ok so i have been taking opiates for a while. Now and i have dealt with the itch for years. But it has recently gottin worse and i have read about using benadryl. I have the sray and i also have the pills i just wanted to kno if #1 the spray shit works and #2 how many of the pills whould i ake to control the itch thakns.ps: I take about 130 miligrams a day not to sure if that help at all
 
Try eating 25 or 50mg of the pills (if they are the little pink ones then that is 1 or 2 pills) about half an hour before you dose (you can eat them at the same time as your opiate dose if you prefer). Don't take too much (more than 4 at once) or you might feel uncomfortable or go to sleep.

The topical spray should work if you have itching in a specific place.
 
Cant help you, but I never get the itch, all my friends are jealous because there sitting there itching and I'm not. Doest matter how much oxy I do, I just never get the itch.
 
I love the Itch..!! The stronger the itch ..the more potent my opiate feels..!! I know I am not the only one who feels this way. ..or am I..??

You may be ;)

Personally I hate it with such a passion. But it only happens transiently, on certain batches of (usually) poor quality heroin. I don't itch from anything else, and strangely enough, superb heroin causes no itching whatsoever The body is such an anomaly :)

promethazine always worked for me, dimenhydrinate is also an acceptable substitute
 
I love the itch. Benadryl works a little but I have never found anything to get rid or even come close to getting rid of the itch.

The only time it really bothers me is after drinking a lot of poppy tea. My face gets so damn itchy I end up with red all around my eyes from itching my face.

+1...I love it as well. I love the way it feels when I go to rub my nose when I got the itch and it just feels half-ass numb when I rub. Only time it bothers me is when I'm driving and I have it just above my ankle in my sock.


lolz...Tyrone Biggums loves him some peanut butter and crack sandwiches.

To answer the OP, it's pretty much been said. I've never found anything to get rid of it and I don't mind not getting rid of it lol.
 
The only thing that will get rid of the itch for me is ice in a plastic bag applied to the itch for 10 - 15 minutes. It like freezes the nerve where it's numbs it. If I get the itch it will usually be on one or the other of my arms.

Most opiates cause a histamine release - antihistamines can lessen the strength of the effect. Completely different feeling than the rush. Do a high dose shot while on MM or Bup, you'll still get a histamine release (feels like pins&needles,can also makes you feel flush) but no euphoria.
Stangely enough, when I was sold fentanyl packaged as a regular stamp bag and OD'd, I don't remember any histamine release at all. I don't know if I just didn't notice it or what. Maybe because it's a full synthetic, I don't know. Anyone ever do a shot of it get a strong histamine release?
 
If you don't want to do too much Benadryl and "dirty" up the opiate high with a drowsy allergy pill, try Zyrtec (cetirizine) or Claritin (Loratadine) 10mg.

i dont feel like i've done a good shot unless i get those "pins and needles" but i usually don't itch, or maybe i don't notice it....idunno. but i never get that feeling when i full on OD.....but i almost always get them when i just like black out.
