Tylenol w/ codeine making me insanely itchy? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jim_Gunn · 03-08-2009, 06:37 PM

After I had oral surgery to remove a wisdom tooth last Monday I took some Tylenol with codeine for the pain for a couple of days and ever since them my skin has been insanely itchy! I haven't taken the stuff anymore since Wednesday, but my skin is still crawling and it is driving me insane! I wonder if I am allergic to it, or if my itchiness is maybe caused by the fact that my body is still healing from having my gum cut open. This is crazy, especially since I haven't taken anymore codeine for a few days now. I almost scratched myself until I bled last night and I am miserable right now. Anyone else ever experience anything like this?

you might have picked up some bacterial infection...are you hydrating enough?

Forest · 03-08-2009, 06:46 PM

codeine is an opiate. Opiate have a tendency to make you very itchy

LOL yes. It can take a couple of days to wear off in my experience

I was on Vicotin for several months with a back issue. The itchies were insane. Took a while after getting off them for it to go away

Jim thats prob the issue. But if your worried about it call the dr.

dyna mo · 03-08-2009, 06:52 PM

Everything is going to be fine. You're very high right now. You will probably be that way for about five more hours. Try taking some vitamin B complex, vitamin C complex.. if you have a beer, go ahead and drink it..

Just remember you're a living organism on this planet, and you're very safe. You've just taken a heavy drug. Relax, stay inside and listen to some music, Okay? Do you have any Allman Brothers?

Common adverse drug reactions associated with the use of codeine include euphoria, itching

all that shit will make you itch, it's just the way it is.

reminds me of an acid trip i had once

There is a famous line in a Nirvana song where he sings, "I got so high I scratched till I bled."

On a more serious note, if you get a rash there is a decent chance you are allergic to the codeine. A few years ago I got really sick and the doctor gave me cough syrup with codeine and I broke out in a pretty nasty rash. I took an allergy tablet and it fixed the problem. Now I just have to avoid opiate based pain killers.

I wish more medications had a side effect of "euphoria"

WiredGuy · 03-08-2009, 07:30 PM

itching like a crackhead. We have all been there. Down with codeine

Karen Kougar · 03-08-2009, 07:35 PM

Vicodin. Less itch, more nod.

I've taken MANY Tylenol 3's and never go itchy. When I say MANY I mean that was ALL I took when I got headaches and/or migraines. I got many headaches and migraines in the past and still do. For me anything with codeine wakes me right up. I can do just about anything hopped up on T3's. lol

Diomed · 03-08-2009, 07:57 PM

I've had a constant small headache for about a a week and a half now, maybe doc will juice me some t3's.

Regardless,

it is VERY normal for you to be itching like that from the codeine, have no worries about that.

collegeboobies · 03-08-2009, 08:01 PM

Are you taking PCP? Do not try to cut off your skin, no matter what.

escorpio · 03-08-2009, 09:06 PM

Take some Benadryl with it.

tiger · 03-08-2009, 11:27 PM

Morphine does the same thing to me. I won't take morphine if you paid me.

Best reply to the itches EVER.

Jim_Gunn · 03-08-2009, 11:46 PM

I didn't know Tylenol 3 had so many fans, lol. I am about to throw those fuckers in the garbage. Hopefully the itches will fade soon as it has already been a few days since I stopped taking them.

RevTKS69 · 03-09-2009, 12:32 AM

Seriously. If you need the meds to avoid the pain, benedryl will help or if you just want the itching to go away more quickly.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Well that's odd,

I didn't realize you still had the itches after you stopped taking them.

Usually it only happens while you are on them, at the latest the next day.

tranza · 03-09-2009, 07:33 AM

Yeah, maybe you are alergic to it...you should see a doctor..

Tom_PM · 03-09-2009, 08:54 AM

All I know is anything with codeine will make my stomach empty itself in violent fashion.
Feeling lucky yet?

drriley · 03-09-2009, 10:04 AM

As someone else has indicated, Codeine is an opiate and opiates cause itching. In hospital this is treated with an antihistamine, often Benadryl, and you can treat it at home with the same drug or other OTC oral antihistamines that are available at the pharmacy. Gravol can also be quite effective for this purpose, or you can save a few $ and buy the generic version Dimenhydrinate, which does not require an Rx but generally has to be asked for at the pharmacy. Dimenhydrinate (generic) is usually available for only a couple of dollars for a bottle of 50 or 100, versus the same cost or more for 10 or 20 tablets of Gravol. The generic form is a popular choice for those looking for a quick and cheap high.

Fletch XXX · 03-09-2009, 10:08 AM

i didnt know gfy had so many ex-doctors

Honez · 03-09-2009, 10:46 AM

I agree that you can get itchy from taking them but, odd that it is lasting so many days after you stopped. Call your Dr or at the least, your Pharmacist and talk to them.
