| 5 | Dental surgery | Itching, drowsiness, everything sounds louder, some ringing in my ears | I had to take this for a few days for pain and swelling in my mouth following oral surgery. It completely knocked out the pain, and knocked me out as well. I slept for twelve hours the first night I took it. I took two together, and it made me extremely drowsy about an hour later. All sounds I heard seemed amplified. Before I fell asleep, I felt extremely relaxed and calm. I enjoyed that feeling of relaxation. The second time, I only took one because I didn't want it to hit me quite so hard. The only side effects I noticed were itchiness and milder drowsiness. This drug is very effective for pain and anxiety. It's easy to see why so many people become addicted. | F | 33 | 3 days 5-325 1X day | 10/30/2013 | 5 | toe/bunion surgery on both feet | constipation, rapid thoughts, upset stomach | this drug makes me feel high and helps me relax. also takes away most of my pain. | F | 30 | 12 days | 1/23/2010 | 5 | shoulder surgery | hot flashes, some itching, spaciness, mild high | 2nd shoulder surgery - much better this time with percocet. I sleep through the night and have experienced way less pain - the first time with different med was so much worse. Starting to take less frequently so as not to develop addiction - now 1 every 6-8 hours instead of every 4. Glad to see others have hot flashes and know that is simply a side effect. | F | 44 | 5 days | 1/18/2010 | 5 | BACK PAIN | minor nausea depending,constipation,Will experience the shakes and feel horrible withdrawls if you are out of medicine for within few days if you are on it regularly. | would recommend for pain,i been on it for like 5 years and wish i could get off it but need it for pain but i experience withdrawls if im out sooner than suppose to be.i do not reccommend taking it for a long period of time due to dependency. | F | 35 | 5 years | 1/19/2010 | 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 | For Hip Pain & Fibromyalgia | Itching in the beginning but this went away in time. Severe constipation even with lowest dose, but found some help for this through trial and error. Slight hyperactivity. | Just to comment on cutting these pills in half or even thirds: I do this frequently and have no ill effects or "buzz" from it. I have found that I do better on small doses spread throughout the day and have no problems doing this...I know some people do though-so be careful and follow your doctor's instructions. I have taken Percocet off and on without the need to increase the dose - it still works just fine to control pain without making feel drugged or interfering with my life. | F | 59 | 3 years | 12/1/2009 | 5 | surgery for torn ligament in ankle | constipation, mild hallucinations, drowsiness | I found this drug to be very helpful for pain. I was concerned about dizziness and vomiting, so my dr. also prescribed a drug called hydroxyzine pamoate, and I was not dizzy or sick at all. I did have some hallucinations (snakes and worms on the ceiling) and one weird dream. I did not have any pain, mainly just a nice feeling of drowsiness and euphoria. | F | 55 | 4 days | 1/6/2010 | 5 | kidney stones and obstruction | I can't sleep and I itch like crazy! But it's been so great for reliving the pain I could care less about the insomnia and itching.I'm very thankful to be out of pain. | F | 34 | 4 months 10 | 10/24/2014 | 5 | shoulder pain | F | 36 | 3 months 40 | 11/11/2014 | 5 | 27 fibroid tumors removed/ open myo | Severe constipation. Didn't have Bowel movement for 10 days. Ended up impacted twice! Had to take oral mineral oil, several fleet enema's, an entire box of Colace and Miralax to finally have BM. However, I had had major abdominal surgery (open myomectomy) which included the removal of 27 fibroid tumors in an open myomectomy procedure with 10 inch surgical incision along with major swelling and pain. After three days in hospital on continuous PCA of dilaudid, I went home and didn't move much for the first two weeks, spending all day and night in bed with only exception being to use the bathroom in which I needed help getting out of bed and back to do so. Also, I barely ate or drank fluids. So, with this said, the extreme constipation was due to all of those factors.. Other than that, no nightmares at all, no itchiness, slept like a baby, happy euphoric feeling despite my traumatic surgery situation. It's a perfect drug for pain relief for severe pain in the short term. I eventually made | Great for short term use for severe pain. Have never had chronic pain in my life, so I