Brief Answer:
Opana and Paxil not usual drugs for itching

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

One should know why the itching is there in the first place. I suggest you to get an absolute eosinophil count done to know if you are having an allergic reaction.

Here is what your should do for itching

1. Tab Fexofenadine is the ideal drug for itching; it can be taken twice daily.
2. I also suggest you to apply glycerine lotion, mixed with equal quantity of XXXXXXX water, three times daily. If you cannot find XXXXXXX water just glycerine lotion will do
3. Keep your skin well moisturized at all times
4. Find out the cause for the itching, it could be new soap, curtains, carpets, pet, clothes or food items like sea food, etc

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
