| 1 | Low back disk/stenosis sciatica | Constipation, Driving through red lights...... | I just had to get input on this drug. This "Opiate" had NO, ZERO, NADDA, effect on real deal back pain. My back pain laughed at this drug as it bent me over every day squirming in pain. I could take a fistfull of these, blow out my liver from all the acetomeniphen, and my back pain would rage on like nothing happened. I really can't understand why this is an abused drug...??? I got no so-called "buzz" or "euphoria" just steady stabbing pain in my back. The kind that makes you lose your breath. I might do better with booze than this stuff. I guess if you like to feel ever so slightly floaty, then this baby is for you...!!! Go right to the epidural into the spine.....15 minutes and you walk away.....unbelievable...!!! | M | 58 | 30 days 5/350 3X D | 5/15/2013 | 4 | Chronic Breakthrough Pain Relief | All side effects were mild!! Drowsiness, Constipation, Nausea, Euphoria.. | I've been prescribed 2-10mg tablets up to 8 times daily because of severe spinal stenosis, 6 herniated disc, moderately severe T-spine & L-spine Facet arthrosis.... #480 Tablets every 30 days | M | 37 | 15 months 20 8X D | 4/11/2013 | 5 | had broken my back | Tried, depression ,crying, | F | 63 | 4 months 30mg | 4/3/2013 | 4 | Chronic migraines and neck pain | Euphoria, dry mouth, energy Burt's, some itchy skin, vivid dreams, sweat more. | Works very well for my migraines especially when taken at the first sign of a migraine then all pain is gone. I would say benefits far outweigh the cons. I would recommend to anyone who needs serious pain control and still able to function at work or at home with kids and husband. Only bad thing is you have to drive to your doctor for a refill since its a controlled substance level 2 which can't be phoned or faxed to pharmacy. And it's affordable with or without insurance which is good for everyone's situation. | F | 23 | 2 months 7.5 1X AN | 1/24/2013 | 4 | ruptured disc | Drowsiness, constipation, itching, "high" feeling | I was taking Lortab for the pain but developed a tolerance and was switched to Percocet instead of increasing the Lortab dosage even more. The side effects from Percocet are more noticeable (especially the itching -- taking with Benadryl is a must) but the pain relief is significantly better as well. I'm having surgery in 2 weeks to repair the disc and will be glad to be off narcotics soon. This type of medication is definitely for the short term only, it's easy to see why it has the potential for abuse. | F | 36 | 7 days 10-325 4X D | 1/9/2013 | 5 | Wisdom teeth removal | headache, itching and my hearing goes a bit fuzzy the first 20 minutes | F | 25 | 3 days 325mg | 10/28/2012 | 5 | Chronic pain | Constipation but relieved with stool softener an magnesium tabs | I have chronic pain after several accidents,auto immune arthritis and a physician botching up a nerve block and biopsy of brain artery. These pills do not get me high,they help me to function so I can cook,clean,go grocery shopping. I am able to enjoy life as best as I can and I'm so great full for my pain management physician. | F | 60 | 3 years 7.5 3X D | 10/16/2012 | 3 | Ear Infections | Dizziness, shaky, extremely drowsy (ended up falling asleep) nausea, unable to think straight, loopy | F | 20 | 3 weeks 5-325 MG | 9/3/2012 | 4 | ruptured disc | Itching in my private area really bad for a hour,racing mind,..anxiety as well...i have 42 of them and am afriad of how i will feel after a few days. | already kinda getting headache... | M | 36 | 1 days 10 mg /325 3X D | 8/30/2012 | 3 | Heart surgery | Horrible nightmares. Very vivid dreams. | F | 19 | 4 days 1 or 2 tab | 8/19/2012 | 3 | Endoscopic Total Thyroidectomy | Very vivid dreams/nightmares, constipation, nausea, dizziness | F | 22 | 7 days | 7/25/2012 | 2 | Wisdom Teeth Extraction | Constipation, drowsiness, increased irritability, hearing sensitivity, shortened attention span, relaxation - somewhat euphoric. | I did not enjoy taking percocet. It is necessary for the pain, but it only lasts 2.5-3 hours before I have to take supplemental ibuprofen. Every time I take it, I fall asleep, lose ability to have conversation or pay attention to what I'm doing. Makes me very irritable and I found that as the usage days increased, the effectiveness of the dose would shorten and I would need more frequent pain relief supplements. Not sure if this is sign of dependence or related to my healing process. | F | 20 | 1 weeks 5mg 325mg 3X D | 7/9/2012 | 5 | Stenosis in back | Constipation | M | 40 | 3 months 30 mg | 6/16/2012 | 3 | back/neck pain | Severe itches. Nausea. Hot flashes and ringing of the ears. | F | 32 | 3 weeks 