not something to contact your doctor over or be concerned about. The codone does make you itch, whether you have been popping pills regularly or you are on your first dose.

uhh ok, just keep on taking them until hives bust out on your nuts.

 

[Brutuskend]

A typical reaction to Opiates.

Those that are allergic or don't like the itching from percocets... i'll take 'em!

 

[Feldenak]

Yeah, my percosets are making me a little itchy....nothing to get concerned about though (at least for me).

I've know so many people that pop codone, many more a day than he is taking I am sure, and itching is normal. I've never busted out in hives, they have never said anything about busting out in hives (although I'm not really sure if they would tell me ), but itching is a normal thing.

The best opioid agonist is still Fetanyl.

i've taken a lot of them and never itched from it. However i did build up a tolerance to them way to quick.

yep, thats what they gave me before they cut my leg open and drilled a whole through my bone and i didn't don't remember feeling a thing. It could have been a combination of that and a .30 BAC though.

 

[Looney]

Scratching an itch while on the stuff is quite pleasurable too.

I've made a particular isomer of fetanyl so powerful just what you absorb through your skin can kill you. One kilogram of carfentanyl is equivalent to 40 metric tons of pure heroin.
