I have been taking small amounts (5-10 mg)of percs on and off for a while.  Recently I finally got a hold of the purples and found them to be the best. However all of a sudden I got a bad rash (all ops make me itch but I never got a rash before). It was driving me crazy and I didn't know what it was from until I did a little research. There is VERY little info on the subject but evidently op*at*es can cause a histamine reaction that causes rash. I went to my doc but didn't mention that I had taken that med but he didn't even ask about that and diagnosed it as viral exanthems caused by a cold I had just gotten over. I was hoping that was what it was and he gave me some cream and mild steroids to take which were mildly helpful. Okay so a few days later in is NYeve and I am feeling sorry for myself and in some pain so I take 5mg and get itchy but rash still the same, I do the same the next day and oh no, rash spreads. Ugh. Does this mean I can no longer take anything for pain? It is freaking me out. I have read taking benadryl before pk could help but I don't know...I am feeling better and dread getting the rash back but hate the pain. Oh what to do! Anyway, wondering if anyone has experienced this, and what you did about it. Looking for some wisdom...thanks!

 
I think I read if you take Histamine blockers the symptoms are abated.  I believe there is a section in this area about Pk enhancers and some of the discussion talked about histamine blockers that also elevate the potency of pks.   Look in the area of Pk enhancers.   Hope this helps. 

@juliesh its the section called opiate potentiators  a few threads below this one!  I think the word is spelled wrong but that is the heading in the thread.  Good info in a few posts .

@juliesh I sent you a PM that might be helpful...

 
Thanks, guys.  I have been poking around here and on the Internet looking for info.  It seems to work for some not for others.  Eventually I will probably give into temptation and try taking a benedryl before pk.  If the maddening rash comes back I will kick my stupid self!

 
I was on perkies about six years ago - they gave me a script for them after ankle surgery.

One thing they don't tell people is that in certain people they cause mania. Yup they caused me to talk really fast and every symptom of mania possible.

I had a one week appointment, thank god, and when I started to tell the doctor he cut me off and said they cause you to to act goofy with a laugh on his face. He understood and prescibe something else.

 
Also, don't scratch if it itches. It seems counter-intuitive but scratching it when it it itches only makes it itch more. Just wait 5 - 10 minutes and the itching should go away.

 
zyrtec taken an hour before completely eliminates the itchies for me. Benadryl is not nearly as effective as zyrtec, if at all for stopping the itch. Zyrtec in my experience is by far the best if not the only effective hystamine blocker for Opie.

 
Thanks to all who answered! It is not the itchies that bother me so much it is the ensuing rash.  It lasted for weeks. In fact it is still here to some degree.  So I am afraid to take the opies for now :(

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
