What can one do to help with the opiate itch? Specifically, I have done hydrocodone and oxymorphone and the itching is very problematic. Any suggestions to stop it? Thank you.

Promethazine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine succinate, any of the pheniramines. I have heard hydroxyzine is good but we don't have it here in Australia. They will potentiate the opioids too.![]()

I love the itch sometimes, but other times it is way too intense and I can scratch my skin raw.
My DOC is codeine mainly, which can cause a massive histamine release especially at the doses I am using. If I don't use it for a while and then come back to it, the histamine release can be overpowering!
