Suggest Treatment For Itching After Taking Morphine Sulfate
I have been taking Morphine Sulfate IR 15 mg every 4 hours since yesterday afternoon for extreme neck and headaches pain. I feel itchy but do not have a rash or other side effects. Is feeling itchy a common side effect? Also, I have taken Citalopram 30 mg and Remeron 15 mg at night for several years. Is it okay to take it 4 hours after taking the Morphine? I did it last night and had no problems. Do you have any suggestions for relief of the itchy feeling?

Hi,
Morphine may cause itching. So, I would recommend you to stop morphine. You may take some other pain killer after consulting the doctor. For itching you may take cetirizine 10 mg for few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care..
