 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

 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

 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

 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

 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
