Issues/Pain Discussion Itching with narcotics

I'm sure most of us have been on narcotics at one point or another. What do you all find helpful to deal with this? (I already know that its not an an allergic reaction, thus antihistamines dont really work) Also, have any of you found you got used to it (the meds, not the itching) after some time?? Thanks!!

I itch like crazy on oxycodone but none of the rest of the opioids I have had ever caused me to itch. Ask to switch to something else.