5mg | 6/7/2012 | 5 | Oral surgery scrapping bone. | I think I lost most of my friends. it's a good thing I can't speak very well now or they would all be gone | Great Painiller. First time I ever took it but it sure opened my eyes to what morons people are. No Euphoria. | F | 55 | 4 days 10 3X D | 6/4/2012 | 5 | Slight pain | I break 15 mg in half and take them every 1.5-2 hrs, constipation, but up hora, not so damn depressed. I do enemas if needed and see a. I like it. | Be careful addictive | F | 45 | 3 years 15 10X D | 5/15/2012 | 5 | broken hand | im breaking out all over and i inche and my legs and feet are really swallen | F | 60 | 8 days 7.5-325mg | 5/13/2012 | 3 | Heart Surgery Pain | Dizziness; numbness; pins & needles in hands, feet, and face; sadness; anxiety; horrible nightmares; head rush; just general creepy weird feelings throughout my body, almost like I was disconnected from myself (none of these are normal for me at all.) | This med did help control my pain and made me drowsy within 15 minutes after taking it. I would awaken from nightmares, but would go right back to sleep. The negative side effects were scary and uncomfortable for me since I have never experienced those feelings before. I didn't like the out of control feelings of anxiety, sadness, weird sensations, etc. The nightmares were extremely scary to me. It took me a while to figure out that it was the Percocet causing these side effects, and when I quit taking it, all of the side effects went away within a day. I tried taking it one more time, and the side effects came right back. Bottom line, if it was the only thing that would control my pain, I would consider taking it again, but only for a VERY short time! I would definitely try another pain killer before taking this again. | F | 51 | 10 days 5-325 1X D | 5/11/2012 | 1 | Birth/Post Partum Pain | This made me CRAZY! Not something you need when seeing visitors all day long and caring for a newborn. Easily irritated/angered, horrible dreams, not much pain relief. | F | 36 | 2 days | 4/26/2012 | 4 | crushed hips | sometimes i experience tiredness, and sometimes i experience nausea with or without eating | helps alot with my pain helps me get thru the day without wanting to sleep the day away the only part that sucks is that ive been on it so long that my body goes thru withdrawls when i dont take it | F | 28 | 3 years 10/325 3X D | 4/10/2012 | 5 | back pain | If percocet works for your pain and makes you sick and vomit you have to reduce dosage. I was given 10 mg but they made my stomach upset but went straight to the pain. So I just had it reduced to 5 mg. Although they say it so addictive, what I've found is if I use them only when in serious pain I don't have an issue. Never felt any 'fun' feeling from them. They just do what the should. They kill the pain. | F | 40 | 3 years 5mg | 3/15/2012 | 5 | Knee replacement surgery pain | Some constipation. Slight slowness of speech. | This med was great for me. Post operative pain from TKR was acute. Had taken Vicodin but it did not help. Had expected more from the TKR as the replaced right knee hurts as much as the old left one. Dr. says all operations are different and to give it time. My question is how long is it safe to continue the Percocet ? It appears that I will be using it for a long time to come, probably years, as pain is rather constant and my osteoarthritis damage is obvious. | M | 73 | 11 months 10/325 3X D | 2/27/2012 | 3 | Fibromyalgia, 2Back Surgery, Lupus | I've been taking percocet on and off for 17 months now and I recommend that if you've had any substance abuse of any kind in the past, this is NOT the medication for you! For first time users there are alot of downfalls to this medication if you do not take as prescribed. ATTENTION!!!! This drug can make you EXTREMELY SICK TO YOUR STOMACH WHETHER YOU TAKE IT WITH FOOD OR NOT! When the medication first kicks in, you will experience a very high-euphoric feeling. An hour later you will be puking your guts out!!!!! | In addition they are highly addictive, that is why I only take them when I absolutely needed to! My prescription calls for me to take it 4x a day, but my doctor prescribes me 90 pills and they last me 4 months. Please be responsible!! This medication also causes you to itch terribly..like a crack head..lol..when the meds wear off you can be extremely irritable and easily angered, and experience a severe migrane. This is your body(not mind) reminding you that you need to replenish the drug level in your blood stream. Thus meaning the onset of physical addiction. And some fail to realize that this is where addiction begins...PHYSICALLY and you dont even understand! Good Luck and