Hello,
I take 180mg a day of codeine phosphate from my tylenol 4's. However, recently I have begun getting extremely itchy from this. Also, I don't really get enough relief/ all day relief from the codeine for my pain.
I have been prescribed hydrocodone, oxycodone, and dilaudid in the past and I don't ever remember the itchiness from those?
Why is it possible that codeine makes me very itchy to the point of small hives but hydro/oxy/dilaudid does not?
I would like my PM to switch me to something that doesn't make me itchy (preferably oxy/dialudid) but I don't want to come across as drug seeking?
Also, i'm afraid if i tell him the codeine makes me very itchy that he will avoid all narcotics (because he will say they all will make me itchy) and will switch me back to stupid tramadol and butrans patch..... What do you guys think, how should i play this?
