Opioids God fucking damn it I'm so itchy, codiene issues.

I had a similiar reaction codiene and i took it again a couple weeks later, just 2 Tylenol 4's which is 120 mg of codiene, and i had an anaphylactic reaction...the relevance of this is that once you develop a slight allergy to something, and you keep ingesting it, it gets worse everytime. You could develop it to the point of a deadly allergic reaction, The lip swelling is the first thing that happened when I went into anaphylactic shock so be very careful. If you need some help with the withdrawals from oxy talk to a doctor, in some medicated detoxs they give you benzos, just .5 or .25 of ativan can help, so maybe talk to a doctor or look into that more?
 
I know this thread isn't super-recent but I just wanted to add that it is possible to develop a codeine allergy over time. In fact that is how most codeine allergies develop, it's not something that usually shows up the first time you use codeine. Not saying that's necessarily what happened in your case but just that having taken codeine without a bad reaction before does not rule out codeine allergy.

Just when I stood up quickly from siting down. I think that's due to low blood pressure? Or high? Either way it's a side effect of this garbage I took.

Loosing your vision temporarily when you quickly stand up is due to orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure). It's when the blood pressure suddenly drops upon standing up. Changing from a lying or sitting position to standing causes a lot of blood to move from the head into the legs, but in a normal healthy person it usually immediately triggers vasoconstriction moving the blood upwards again. Having low blood pressure in general and taking medications like opioids can make this mechanism not enough to compensate or to not work properly, causing a greater than normal fall in blood pressure (and resulting in symptoms like blurry or black vision/temporarily blindness, dizziness, wooziness, etc) when you get up too fast).