please use carefully! | F | 24 | 17 months 5/325 4X D | 2/14/2012 | 4 | Herniated disk/Fibromyalgia | Decreased pain. Sometimes I feel hyper, talking a lot. | I have not had any of the constipation that others have talked about but it could be because I also have IBS and I don't take the Percocet every day. It is wonderful when the pain is so bad that I can't function. Can take it and work with no problem. | F | 34 | 8 months 5/325 1X AN | 2/2/2012 | 3 | appendectomy | Relieved pain but made him EXTREMELY moody.angry, crying, severely irritable. | M | 7 | 1 days 7.5 | 1/27/2012 | 2 | Pilonidal Cyst Excision | Constipation only, no discomfort from it, just a lack of bowel movements | Did not relieve ANY pain, even after a double dose (as directed by my surgeon). I still had severe pain the ENTIRE time I was healing from this surgery. Was not prescribed anything in its place. I will never take this again. | F | 19 | 3 weeks 20 mg 1X AN | 1/19/2012 | 3 | Tooth Extraction | SEVERE CONSTIPATION! Itching all over...made me tired but not enough to fall asleep...the paid came back within 2-3 hours but wouldn't dare take it until at least six hours later...again it will make you SEVERELY CONSTIPATED! A week after I stopped taking them I had the worst stomach pain in live...and didn't notice until that day that I haven't had any bowl movement for the past 3 days...so I took a Citroma (laxative) I have 3 or 4 bowl movement of water and water only...but the pain subsided a little...then a few days later the pain came back and I had to go to the hospital...I was given a enema and laxative and I still haven't had an appropriate bowl movement! I'm currently taking Miralax hopefully everything goes well... Definitely wouldn't use it again... | F | 24 | 6 days 5mg/325mg | 1/17/2012 | 1 | Bunion removal | Dry mouth, energy burst as if I was on adderall not tired just even after just fours hours of sleep! That is being off of it for one day. Circulatory problems in my left foot ( surgery on right) and in my right leg it turned purple with whit spots! Toes went numb burning/ tingling. Didn't get rid of all my pain stillfelt like I was wearing a pair of to tight high heels and walking for hours...painful. Urination problems! I have to push so hard to urinate and it comes out like a horse powerful as of I hadn't gone for days. I have to push to get it out like I have a permanent kegal and can't relax it. Also felt sick nausea. I got off of it. | F | 26 | 6 days 5 | 1/14/2012 | 5 | 3 hherniated discs | None | M | 56 | 7 years 15mg perco | 1/6/2012 | 5 | backpain/terrible toothaches | Slight dizziness, head rushes, nothing serious just the basics of any medicine thats prescribed. | F | 18 | 2 years 4-5/day | 1/2/2012 | 4 | Kidney Stones | Pros; relieved most of the pain (anyone having kidney stones knows how severe the pain is). Made me slightly sleepy, which helped take away from the focus on the side effects. Works very well overall. Cons; Itchyness all over at times, dizziness, slight nausea if not taken with crackers/water. Slow acting. No side effects made me stop taking the medicine. | M | 23 | 2 weeks 10mg | 12/21/2011 | 1 | Miscarriage | My first and last time taking this pill. I started to get dizzy within the first 15 minutes and after a huge headache with nausea. It's been 6 hours and the headache and nausea still haven't gone away. | F | 26 | 1 days 5/325 | 12/19/2011 | 2 | Back injury | Dizziness, migraine, slight hallucinations, uncontrollable shaking, blurred vision | M | 17 | 2 weeks 330mg | 12/10/2011 | 1 | Wisdom teeth extraction | Didnt relieve pain at all. Severe itchiness from head to toe. Couldnt stay/fall asleep. | F | 17 | 4 days | 12/1/2011 | 4 | back pain/surgery | Out of it if you take alot. gives you a dreamy warm feeling which can lead to abuse. getting angry easily after comedown. | i had back problems for years and ive been taking this for years. i started with 5mg/325 3x's a day and got up to 3-4 10mg/325 a day after surgery. they do have some side effects but when your in as much pain as i was its the only thing you can do. the more you take the worse the side effects but i never had terrible withdraws from them, i still get a few now and then when my back acts up and they do work very well for pain and are worth the side effects if your in alot of pain non stop. | M | 20 | 3 years 10 4X D | 11/29/2011 | 3 | 4 wisdom teeth extraction | itching, restless sleep, nausea on the 2nd day | works fast to stop severe pain but I could not stay awake for longer than a half hour even if i tried. I Once i did fall asleep I kept waking up ever two hours or so, did not feel well rested. would have preferred to take something else that would