| 5 | severe nerve and back pain | at first a little dizzy and sleepy | i was on vicodin and when they put me on the percocet i was able to sleep,able to eat again,it improved my pain and elevated my mood,it helped with my depression as well as the pain,i felt human again and was able to function,i had more side effects from the vicodin and got no where near the relief | F | 50 | 1.5 years 10/325 3X day | 10/3/2010 | 5 | backpain/terrible toothaches | Slight dizziness, head rushes, nothing serious just the basics of any medicine thats prescribed. | F | 18 | 2 years 4-5/day | 1/2/2012 | 5 | Knee replacement | Nausea, headache, no appetite. Constipation, horrible dreams itching | At first I would sleep all the time. Pain would come back before next dose was due. Bad dreams began to subside, but hallucinations remained just not as bad. It has been very effective in helping to manage my pain. Less side effects with percocet than with lortabs First time I've ever used this medication. I have high pain tolerance but I still needed help with the pain from surgery. I'm being very careful with it because I've never been addicted to anything and I sure don't want to be addicted to percocet | F | 58 | 35 days 10 mg 5X day | 11/24/2011 | 5 | Oral surgery scrapping bone. | I think I lost most of my friends. it's a good thing I can't speak very well now or they would all be gone | Great Painiller. First time I ever took it but it sure opened my eyes to what morons people are. No Euphoria. | F | 55 | 4 days 10 3X day | 6/4/2012 | 5 | back pain | If percocet works for your pain and makes you sick and vomit you have to reduce dosage. I was given 10 mg but they made my stomach upset but went straight to the pain. So I just had it reduced to 5 mg. Although they say it so addictive, what I've found is if I use them only when in serious pain I don't have an issue. Never felt any 'fun' feeling from them. They just do what the should. They kill the pain. | F | 40 | 3 years 5mg | 3/15/2012 | 5 | broken hand | im breaking out all over and i inche and my legs and feet are really swallen | F | 60 | 8 days 7.5-325mg | 5/13/2012 | 5 | Slight pain | I break 15 mg in half and take them every 1.5-2 hrs, constipation, but up hora, not so damn depressed. I do enemas if needed and see a. I like it. | Be careful addictive | F | 45 | 3 years 15 10X day | 5/15/2012 | 5 | fibromyalgia & chronic pain | Miracle drug for me. Accident in '96 completely disabled me. Many Drs & failed scripts later, found that oxycontin, percocet & flexeril gave me my life back. Skip to 2013 & no Dr will treat me severe chronic pain with percs or oxy. Even having problems getting anyone to write me flexeril now. My life is a nightmare of rock hard muscles, tmj, nerve pain & more. Family & friends now send me any flexeril &percocet they get so I can sleep, work, drive, be mom & function somewhat normal. I quarter a 10mg perc & take them as needed for pain. I had been getting 30 10mgs perc every 3-6months for over 10 years. I don't get high off my meds, I get a life & work on them. Without them, I'm unable to dress, shower, climb stairs, eat, think, etc. Thank god I have family & friends who give up their meds so I can maintain some semblance of a normal life. Fuck you DEA for taking away our meds so you can shake down Dr Geeks who fold under the threats of losing their licenses so you can stop a small amount of junkies who ruin it for the ones who really need flexeril & oxycodone to function. May you have an accident & get denied pain relief by a Dr you made stop writing pain meds. FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE DEA! BTW, I have never ever gone into withdrawal since I don't take ANY meds when their is no pain. When I am in a flare, I beat myself up for taking more than a quarter of a perc. I wish to die rather than live in so much pain. GET THE DEA OUT OF | F | 42 | 10 years 10mgs | 6/25/2013 | 5 | dysmenorrhea | Slight dizziness, anxiety, sleep disturbance. Tends to cause nightmares, or confusing dreams where you don't know if you're asleep or awake, or where you are. Because of this, it's better for daytime use, when the side effects are hardly noticeable. Very good for pain management when the OTC stuff just does not work at all. The low level dose (I believe 5 mg is the lowest oxy made) is excellent for handling those more intense pains like sharp backache and migraine, while the medium and high doses should be left to cancer pain and severe injury. Since I take this for about 4 days a month, I have not had any withdrawal or addiction problems. It also does not provide any kind of high or even a buzz at 10 mg, though it will sometimes elevate my mood to a comfortable, pleasant feeling. | I take 5 to 10 mg doses of this, and it effectively eliminates the pain. My pain with this disorder fluctuates from level 4-5, and sometimes the 5 mg dose is not quite enough. I can't take it at night, though, since it causes pounding heartbeat and really wild anxiety. Like Vicodin, it will make my hearing really sensitive, and any sound (especially if I doze off) will sound thunderous and cause a profound, anxious reaction. | F | 28 | 4 days | 2/2/2006 | 5 | Migraines | dry mouth, itchy nose, euphoria | I use percocet along