| 1 | spinal fusion and laminectomy | nausea, itching, sleeping all day, all-around felt like I wanted to die, loss of hand coordination. totally feeling horrible | F | 82 | 2 days | 7/29/2005 | 1 | spinal fusion and laminectomy | nausea, itching, sleeping all day, loss of appetite, all-around felt like I wanted to die, loss of hand coordination. totally feeling horrible | F | 82 | 2 days | 7/29/2005 | 1 | cancer | I think taking 50 miligrams of codeine is far better of a high | it sux and it makes you wanna die | M | 81 | 3 days | 1/13/2005 | 3 | Pain relief | constipation, dizziness, drowsiness | Alleviated pain of surgical skin graft fairly well. | M | 76 | 25 days 15-650 mg 4X day | 3/8/2011 | 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 day | 2/27/2012 | 5 | Back pain | None. Tired sometimes | They take care of my pain. I take them as prescribed. I don't abuse them. | F | 71 | 0 days 10/325 | 8/31/2017 | 4 | Bilateral knee replacement | Blurred vision, constipation | Percocet does relieve my post-op pain if I take enough of it. The blurred vision has me worried. It's a listed side effect on the patient information sheet, but I haven't been able to find out anything more about it. I noticed the blurring after the surgery and although I can't be sure, I attribute it to the Percocet. I had my vision checked and verified that it had gotten worse. My concern now is whether the vision change is temporary or permanent. | M | 71 | 25 days | 11/18/2006 | 5 | chronic syatic nerve damage | I find it to be the miracle drug. I've taken it on and off for years. The cyatic damage is so severe, without it I can't stand more than five minutes before the pain is totally out of control. My doctor has suggested a morphine implant, but I refuse to go forward with it. I don't have any side effects, I don't get fuzzy or any of the side effects your viewers have listed. I do suffer from constipation, but with the right diet I can resolve the problem. I don't take percocet to get a high, I take it for pain. I find if I totally relax for a day, I don't need it at all. I can find relief with advil. However, I cant spend my time on my butt, so I find percocet to be my choice of drugs. Doctor's told me four years ago I'd be in a wheel chair within two years, so far, I can still get around. I'm 70 years old and truly feel those that get a high from this drug, don't need it! When you suffer from severe pain, you don't get high, just relieved and able to function. Joy | F | 70 | 4 years | 1/27/2007 | 4 | Sever nck, back, and rumatoid arthi | Afterawhile I began to get cold sweats, sick to my stomache, dizzy light headed, and real bad headaches | These effects didn't start till after I had taken it over ayear. | F | 70 | 10 months 0.5/with t | 1/20/2017 | 4 | Bursitis,arthritis ,Sacroiliac pain | Upset my stomach at the start, make sure you eat first. Eases my pain and lets me have a normal life. | I was hesitant to take opioids, but after giving myself an ulcer and Barrets Esofegus from taking OTC ibuprofen, I have found relief at last. I don't have side effects from Percocet, they're a god send for me. I have a great Dr, he listens to what I have to say, has been really patient with me. It's sad though that some people abuse Percocet just to get high, it ruins it for us that are in chronic pain. My best to all that's really suffering, take one day at a time and don't push your body, listen to it. | F | 67 | 10 months 5/325 2X day | 10/20/2016 | 5 | shoulder arthroscopy | some itching, constipation | Percocet alone did not stop my severe pain after surgery until I also took 600mg of motrin. The combo worked extremely well. | M | 65 | 3 days | 2/13/2006 | 1 | pain after surgery | Emergency surgery, detached retina (in hospital overnight), age 54, at parents home next night, dr. gave percocet; very vivid, frightening hallucinations, so much that I finally MADE myself get up, stay up, drink water rest of night until it wore off. Pain was bad but NOTHING like nightmares! 14 more eye operations (other retina also detached, now high partial legally blind) & doctors know not to give me percocet! | F | 65 | 1 times | 9/22/2009 | 5 | had broken my back | Tried, depression ,crying, | F | 63 | 4 months 30mg | 4/3/2013 | 4 | chroni back pain l-4 l- 5 disc | bloating sleeping but it helped | i will use it as long as i can get it. my pain was so hard.5/325 tab helped me. | F | 63 | 6 months | 7/13/2007 | 4 | chronic pain | No serious side effects noted. I did build up a tollerence and to have dose change | M | 63 | | 12/18/2007 | 2 | Back pain sciatica | My Dr prescribed this for severe sciatica pain and the first time I took one pill it made me dizzy, nauseous , short of breath and sleepy but did take the pain away .I didn't take it for several days then tried again and this time it made me extremely itchy all over but still does nothing for the pain . The itchiness lasted for about 6 hours with no pain relief at all . Had to take Benadryl to relieve the itch . | F | 63 | 7 days 1X day | 12/17/2014 | 1 | widespread arthritis-pain managemen | I've been taking Percocet for 5 years. I have had major headaches and terrible moodiness the past 3 years. Affects your mood and if you suffer from headaches and mild depression it will male you much worst. I highly recommend taking non-narcotic pain meds. I am in rhe process of withdrawal. I have never abused, taking only prescribed amount but still became dependant. | F | 63 | 5 years 5 mg 3xdai | 4/14/2015 | 5 | Post Neck & Back Surgeries | Itching when Generic was taken, due to the "binders" in the Generic Value. Brand Percocet does not cause itching. | Please eat something, prior to taking Percocet to ward-off the nausea, ie.applesause, crackers, ice cream etc. DO NOT TAKE ON an EMPTY STOMACH, you will become nauseous / or vomit. Nice pain reliever, and wears off in approx 3-5 hours, depending on the person. I take 3 times daily for chronic pain, from failed back surgery and Fibromyalgia. | F | 62 | 12 years | 12/4/2009 | 5 | lower back pain | I think it dries up my respiratory function, harder to breath at nightdulls the pain for a few hours, helps me sleep | Dulls the pain for a few hours, helps me sleep | M | 62 | 3 years | 8/22/2006 | 4 | Tolerate back pain for an MRI | Felt a little light headed after taking it. Had nightmares while sleeping. Felt like I had a hangover in the morning. | I ate a meal before taking the Percocet. Kept well hydrated. I do not take any kind of medications however, to get through the MRI I had to take just one to make the pain tolerable to have the procedure done. It worked for me. I don't think I would want to take this on a long term basis however, we are not all built from the same mold. | F | 62 | 1 days 5 1X day | 1/25/2017 |
PERCOCET (ACETAMINOPHEN; OXYCODONE HYDROCHLORIDE): This combination medication is used to help relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains a opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (oxycodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Oxycodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. FDA Approval Date: 2001-11-23 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