have allowed me to sleep soundly for longer hours | F | 21 | 5 days 10/325MG 5X D | 11/26/2011 | 5 | Knee replacement | Nausea, headache, no appetite. Constipation, horrible dreams itching | At first I would sleep all the time. Pain would come back before next dose was due. Bad dreams began to subside, but hallucinations remained just not as bad. It has been very effective in helping to manage my pain. Less side effects with percocet than with lortabs First time I've ever used this medication. I have high pain tolerance but I still needed help with the pain from surgery. I'm being very careful with it because I've never been addicted to anything and I sure don't want to be addicted to percocet | F | 58 | 35 days 10 mg 5X D | 11/24/2011 | 3 | Tonsillectomy | Percocet gives me horrible nightmares. At first I didn't know if it was this medication until I looked it up and saw that many people had the same side effect. It also made my face itch and made me very delirious. | It works fine for awhile but not something I enjoy taking. | F | 24 | 14 days 10 mg 3X D | 11/16/2011 | 4 | knee surgery | slight eurphoric feeling, some constipation | received injections immediately after surgery and had no pain until following day, pills took pain away but can understand how someone could become addicted because i really liked the way they made me feel | 46 | 7 days 10 4X D | 10/3/2011 | 3 | Knee surgery | It helped alot with the pain after my surgery, I wouldn't have been able to sleep without screaming in pain without it. I liked the fact it knocked me right out, I thought I would sleep my recovery process away and heal faster. It made me extremely itchy around my face and arms, dry mouth, nightmares, SEVERLY constipated, yet the euphoria it provided i didn't mind the negative side effects. I noticed that within a week instead of putting me to sleep it had me wired like I was on cocaine, full of energy and speaking non stop. I took more than I was prescribed, which I got severly nauseous and vomitted then passed out. Before I knew it the doctor said I was all better and he gradually decreased my dose to wean me off. Only problem was, I didn't want to be weaned off. I tried lying that i was still in too much pain, but my surgery was so minor he declined giving me any narcotic pain medications. I took more than prescribed, and eventually I would run out. I never in my wildest dreams thou | Only take if you ABSOLUTELY need it!!! Don't take more than the recommended dose, and if u feel euphoria on it thats the first sign your body is getting hooked. And trust me that feeling doesn't last too long. You don't want to end up like I did, its mortifying, embarrassing and so easily prevented. | F | 27 | 3 months 10/325 2X D | 10/2/2011 | 4 | Oral Soft Tissue Injury | Sweating, Sleepiness, pain not completely unresolved | I hurt my gum on nachos during a concert, and I went to the dentist. I was in such great excruciating pain. Pain would shoot up my face, to my nerves, it was the worst pain I have ever experienced. The dentist prescribed antibiotic mouth rinse that caused such burning that I'd nearly cry. The pain felt like I was eating nails, and I was afraid of developing neuropathy in my head. I called the dentist and explained nerve pain, vs bone pain, that lortab wouldn't even hit nerve pain. He gave me a script for percocet. I knew Percocet would hit the nerves. I still don't think dentists would concentrate more on pain control. None of them I've dealt with seem to be wanting to totally relieve pain. For me, Percocet did well. During the day, I broke them in half. That was somewhat effective, but I got very tired, and sometimes,sore. At night, it did well, but didn't seem to last over 4 hours. Neurontin would've completely solve the problem of nerve pain. | F | 49 | 3 days 7.5/500 4X D | 9/29/2011 | 5 | Hip/thigh pain since hip rev surg. | itching, first on calves, now in groin areas. More irritable than when on Vicodin. Energy increase. Mental alertness, paying attention is diminished and mind wanders. Due to this drug and morphine, Severe Constipation is problem but plenty of prune juice helps( I swear by it). I have a 'kewl-, whatever' perspective that I know is a direct result of Percocet. drives a sibling crazy. | This med is really helping me manage chronic pain since a hip revision (femur implant replacement). If not taking, I would be withering in pain, and that is the most terrifying thought for me. Also take Morphine SO4. I can work in my gardens on some days due to Percocet. life saver. Not sure about the addictive part, since I know I have to keep taking a pain med, and this sure seems to be it. Am able to lay and read..., but spend most