Re: Pain patches and itching

I have that reaction and was told I am allergic.

Please call Physician.

Do you have hives? blotches?

You may need benadryl.

You may be allergic to medicine or to the adhesive.

Good luck....

Hello

I was given a pain patch by my doctor yesterday and I have been itching

all over during the night. I wondered if it's a coincidence or has

anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for any input,

Elaine;

I used a smoking patch to quit smoking and it made me itch also. I

really needed help with the smoking patch to quit. So what I did is

take a couple benydril an hour before I put the patch on and it

worked great. just though you would like to know

gentle hugs

I usually itch the first night, however the benefit outweighs the discomfort. I

put a new one on every three days or so.

I have. I am allergic to the stuff that makes it stick to the body. I can't

use pain patches anymore.

My directions for my Lidoderm patches are to wear one for 12 hours and

then not wear one for the next 12 hours. What kind do you have?

Hi Sue, I use Fentanyl patches. They work and I can tell when they are starting

to wear off. I don't wear them all the time, just during a flare, which seems to

be most of the time.

Hi Marla - I am allergic to adhesives too, so pain patches are not an

option for me. I remember when I had to have emergency surgery 10+

years ago, they came in the next day to remove the dressing and check

the incision. I had blisters that were almost 1/2 inch high. That's

when I realized just how allergic to adhesives I am. The blisters hurt

worse than the incision.............Doreen
