Unfortunately, with pain killers often comes intense itching. It's a very common side effect. To get rid of the itch totally may mean coming off the patch. But if Benadryl is not working, try some home-methods.
Cold compresses can really help with itchy skin, as can being very well moisturized with uncolored, unscented creams like Eucerin. Cool showers, a cool room, with cotton clothing and cotton sheets will also help.
There is a medication called Naloxone that is a narcotic antagonists, used to relieve itch.