of my time watching movies , if I do anything else it aggravates pain to be unbearable, but this narcotic drug really takes the edge of, but not rid the pain. I don't know what other do for pain that never goes away and have to be on pain drugs, i am thinking i am stuck, but at least, this drug helps . I take 6 of the 5/325 a day and actually would rather take 8, but Doc will not have it. Dr. has suggested other narc pain killers, but methadone and the like are scary to me. Stick with Percocet. If others have had chronic PAIN since hip surgery I would like to hear from you. Mine was in 2002 w/ rev in 2007. | M | 57 | 4 years 10mg 3X D | 9/28/2011 | 2 | gallbladder removal pain | My face broke out completely in whiteheads. I'm not talking one or two, I mean my entire face is covered in the damn things. The pain normally fades in 5-10 minutes, but it's not worth it. I still had pain in my belly and shoulder, so it didn't do much. They make me super nauseous and itchy, as well. | F | 21 | 4 days 5mg 10X D | 9/14/2011 | 4 | chronic back and joint pain | Euphoria, energy, ability to start moving, made me pee very frequently,itchy, decreased sex drive and sensitivity. | A drug that works, but at a personal cost. Highly addictive, and not for everyone. Withdrawals are terrible...be careful and responsible with these meds. | M | 29 | 8 months 5mg 3X D | 9/5/2011 | 1 | Pain after biopsy | Instant dizziness, then sudden excruciating pain in back and stomach, nausea and shaking. Barely able to breathe from pain. I think it's constipation | F | 26 | 1 days 1X AN | 8/24/2011 | 5 | Chronic body arthritis, ruptured sh | Sometimes constipation at first but learn how to fix it. Energy and willingness to exercise and work rather than sleep through the pain. | This is no more addictive than is coffee to help you start your day. I can't get hooked on this stuff if I tried. It's the only thing that takes away the horrible teeth gnashing pain I get when I am not on it. I've been on and off and yes it has a narcotic effect but it's just a relaxing one. But when pain is lessened I can work instead of laying all day. | M | 51 | 2 years 10/650 4X D | 8/21/2011 | 2 | wisdom teeth extraction | at first helped with pain received after anasthesia wore off from extraction of all 4 of my wisdom teeth, helped me relax and let me sleep for a few hours. lightheaded about one hour after taking a pill, and dizzy. after the second dosage, started feeling itchy but thought nothing of it. after 24 hrs in was feeling itchy all over my body (head to toe and in between all crevices of the body). pain has gone down a bit and currently also taking ibuprofen 600MG for the inflammation. would rather have some pain than all of this uncomfortable itching. also getting winded by climbing up a flight of stairs.. | helped the very first time but caused so much discomfort afterwards. going to stop taking this and continue with ibuprofen instead (and telling my doc about this). | F | 25 | 2 days 5-325MG 4X D | 8/18/2011 | 1 | Back pain | At first I experienced great energy. Energy, and no pain! I hadn't felt that way since I was a child! But it only lasted about 3 days. Then it would depend, I would feel wired or drugged up and dumbed down! And for the rest of the time, even when I took lower dosage it was the same. DRUGGED UP, DUMBED DOWN, one person thought I had been drinking, another told me to stop taking it, because I wasn't ME! I also had nightmares, and fluid retention. | I have suffered with chronic pain for most of my life and I know what it's like to need to try new things, but this is something I would never recommend to anyone. | F | 47 | 9 days 2X D | 8/15/2011 | 4 | Occipital Neuralgia/12 slipped disc | Restlessness begins 15 min. after taking 5 mg that lasts about 6 hrs that then leads to extreme fatigue; excessive itching; feels like I need to eat something to absorb some of the side effects (tend to run low blood sugar too); bloating and constipation | I'm highly allergic to any pain medicine unless it's injected directly in my bloodstream at the hospital. With that said, this dose that I take is only AS NEEDED and it certainly beats going to the hospital and having delayed treatment risking life threatening tachycardia because of episodes that become increasingly overwhelming to my body let alone my heart. Plus, I found out the quicker I am able to "trick" my brain, and thus, counteract the pain mechanism of an episode (which never go away on their own; I've had them for over 3 mos. pre-treatment, which is why I might have cluster headaches as well because the 30-min intervals; on top of “ON” I do get migraines that only respond a bit to Relpax, Imitrex, etc). Anyway, I