From a web doc site with regard to morphine:

Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:

An unexplained rash
Hives
Itching
Swelling of the mouth or throat
Wheezing
Difficulty breathing.



So the itching indicates an allergic reaction. But hey, one of the other side effect is a decreased sex drive, so if all you're getting is an itchy nose, I'd say you're getting off light.
COOL thanks for that INFO yes it does slow your breathing I was only itchy because they doped me so heavily after surgery MY RECOVERY was FAST! I was dressed 7 outta there only a half hr after surgery I was starving! I'm having another surgery on the same knee, but i'm back at the GYM after only 1 week!

The hydrocodeine never worked for me, as far as pain, but I would sleepwalk on it and pop more pills. Oxycodeine had me puking my guts up daily, and lost 30 pounds in 30 days. Both affected my breathing. The ex that I was with said he would wake up to see if I was still breathing. Of course, he thought I was awake when I didthe sleepwalk pill popping thing, so when we figured it out, I got a lock for the cabinet.

Aleve does more for me.

It'll make most people itch...but excessive itching is also a sign of an allergic reaction too...at least in the case of Codeine. Be careful......
Makes me itch too. Told the Dr. he said it was a side effect. I thought allergy too.

I used to save the pain pills and drink with them.

Bad, bad idea.

Lenny Bruce once asked "If heroin is a 'monkey on your back', what is a morphine suppository?"

Definitely a reason to consult with your Doctor!
