^ Scratching a normal itch can feel good as well; I think it's just amplified when you are on opioids. 

I really don't like the codeine itch come to think of it, feels like an allergic reaction, as mr blonde said, and distracts me from the high. Has nothing on a good oxy itch![]()
Mr Blonde, I do suffer from hayfever and occasionally take something (usually Telfast) to relieve it. But I avoid Telfast on days that I'm likely to use codeine and I haven't changed any other meds recently. That's why I was so surprised by the reaction. The only things I could come up with were: 1) allergic reaction to some material in the tablets or 2)a reaction to something I had eaten during the day.
In any case, I hope it was a one-off.
^ I've seen people get letters from their doctors recommending that they use these codeine/ibu/apap products for pain relief in order to satisfy the pharmacist. Also, find pharmacies where they are a bit more lax about it and dress for the occasion I guess.
So WTF is the difference between codeine and cod phosphate? I thought it was the same thing.