think everyone should be careful when taking any pain medicine. I do strongly feel that some people have more addictive tendencies than others (I had to leave my husband for this reason) but these people should not be deprived of pain relief, and no one should be persecuted for using something that provides such a benefit where the person can continue to lead a full life to the best of their ability. I do wish some doctors would take better profiles and be more proactive in managing their patient’s dosage like trying to circumvent any abuse by prescribing wkly dosages? As in everything else, moderation is key...excessive use is when it becomes a disease in itself that no one should have to deal with. | F | 39 | 4 months 5 3X D | 8/11/2011 | 1 | wisdom teeth removal all | none | it did not work at all for me | F | 16 | 1 days 1X D | 7/30/2011 | 3 | Femur surgery- 2 DVTs- Nerve damage | it blocked the pain by making me so completely drugged that I wasn't even aware of anything around me. I can see the pros to taking smaller doses, but now my withdrawals are so heavy I cant even function. Be careful while taking this, have someone oversee your dosage as at high levels things get easily confused. | Don't think I was as irritable as I was on vicodin but then again I was totally blacked out while on the percocet. | M | 35 | 20 days 15-20 6X D | 7/26/2011 | 2 | Kidney Stones | On the plus side, it worked very well for the pain. On the minus side: About half an hour after taking, I would fall asleep. I was itchy all over, but particularly on my back, under my arms, and my lower abdomen. It has caused severe constipation. It's been six days since a bowel movement. I stopped taking the drug, I'm so backed up. Now that I've stopped I have a severe headache and INCREDIBLE anxiety about everything. I never felt this before. It's torture. I'm hoping this passes in a few more hours. | Be VERY careful with this drug. It's obviously not for everyone. | M | 56 | 5 days 5-325 2X D | 7/14/2011 | 3 | 2 ruptured disks, spinal stenosis | Rebound headaches with generic versions, name brand percocet fixed that problem. Made pain go away, some itchiness in nose. Emotional anxiety, ups and downs. After prolonged use it really negatively impacted my ability to perform sexually - desire diminished and physical sensation, excitement and response to stimulation diminished dramatically over time. | Worked great for pain, watch the severe headaches. Ultimately long term effects on me psychologically helped me seek alternative pain medication from my doctor. | M | 51 | 3 months 7.5-325 4X D | 7/5/2011 | 4 | After Neck Fusion Surgery | Sensitive to Light, Sound, tiredness, headache | In the hospital I took Percocet 5/325 every three hours with morphine every three hours. (so one or the other every 1.5 hrs) They sent me home with the Percocets saying take every 4 hours as needed. The first day I was home it was not helping at all, the second day it helped a lot. The third day I was just getting a very big headache from it. The fourth and fifth day I cut the pills in half for the day and whole at night, which seemed to work well. | F | 23 | 10 days 5/325 4X D | 6/29/2011 | 4 | hern discs, mastoiditis | fatigue at first, now nothing but relief | It has helped me a great bit. Takes the pain away, and helps me rest. I do not feel tired, or drugged, so I am able to play with my kids still, without interuptions. | F | 26 | 16 months 10 mg 4X D | 6/24/2011 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | Nothing | I am on other medication for Fibro. and am on the max dose. Those meds do not attack the pain or ease it. I am on the last Fibromyalgia med there is in Canada. The rest did not work for me at all. I am a grown woman and had to BEG my doctors to get me this drug. I have been in and out of emergency and this is what they give me. Its the ONLY thing that helps. I only take a half when needed and I can function 100%. It brings the quality back into the life. This should be a level 3 drug, and doctors should not be so afraid to perscribe it to grown adults. | F | 40 | 5 months 325 1X AN | 6/19/2011 | 5 | chest pains | Equilibrium off, itchiness | Super relaxing, helps me think so clearly, never makes me sleepy, just relaxed. | M | 25 | 1 days ? 1X D | 6/9/2011 | 5 | back surgery | constipation and drowsiness | Worked great for my pain after my back surgery. It is very addicting and I knew that when I was taking this drug which is why I made sure only to take it for severe to mild pain. It will also make you constipated so I also took stool softeners which did help me go. Make sure you use with caution and if you think your getting addicted call your doctor ASAP.
