 5  Knee Surgery Euphoria, decent pain relief, mild itching, constipation, vivid/strange dreams while asleep It takes 40 minutes for percocet to work its wonders. It doesn't seem to take long to get addicted. When I stopped taking it regularly my entire body ached. M 51 2 weeks

 5  Wisdom Tooth Extraction So far no side effects for me. I have chronic pain from Fibromyalgia, and I have a high tolerance to pain meds as a result of the long years of usage of vicodin and ultram. I must say the pain subsided substanially for me, however, oddly enough, I don't feel the "buzz" that I would get from vicodin. Always depends on the person. But never over use any narcotic, or pain meds such as ultram. The withdrawal effects are horrific to put it mildly. M 31 2 days

 5  Surgery post-op Drowsiness, calm feeling, relief from pain. Percocet, to me, is a top notch pain medication, superior in efficacy to Lortab (Hydrocodone makes me feel like I just drank 10 cups of coffee). Tolerance does develop quickly, so I understand how people can get caught up in addiction. Overall, high marks, this medication helped me leave the hospital in relative comfort and helps control pain when trying to get ambulatory. M 36 7 days

 5  Ankylosing spondylitis Occasional out of body type feelings. Also seems to either make me sleepy or wired depending on what I'm doing at the time. Have suffered for years with back and neck pain before finally being diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis a few months ago. Some of the NSAIDs have been effective, but when I have a bad pain flare up, it is debillitating. Tried tramadol and hydrocodone and neither really helped a lot. Received prescription for 7.5/325 percocet and it has been very effective. I only take what I need and I usually break the pills into halves and just take half a pill every 2-3 hours on days that I need them, taking 1/2 a pill more frequently seems to provide a very steady effect in the pain killing effects for me. If I am not in pain, I don't take them so I don't build a tolerance and am able to maintain the effectiveness when I need it on bad days. So far have not had any constipation issues with them. M 35

 5  painkiller after appendectomy euphoria, peace, pain went away, i felt a nice warmth, withdrawal symptoms i love this drug. for me it really works to kill the pain and i feel euphoric and at peace when i take it. the only negatives are that it may constipate you and it is definitely habit forming. i was only on it for 5 days, 3x/day and in that time my body formed an addiction to it. on the 6th day, i stopped taking it completely and i had the worst withdrawal headahces like i never felt before. it felt like what people describe migraines to be like. it felt like someone was wacking me over the head with paul bunyan's hammer. i resolved this by taking 1/day for a few days to ween off. this drug is no joke -- it works for the pain but i can see where it could make you an addict. M 37 5 days
325 MG 1X day

 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. Hope this helps.

 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

 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

 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

 5  Hypertrophied Tonsils Euphoria, Numbness of Extremities, Increased Urination I'm just taking one when I wake up and one when I go to bed, although if I had enough I would be taking 2 5/325's every 4 hours. I've only been using them for 3 days and I'm already hooked; they eliminate the pain but they are very addictive. M 20 3 days