feel bad for those who need to take it for years.. Definite risk for developing tolerance and addiction. Perfect for short term use for severe pain. | F | 45 | 30 days 10 4X day | 12/2/2014 | 5 | L5-S1 herniation, multi-level DDD | Mild itching-much less with brand-name percocet instead of generic. and i swear name brand works better. major sweating/hot flashes, shortened temper. | Percocet 10/325 is the ONLY thing that works for my back pain/leg pain besides IV Dilaudid. I have an L5-S1 disc herniation and 70% compression of my neuroforamen. I am seeing the neurosurgeon next week. I also have DDD But it enrages me because of all the red tape i had to go through to get a doctor to prescribe this medicine for me because of all the DRUGGIES and people with MINOR pain/back issues who don't even need it. Oxycodone is IS A "BIG GUN" and should be reserved only for those who truly need it. | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 5/27/2009 | 5 | broken ankle - 3 places/torn ligame | made me very thirsty (drank a lot of water = hobbling to the bathroom on crutches a lot), constipation, makes me sleepy | i had surgery a few days ago and was prescribed percocet for the pain. from the start i have been VERY careful with this medication because my brother-in-law died of an OD from it earlier this year (i didn't realize exactly what pain med i had been given until i was already home, otherwise i would have probably asked for a different one). the only complaint i have is the constipation, but my orthopedic surgeon told me i could take milk of magnesia for that. about 20 min after i take my dose (2 pills every 6 hours for the 1st 2 days after surgery, but now i take only 1 every 6 hours) i can feel the pain going away. | F | 26 | 6 days | 5/30/2009 | 5 | DDD,fibro,costhartitis | none | a good pain med for chronic pain. | F | 48 | 3 years | 9/2/2009 | 5 | Multiple sclerosis - back pain | None | After trying a number of drugs for pain ... this one was the one that worked for me. I've been on it since 2005 with no problems .. other than after a couple years it doesn't work as good. I have no idea what my life would be like without this drug. I can function like everyone else. The quality of my life is 100% better. Although it does not take all of the pain away it's enough for me. I'm happy I can still walk on my own. | F | 31 | 5 years | 9/22/2009 | 5 | elbow Injury | None | i love it! what a wonder drug | F | 20 | 3 weeks | 8/10/2009 | 5 | Chronic Lower Back Pain | Itching, nausea, dizzyness and vomiting | I have lower back pain almost all the time, I started by taking hydrocodone which didn't work very well so I found myself taking too many at a time. Percocet is not a miracle pain pill but it works a little better and I end up taking less. | F | 24 | 2 months | 10/8/2009 | 5 | Shoulder Surgery (rotar cuff tear) | Nausea, dry mouth | Benefit far outweighs side effects. Dosage was 7.5/325. Eat prior to taking medication and drink lots of water. Controlled extremely painful surgery and helped knock out pain enough to get through physical therapy excercises. I couldn't have done so without this mediction. | F | 44 | 14 days | 12/19/2009 | 5 | Chronic Pain L4-5 surgery, DDD, OA | Some constipation. Occasional drowsiness. VERY talkative. | I've taken this drug off and on for over 19 years. I do hit tolerance with it and must switch off it for awhile. It works very well though for breakthrough pain as long as I manage the drug properly. Luckily I've never had a MD not want to prescribe, which I believe is due to my records being very complete and me being open, honest and trustworthy. | F | 51 | 19 years | 2/8/2009 | 5 | lower back nerve pain | mild constipation and stomach upset | This is the only drug which seems to help me with the back pain, leg pain I have been getting from having the L5 nerve pressed. I try to take is sparingly, only when the pain is very bad, and at night so that I can sleep. I have been told that you cannot take this long term since it is addictive. I advise not taking it on an empty stomach. I always take it after eating, or with 4 0z of milk and plenty of water at bedtime. I have been eating a high-fiber diet with this and that helps alot. | F | 49 | 5 weeks | 2/17/2009 | 5 | separated shoulder | Loopyness, drowsyness | Currently taking for a separated shoulder, I am only taking it at night so I can sleep comfortably. It works wonders, and I am not worried about addiction, I have been on it before for a broken ankle and broken thumb with no problems. Taken correctly it does its job! | F | 27 | 7 days | 12/3/2008 |
