 5  Dislocated knee, DVT & Multiple PE Euphoria, nice high (improves mood), no pain, feeling like I'm functioning normally, but then the next day I wake up and realize that I was out of it the night before and don't really remember details. Sometimes I get a heavy / rapid heart beat at night. I can't take T3's alergic to codiene - so DR's prescribed Perc after diagnosed w/PE & DVT and suffering with my knee. First three weeks I took advantage of the "feel good" feelings as I was depresed, but after time I realized that I couldn't remember the last month! I was taking about 5 - 8 per day, now maybe avg. 1 day (if that). Can definitley see how it is addicting!!! Be careful those of you with addictive personalities! F 25 3 months

 5  Severe acute back pain None. I didn't get addicted either. Don't understand these people who get addicted... Took it as needed for pain. Releaved my pain. Doctor says he can't prescribe more since people can get addicted and when they get addicted they sue. I hate recreational drug users. Some of us have real pain. F 34 1.3 years

 5  Surgery for ovarian cancer Percocet worked great on the pain, but I have trouble sleeping and have wierd nightmares. I got a script for xanax to help me sleep and I am fine but groggy in the am. Stopped the Xanax to see if I could get some regular sleep since I was so tired anyway and I am up right now at 4:22am after the most realistic hallucination type nightmares I ever had. I think I will take the xanax tomorrow night till I am able to stop the percocets. I do get constipated but take 1 softlax for each pill and try to eat a lot of fruit and drink a lot of water. It really controls the pain for me. I can function like a normal person although as soon as it "kicks" in I do get warm and a little overly chatty.They actually make me hyper. I use the extra energy and feeling better to clean and organize do bookwork etc. It is amazing how this drug enables me to function with pain. I am trying to wean down since the pain is not so bad. Two weeks ago I had an abdominal implant and a pic line for chemo installed that was quite painful or I probably would have stopped taking them sooner. The pain is getting less now so I can see me not needing the medicine as much any more. I hope I do not have trouble like some folks have said. F 52 30 days

 5  Post OP Pain ACDF surgery The usual "goofy" feeling but after a few weeks of taking percocet it's not as bad. I don't feel like I need to pass out any more. The worst I've been experiencing is major constipation. I started taking fiber tablets and drinking more water which seems to be helping. Hopefully I'll be well enough to stop taking it soon. Completely wipes out the pain in my arm and neck lasting for about 5 hours per dose. F 38 3 weeks

 5  Kidney stones Lightheadedness, dizzyness, sleepyness, a good stomachache in the morning if I take 2 or more. I have 4 kidney stones. The doctor prescribed me 5/325mg percocets. Kidney stones has caused some of the worst pain I've ever expierenced. This medicine works completely. It may take 20-30 minutes to kick in if the pain is bad. But once in gear, it works, a great deal. It helps to get in a amazing afternoon nap too. F 17 3 weeks

 5  Neck pain Very itchy, nausea in the morning after drinking coffee. Took two 5/325's about an hour before bed for a week. Clearheaded but gives a nice "floaty" feeling from the neck down. Extreme nausea if stomach is empty OR too full. I also felt nauseous in the morning a couple of times after drinking my coffee. Makes me really itchy. Not clawing at myself but always gently scratching somewhere on my body, mainly my face. Very effective pain reliever, didn't find them to be addictive but that probably depends on the strength of the scrip. F 36 7 days

 5  Gall Bladder Removal Dry mouth , constipation, itchy feeling in random spots the whole time I know this site is good for explaining side effects, so I really came on here to check about the itchiness. I thought it was the incisions healing, but then it started itching randomly all over. I have 5 small incisions from surgery yesterday and when that morophine wore off, after recovery, I wondered if these perocets would work. Vicoden never did much of anything, but I have to say I was suprised at the effect perocet had on my pain. I feel a little jittery, but I aso take Wellbutrin XL which makes me a little jittery too. This medicine works wonderful, but you can tell when it wears off, that's for sure. Made after effects of my first surgery very tolerable. I did not find this drug to be addictive, but I'm definately staying on it til the pain subsides. It does a wonderful job for that. F 33 2 days

 5  Post OP Pain Relief The pain relief part worked but the side effects were so horrid Inausea, violent vomiting, dizziness agitation. My doc that brainiac decided to administer synthetic THC to treat the vomiting rather than change the drug. In a hospital setting not much could be done, so I was miserable for 2 days. There's gotta be something better out there! F 38 2 days

 5  sacroiliac sprain- fibromyalgia slight drowsiness, light ringing in ears, light constipation I almost feel like a real person again! My doc gave me Percocet for a bad back strain with a slipped disc pinching a nerve- i couldn't even roll over in bed- and it did help with the back pain quite a bit (you can still feel it, though.) But as a side 'effect' it nearly eliminated my painful fibromyalgia symptoms! taken with Soma, it nearly doubles the relaxant effect for muscle spasm, without having to double the amount of Percocet. That combo WILL make you sleepier though, so don't drive. After a couple days, I felt I could face the day to day that fibro destroys of your life- it's malevolent. The hard part will be telling him this worked for my elusive cavalcade of complaints- how can I ask for it as a treatment that works? It's supposed to be a temporary painkiller for my back til it heals. Instead it was an unexpected treasure. Along with Xanax at bedtime for insomnia, I actually feel rested for the first time in 19 months. The back pain comes and goes, but that will heal; I've pu F 50 7 days

 5  chronic pain due to IBD percocet relieved all my pain symptoms, very effective but VERY addictive, which wasn't realized till I tapered off it. Terrible insomnia and mood swings. Percocet eliminates the pain, so you feel you can do more physically, but remember the pain is still present along with the physical problem, so take it easy. F 35 3 weeks

 5  chronic adenomyosis &endometriosis Constipation that I am able to treat. Major epsiodes of cripling pain that make you want to die if not taken on a regular schedule. Percocet is not for babies. This is strong medication that deserves respect and regulation. Work closely with your doctor. It has been a miracle for me and my life. I literally wanted to die rather that go through that hell that was my pain until I got it under control with this medication. F 46 4 years
