I was in an automobile accident 3 days ago.

I'm okay, but my neck is sore. Anyway, I was prescribed Percocet. Whenever I take it, my face develops an uncontrollable itch. I want to know if this is common. Does percocet affect you in the same manner?

1. Call the pharmacist

could be an allergic reaction. Then call the doctor who prescribed it. There are lots of other meds out there.

Hope you feel better soon!

2. Do NOT take any more.

You are describing an allergic reaction and if you do take more, you could have an anaphylactic reaction. Call your doctor and tell him to give you something else.

And, the sore neck bites. Mine is still sore 25 years later.
