Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone itching

oxycontin

Avatar f tn Be careful of all that Tylenol. They are taking Hydrocodone off the market all together and replacing it with a long acting med called ZoHydro. it is Vicodin without the tylenol 500 mg of tylenol is way way too much for your liver to handle. I am on Roxy's which is oxycodone 30 mg no aspirin they do fine and for the long acting i am using Morphine Sulphate.
217599 tn?1202850952 my husband just had major back surgery, and the dr. prescribed oxycodone for the pain. he really needs it, but we are wondering how long he can take it before he becomes addicted. not that he wants to take it, he just can't stand the pain without it. his incision is 10 inches long, down the middle of his back. he is also itching a lot. could that be from the drug?
598384 tn?1222432684 I had TT on wednesday and just got home Friday evening) because of calcium and because my pulse was to low. I am itching like crazy !! Have any of you had this problem? The only new medication Loritab and Keeflex.
Avatar f tn I have been noticing a lot of posts by people taking oxycodone that mentions a huge sweet tooth but I dont think I have seen any people whose DOC is hydrocodone mention this. Also someone mentioned in an old post about itching of the scalp being common with oxy. Reason I ask is that last time hubby went to doc he didnt put the charge for the pharmacy on our debit card but instead paid with cash.
Avatar f tn NOT oxymorphone dear, oxycodone. Oxycontin has the sole active ingredient oxycodone, Perocet has both oxycodone and acetaminophen...hence the "cet" suffix. Theres also Percoden which is oxycodone and asprin. Oxymorphone is a totally different drug 2x the strenth of oxycodone.
Avatar f tn I was recently prescribed Oxycodone for pain due to a head injury/neck pain, and take a fairly small dose with Tylenol 3 (tylenol with codiene) and was wondering what the side effects should be and how long would I have to be taking it before coming addicted to it?
19579692 tn?1480373351 Hi, About two months ago I started getting unbearable itching on mostly my upper body. I've had no increase in the meds I take (Oxycodone, MS Contin, Neurontin, Lexapro, Benzodiazepines). I've seen my MD, pain doctor and finally a dermatologist. I'm now on Hydroxyzine but can only take right before bed due to extreme sleepiness. I am awaiting all blood test results but so far they look good. Sarna lotion helps but have to keep applying every half hour.
Avatar f tn , 10 mg of morphine equals 5 mg of oxycodone). Therefore, 5 mg of oxycodone is about 16 mg of hydrocodone so oxycodone is about 3 times stronger than hydrocodone. However, geminigirl is right in that everyone is different. I have read that some say hydrocodone works better for their pain than percocet and viceversa. For me, percocet works a lot better for my pain. Hydrocodone does not come without acetaminophen...yet.
Avatar f tn While in the hospital, they had me on a morphine pump for several days and then they put me on percocet. I have alot of allergies but I never had any problems with oxycodone. Shortly after I came home the itching started. I'm taking benedryl along with it but it doesn't seem like it's working. I don't know if I should just cope with the itching or call the doctor. This is just ridiculous! I'm running out of med's that I am capable of taking!
1855076 tn?1337115303 I have a hard time remembering what each medicine is, generic name versus brand names. I'm once again having a hard time controlling the pain. I have come down to a very small dose and I haven't been using anything long acting. My goal was to see if I could manage on nothing or very little and it's very clear that my quality of life is nonexistent on such a low dose. I'm taking oxycodone 10 mg. every 4 hours. I essentially get about an hour to 1.
Avatar f tn Having been on narcotics for the last several years, I have developed the side effect of severe itching after being on them for a while. This has happened with Demerol, Diluidid,Darvocet,Hydrocodone and Tramadol. I can take Tylenol #3 and morphine (post op in the hospital) with out any problems. Sometimes,if I take one of the itchy ones with Atarax and benadryl I'm ok for awhile, and then the itching will eventually get too bad and I will have to switch to something else.
Avatar m tn The pain from sciatica does not respond well to opiates. Better to get off them.
Avatar f tn I haven't posted in a long time. Had some bad experiences with one person but I'm going to blow it off. So....on pain meds for maybe 20 years, off and mostly on. Prayed for Divine intervention. Took a pill last Sunday and had a horrible allergic reaction. The same drug I've been on for 2 years....oxy. Itching, throat closing up....I've been in shock one other time from a drug. ( had an out of body experience, but that's a different story) So.

Also, i wanted to know if i should try to come off of them at least a month or two before it is born so it doesn't go through withdrawl symptoms?
1361767 tn?1277665466 im 22 weeks pregnant and i was perscribed oxycodone because i had kidney stones is it affecting my baby at this point im really nervious i dont wanna loose my little boy
Avatar n tn low dose formulations of oxycodone such as percocet(oxycodone/acetiminophen(tylenol)) or percodan(oxycodone/aspirin) which is most commonly given in 5mg or 10 mg tablets is usually given after certain surgeries and for people in severe pain. both oxycontin and percocet abuse has grown in popularity immensely in the past 10 years. its extremely drastic how fast it has arose to being a DOC for people. and the wd's are the same as other opiates of its kind like heroin or dilaudid.
Avatar f tn I live in WA state and have been prescribed Oxycodone by my Dr twice. Each time I went to get the prescriptions filled I was told that they were out of it and it was on back order due to some problem with the manufacturer. I went to 3 different pharmacies and got the same story. Is there something I should know here? Also both prescriptions were subsituted with Hydrocodone which contain acetaminophen. Due to my condition I am not supposed to take anything containing acetaminophen.
Avatar f tn The doctor prescribed me to take 1 5mg oxycodone pill every hr as needed for pain. Is this safe.
