i have been doing heroin for a while now and i love it. i am not a junkie and i keep it under control. i just have one question. i get so itchy all over my entire body that sometimes it is unbearable. i have gotten rashes from scrathing my legs too much. i often have to get int the shower when i am high. the itching even lasts for a couple days. someone told me to take an anti-histamine. i was just wondering if there is anything else i can do to stop the insane itching. it is really annoying when i am just trying to enjoy the high. thanks.
 
im sure if you used the search engine, youd find out for yourself.. but ill trll you anyway.
i usually take 5 or 6 benadryl, but that might put a lot of ppl to pass out. another methid i use to compliment is either cortisone cream or calomine lotion. all these are available at hte pharm

I used to say that too...

someone told me to take an anti-histamine.
Well, that someone was dead-on. Benedryl is good (don't overdo it) or any other anti-histamine. I've also used claritan (actually, just a half of claritan). Nowadays, I don't itch so much so I don't bother. Before I had a tolerance and could actually get pretty fucked up (high) I used to itch. Gone are those days. I wasn't a junky either...

Just what I was gonna say. Benedryl is magic. It always helps you when you get unbearable itching. Go get some & try it. Don't over do it though...
 
Yup good advice given byy everyone, get the non-drowsy benedral if you're worried aboutr falling asleep.
Over time you get used to the itchy, these days I dont itch much, only really my nose & it doesnt bother me in the slightest.
 
I don't know how long 'a while' is, but as others have suggested, the itchiness from opiates DOES seem to subside over time...I used to get very itchy when I first starting taking codeine for pain but now the itch rarely bothers me...

Just like fairnymph said, That itching will go away after awhile. I wish I would still get itchy, that was kind of a cool part of being all high from opiates! But benadryl will work if ya need something!
 
your not a junkie and you have it under control/ ya right . i was hooked on oxys for 2 years. i thought at first i had a handle on it too. till i tried getting off. i was sick as shit and had to have more to feel better. if you think it wont catch up with you, your crazy. good luck
 
Don't use benadryl, the drowsiness is bad enough on heroin as it is. Use one of the new non-drowsy anti-histamines. Don't remember their names easy to pick up in drug store.
They work just the same as benadryl but cross the BBB much less efficency same itchy reduction less sleepiness.

Benadryl makes a topical cream. It works much better than the pills. Usually the itch from opiates is localized...to a few dozen spots. Just cake on that cream wherever you itch and you'll be good to go. It starts working in seconds it seems.
Btw, get the generic. Much cheaper.
I used to itch so bad that I would scratch myself till I bled. Sucks when that happens on the face.

Snitch is right on, that Benadryl cream is like fucking magic. I haven't seen a generic version of that in any stores around where I live though. But there are plenty of generic diphenhydramine/dimenhydrinate pills available for a lot less than brand name Benadryl.
And most of the non-drowsy antihistamines aren't available OTC. Although if you really need some Claritin and you live close to America's northern neighbor it's available OTC over there. Just make sure you only consume it over there and don't try to bring any back across the border, that would be naughty. Not that they probably train the sniffer dogs to pick up the scent of Claritin...

Yes Yes the cream works well….but damn I haven’t had the itch for awhile. Only one time after I stopped using oxycontin for about 3 weeks, keeping myself goin on mscontin….after that three weeks I aquired a 40 mg oxycontin…
I was ecstatic that I actually felt the itch…I hadn’t gotten high off 40 for eight months before that day. So bro, just keep using your heroin some more and more…I think that’s the most beneficial way to get rid of the itch….im just kidding, don’t take me seriously (unless u want to)…
Look at it this way….there’s usually some annoying or bad side effect when usuing a drug. It’s just the price you pay, no biggie….and if u cant take it, there’s always the benadryl……I never used that stuff though. I remember actually enjoying the itch..lol