with caffeine and an anti-emetic for my migraines and this is the first "cocktail" that has worked to keep me out of the ER! I only have to take 1/2 a percocet most of the time to gain relief and be able to go on with my day (after about an hour of rest) - it has been a life-saver! | F | 28 | 18 months | 11/28/2006 | 5 | breast augmentation | bad itching, but nothing worth stopping...started to need 2 or 3 every 4 hours to kill the pain after the first week. besides the pain, the feeling of total relaxation, and loss of worry was wonderful. Was able to keep my household running. | Doctor was generous with script. i would have kept on them if he couldn't tell by my face that i was feeling just fine post-op. | F | 34 | 1 months | 9/23/2005 | 5 | Headaches 2nd to Neck/Back Injury | Occasional chills. Usually after I've had to take a lot over the course of a couple of days. Once after I took 1/2 of a 10mg tab. It shouldn't be different than the 5mg tabs I usually take, but it seemed to be much stronger. I didn't like the feeling. I'll stick with my 5s. | Best medication I've found to manage my headaches. I start low and move up to see how much I need. I take 5/325s. I'll cut them in quarters if I need to, but through trial and error, I've determined how much I need for the level of pain I'm in. Sometimes a whole tab would just be overkill. | F | 49 | 15 years | 9/21/2005 | 5 | THA surgery and RA | I get extremley tired and lightheaded and itchy. It also seems very addictive but I haven't gotten the "I have to have it" feeling yet. | I have taken Ultram, oxycodone, vicodin, Fetanyl Patches, and morphine and out of all of them Percocet gave me the least amount of side effects and the best results. It's a wonder medicine. | F | 16 | 4 months | 4/3/2006 | 5 | Ruptured disk and back surgery | Two of the 5-325 would make me loopy (head spinning, eyes rolling around) in just a few minutes. It did however actually let me sleep sometimes which was a godsend b/c I was in such horrible pain. Mentally I was shot when I was on it, couldn't remember things or think of specific words while trying to describe things. Found some blood in my nose but never actually got bloody nose. I itched some but not too bad, but it definitely relaxed me and made things more bearable. | I had a severely ruptured disk (1cm) at L5S1 which had broken off and was laying on my sciatic nerve. I had constant excruciating pain in the back of my right thigh and lost almost all feeling in my foot. I took percocet for more than a month before they got me in for back surgery and it was alright. However after back surgery when the ruptured piece was removed it was awesome. One 5-325mg Percocet every 4 hours made the incision in my back tolerable, but I had to take 2 every 4 hours to combat the new sciatic nerve pain. Because they had removed what was pressing on my sciatic nerve, now I was getting severe shooting pains up and down my left as feeling returned to it. Sometimes that last hour seemed like hell just waiting on the next dose but once I took it, the pain was lessened and I was actually able to lay down and relax for the first time in over a month. It didn't completely make the sciatic pain go away but definitely made it tolerable and by then the inciscion site hardly hur | F | 30 | 2 months | 1/20/2006 | 5 | Chronic pain | Constipation but relieved with stool softener an magnesium tabs | I have chronic pain after several accidents,auto immune arthritis and a physician botching up a nerve block and biopsy of brain artery. These pills do not get me high,they help me to function so I can cook,clean,go grocery shopping. I am able to enjoy life as best as I can and I'm so great full for my pain management physician. | F | 60 | 3 years 7.5 3X day | 10/16/2012 | 5 | Wisdom teeth removal | headache, itching and my hearing goes a bit fuzzy the first 20 minutes | F | 25 | 3 days 325mg | 10/28/2012 | 5 | had broken my back | Tried, depression ,crying, | F | 63 | 4 months 30mg | 4/3/2013 | 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 10-325 4X day | 1/9/2013 | 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 7.5 1X AN | 1/24/2013 | 4 | Ankle surgery: tendon repair | light-headeness; dizzy; nausea; constipation; bizarre visions in my head before falling asleep; difficulty reaching orgasm (diminished arousal and interest to begin with) | It works WONDERS to relieve pain. In about 30 mins I can feel the pain just GO AWAY! But then again, so does all other feeling! I've only taken it before bed and during the night, as I am still waking up every 4-5 hours with pain, especially since the cast came off and the pain is worse at night. Last night I took 2 because I overdid it during the day and I wanted to sleep, and I am sorry for having done that. I am going to try other remedies to deal with the night pain because of the way I feel this morning (which is how I found this website): sick to my stomach, dizzy and on the verge of vomiting. I'd rather have the pain in my ankle than the pain in my head. If you need SERIOUS pain relief, percocet really works. But beware of the side effects and take only as little as you need. You can even cut the pill in half! | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 9/4/2005 |
