Why is percocet making me itchy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Histamine: Percocet and other opiates release histamine and make most folks itch. Try to take as little of this kind of pain medicine as you can -- this is nothing you don't already know. Good luck.

Be careful!: Usually skin rush and itching are signs of the allergic reaction to the drug. It might be a red flag for the future life threatening reaction and death. Percocet is a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen. You may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the one of the components. In case you have trouble breathing, dizziness, vomiting or yellowing of the skin call 911 immediately.
