Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Elicia, Mark is right about some of the pain meds causing itching. A friend of my daughter's who was taking oxycontin for CP had an espisode where he started itching so bad that he broke the skin and was bleeding badly in several places and didn't even realize it. I don't take oxycontin, but I had noticed that when I take oxycodone I would itch, especially around the ankles, lower legs and feet! It wasn't anything as bad as my daughter's friend, but it does make me want to itch a lot. Fortunately the percocet doesn't seem to affect me that way. Unfortunately I don't know what to suggest to stop the itching, maybe someone else will. I don't know if Caladryl or one of the other anti-itch preparations would help for this or not. With hope and prayers, Heidi in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
