just itch away.. i get itchy off of the percs too
take a small dose of an antihistamine like benadryl. if you take too much the effect will combine with the opiate and you will become extremely drowsy and sleepy so be careful.
Try Benadryl, that helps some people.
take some benadryl and dont take any more of the percocet. call you dentist and ask for a different pain medication
good luck
feel better soon
Maybe an oatmeal bath. Aveeno makes a great one that many mothers use when their kids have chicken pox. You can get it at any drugstore. If you can't go out and you don't have anyone to go out for you, try throwing a handful of dry oatmeal into a warm bath instead.
You may want to take a warm shower to see if that soothes your skin, you may always see if you can consult your local pharmacist or doctor to see if you can take a low dose of Benadryl to see if it will stop the itching of your skin. I had the same reaction to Percocet too, but it wasn't too bad, I took the long warm shower and the itching slowly stopped on it's own. Good luck!
You are probably allergic to the medication and need to stop taking it.
Take some benadryl and call your doctor for a different prescription.
Be sure to let your Dr. and pharmacist know that you had a reaction .
Hope you feel better soon.....
