Oxycodone has a vague effect in some people of releasing serotonin. This leads to itching skin, and flushing for some.

It is difficult to say. But gabapentin itself causes some skin reactions.
Try taking an antihistamine like Benadryl. If it helps, then
an allergic histamine reaction is happening.
I always suspect the drugs.

I did just notice that there is a side effect warning on the oxycodone about burning, and feelings of warmth. This is not an overall flushing or warmth, I am usually quite cold, it is a localized sense of sunburned or burned skin, and sensitivity to clothing or pressure. Could it be the oxycodone? I have taken it at low dosages for years without side effects, but have doubled my usage in response to this problem, to 3 5 mg pills per day.
Would it be worthwhile to taper off the gabapentin altogether (i know that is a gradual process ) and discontinue the pain pills to eliminate them as possibilities? I am in so much discomfort even with them I am willing to try anything.
