YES! It does! and it's driving me crazy!
I had surgery yesterday (Tubal Ligation) and they gave me some as pain relief when I came to and have been itching eversince!
Operation was at about 3:45pm yesterday and it's now a day later and it's still affecting me! Right down the itchy nose!
I might actually be allergic to it (??) because this has happended each time I've had it, or Pethidine (during Labour). Each time I've also vomited afterwards.
EDIT: No, you're not allergic, i was in hospital for 6 months, i used ALOT of morphine, and i was VERY itchy! Yeah, the nost, the arms, the torso, thighs, and my whole face, they were the most intense places!

∙ 15y ago== == It is possible for any formulation of morphine to cause an itchy rash. This is a sign of an allergic reaction and the drug should be discontinued and the problem reported immediately to the Doctor Who prescribed the morphine. Occasionally there is what is called a "localized histamine release" when one has an injection of intravenous morphine. This is an area of redness, itching and sometimes small hives along the area of the vein where the morphine was injected. It usually resolves without any problem. It is not a true allergy and is usually related to the morphine being injected too fast. But if one is itching all over and has a rash all over, this is definitely an allergy and the morphine should be stopped! This means that the next reaction could be stronger and could become an "anaphylactic" reaction where the person has trouble breathing, so it is important to discontinue taking the morphine and switch to another kind of pain reliever.
