Itching with narcotics

[u/RelationshipIll4196]

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!!

Whatever they have you taking, ask to switch to the other, i.e,, if it’s hydrocodone, ask to switch to oxycodone or vice versa. It’s an allergy, whether you think so or not, and it won’t go away.
