 2  Breakthrough pain from AS Flashes of light in my peripheral vision. Although it works better for the breakthrough pain from my ankylosing spondilitis than Norco I don't use it because of the light flashes in my peripheral vision. Took it for one month then went back to Norco. M 38 1 months

 2  Knee Surgery Nausea, the worst headaches ever, fever, dizziness I was not a fan of percocet. I was told it was stronger than Vicodin, so I divulged myself in taking it, but experienced some of the worst headaches I have ever encounted. I was on and off it for about a week only taking maybe two pills a day. M 23 7 days

 2  Ligament Surgery The pain relief was about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. But it made my entire body itch incessantly, it made me depressed, killed my appetite, and stopped up mu internal plumbing for days. Simply not worth it. Switched to Aleve and haven't looked back. M 30 3 days

 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 day

 1  Post-Op Heart Surgery Horrific Hallucinations I was given a low dose Percocet in ICU the day after my heart valve surgery and I experienced horrific hallucinations every time I closed my eyes for about six hours. I was convinced that I was seeing Hell. The experience was so bad that I was afraid to close my eyes for over a week. I am now four months post surgery and I am still mentally traumatized by what I saw. M 48 1 days
Minimal 1X day

 1  Kidney Stone A seizure, muscle twitching. People around me thought I'd died. Is the worst medicine I've ever had in my life. The pain of the kidney stone was gone in one minute, but 30 minutes later I had a seizure that made me bit my tongue, twitch my legs and arm muscles and fell unconscious. The doctors then told me I was intolerant to opiates NO WONDER!!!!! M 31 1 days

 1  Total knee replacement I only take them when the pain is unbearable. It stopped the pain - BUT - severely impacted ability to sleep. When sleep finally came I had bizzare nightmares, waking up in a panic and shouting. Needless to say, trying to work the following day was a disaster. It has happened 3 times - I'll not take another one. M

 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  Migraines and Restless Leg Syndrome Calm happy feeling, pain relief! I suffer from migraines and RLS. I spent many years going to different doctors and got handed drugs that either didn't work or worsened my conditions. I had tried everything, even Botox for the migraines, but still didn't get relief. Then one day, a doctor wrote me a script for Percocet, and it has greatly improved the quality of my life. It is the only thing that takes away the persistent pain of migraines and RLS. It does give me a bit of euphoria, but I only take my pills as needed and don't abuse the prescription. I wish people didn't abuse these, as they can be very helpful to people who legitimately suffer from chronic pain! F 25 2 years

 5  Spinal Stenosis,Herniated Disc In the beginning I had slight nausea. It passed quickly. Percocet is the only drug that has helped my pain. I have been suffering for 10 years and finally this is working. Now with the new laws they want to take it away. Pain is a terrible thing to live with and until you are in such pain you will not understand. F 58 2 years
