Why do opiates, ie. hydrocodone cause you to itch so much?

it happens because the vicodin is wearing off. Your body is telling you you need more.

They affect the central nervous system. Causing some people to itch. Discuss your reaction with your Doc. He should be able to adjust your meds.

Most likly yoy are getting to much of the drug. Tell the doctor and he can adjust your dose and the itch will go away.

Something in your system doesn't like coedine. In a sense you are allergic to it, but your doc can explain that to you. It has to do with histamine and coedine I believe. You should switch to something without coedine. good luck
