Opana Ir 10mg..new To It. "itching Badly"

Updated

My doctor just switched me to Opana IR 10 mg. I was taking Lortab 10/500, but staying misusing then because I built up a tolerance. Well these Opana's are amazing. I have never been so pain free in the twenty years suffering with chronic pain. Not to mention how awesome they make me feel in general. Bad part is the itching...keeps me awake and is unbearable. I wondered if there is something over the counter I can take to make this itching go away whereas I love Opana and definitely don't want to give them up. There is a high possibility my doctor might switch me again and I do not want that since these work so well. Help!!

Hi, BeeBee! Sorry about the itching!

Some narcotics can cause that as a side effect in some people that take them and, if that's what it is, then it should wear off after about 4 to 6 weeks, once your body gets used to the medication.

Thus, you may just want to ask your doctor about taking Benadryl, in the meantime. There's really no reason he should have to switch you off of it for something that will probably go away on its own.

Learn more Opana details here.

An allergic reaction that could be dangerous would involve hives, swelling and etc.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

Thanks for the advice. I started Benedryl in my own, it helps a lot, especially when I want to sleep. I am happy to here this reaction will wear off because this is the first time after several medicine trials that something actually works. My pain went from a 10 to about a 2 or 3. I feel awesome.

Hi BeeBee, I am having the same issues. I have been on Opana 20mg for a few years. Over the last few months the itching has become unbearable. I do take a Benadryl when it gets too bad. But am just wondering why it has gotten so bad at this stage. Waiting to see my dr. Again to get some help. Hopefully we can get some answers soon!!! This is not fun!!!
