| 5 | mellow feeling | was great! | F | | 1/2/2001 | 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 | 7.5/325 2X day | 1/15/2011 | 5 | M | | 4/7/2006 | 5 | | 6/2/2006 | 5 | | 7/25/2004 | 5 | | 5/20/2004 | 5 | | 6/1/2004 | 5 | | 6/4/2004 | 5 | BACK SURGERY | F | | 3/10/2004 | 5 | 32 | | 1/28/2004 | 5 | | 6/27/2003 | 5 | Back Surgery | Nightmares, Sleepy, Headache | I have taken this medicine for a week, but am now having nightmares. They are so bad I can't get back to sleep. My nightmares are heads floating of people I know includnig myself and my mother who has been dead for 26 years now. The little girls faces are cute and then they start having things come out of the sides of their head. Very strange. | F | 49 | | 10/28/2008 | 5 | back and hip pain | none | had to be careful about building up a tolerance but without it the pain was intolerable. | F | 49 | | 9/8/2007 | 5 | Endometriosis and Ectopic Pregnancy | 1. Mood: Makes me happy with life and generally enjoy everything and everyone. 2. Takes about an hour to kick in, but dulls the pain enough to make it tolerable. However, pain comes back about 2 to 3 hours after taking pill. 3. Constipation, but this is not a factor when I drink enough water. 4. Extremely comfortable sleep. | This medication is highly addictive. I take it for about 4 or 5 days a month and find it very difficult to put down once I pick it up. I end up giving it to my husband and having him hide it from me until the next month rolls around. | F | 34 | | 11/14/2007 | 5 | Rhinoplasty | Drowsiness, Disorientation. | Very Helpful to ease the Post-Surgery Pain. | M | 33 | | 5/26/2008 | 4 | Neuropathy | The Itch, The Giggles | I like taking percocet - it gets rid of the horrible neuropathic pain I get and gives me a nice buzz. Of course the fun wears off after a while but it does a good job of killing the pain. I've been taking percs on and off for years for different things - from ankle surgery to my recent neuropathy. | 41 | | 11/13/2009 | 4 | Neck Spurs | Constipation, tiredness | This medication has helped me, however if you have any substance abuse issues you should stay clear. Your body builds up a tolerance to this pretty quick, in return leaving you to crave more of the drug to get the same effect as when you started. I wouldn't take this more then 2 months due to addiction risk. | F | 39 | 5 MG 2X day | 6/27/2014 | 4 | | 12/8/2007 | 4 | chronic pain | No serious side effects noted. I did build up a tollerence and to have dose change | M | 63 | | 12/18/2007 | 4 | golbladder attacks | loopy, slow,day dreams, late period. | Worked great for my pain, i never got addicted but it did scare me when i was over 2 weeks late for my period! | F | 18 | | 3/30/2008 |

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.
