| 4 | C-Section recovery | drowsiness | F | 28 | 2 weeks | 10/16/2007 | 4 | Total Knee Replacement | Dreaming, itching, dry mouth at night, | Percocet helped very well as an oral pain med. It took away the knee pain from surgery. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes for it to kick in but does work once it does kick in and last for 3 to 4 hours. I was taking two 5 mg tablets at first but now post op 3 weeks I am only taking one 5 mg tablet. I don't feel like I am addicted as I am still having surgical pain but plan to use them less and less as the pain improves. | F | 56 | 28 days | 2/10/2006 | 4 | Chevron Osteotomy post-op pain | heart palpitations, depressed respiration, sweating, slight anxiety, dry mouth, constipation | The palpitations were the most disturbing, but it managed otherwise unmanageable pain | F | 27 | 1.5 weeks | 2/15/2006 | 4 | Migraines | I get very itchy and sometimes very agitated when it starts to wear off (around 3 hours) Also, beware of panic attacks if you are predisposed..I've had them while driving while taking Percocet and it was hellish. I've also experienced a hard, racing heartbeat that is worse at night time?? Very strange. Overall an excellent painkiller | this is one of the only meds that helps my terrible headaches. I only wish it was longer lasting because it seems to be very short acting. sometimes i can't sleep if I take it too close to bed time. i actually am energetic instead of tired like many of the other reviewers. guess it's different for everyone. | F | 31 | | 3/8/2007 | 4 | regular post OP | Pain is basically all gone, senses enhanced, objects appear closer than they are, light looks stronger than it is, and your thoughts are slowed | Kept taking leftover pills on weekends... very addictive and just too easy to overdose on. Careful because tolerance goes up real fast and you always think you can take more, until you start trembling uncontrollably and you throw up bile and you feel suicidal | F | 18 | 2 years | 2/9/2007 | 4 | fractured vertebrae | nausea, vomiting, itchiness, constipation, euphoria at first but quickly wore off, lightheadedness, feeling of ears being blocked up, drowsiness, very groggy in the morning | For the first few week taking two 5/325's in combination with 600mg Ibuprofen every 6 hours was very effective in controlling pain. I was tired of feeling so nauseous so I switched to Tylenol 3's which did absolutly nothing for the pain. The first day I switched back to Percocet I vomited all day. After 8 weeks I find I need to supplement with 400mg Ibuprofen to get the same relief. Pain relief only lasts 4-5 hours. I control nausea with ginger tea and light meals. | F | 43 | 8 weeks | 3/9/2007 | 4 | post laparascopic surgery | Itchiness and bizarre dreams about zombies. | It does kill the pain, but I found that I get itchy with this drug like I do w/ morphine. | F | 43 | 1 weeks | 6/19/2007 | 4 | chroni back pain l-4 l- 5 disc | bloating sleeping but it helped | i will use it as long as i can get it. my pain was so hard.5/325 tab helped me. | F | 63 | 6 months | 7/13/2007 | 4 | Spine surgery | Horrible, uncontrollable itchiness, especially on my face and nose. | Percocet works very, very well for pain, but good lord, does it make me itch! I often hesitated about taking it because of the itchiness it caused, but having had an artificial disc replacement, sometimes I just had to. | F | 38 | 1 months | 6/30/2007 | 4 | Shoulder sprain. | Minor itching mainly on first dose taken. It slowed down after that. The biggest side effect was euphoria and drowsiness. | Worked great for the pain with the added perk of mood booster. | F | 21 | 3 days | 8/14/2007 | 4 | fibromyalgia and chron myof pain | dependence, addiction, euphoria, weak bladder muscles, nausea, itching | Helped with initial pain range of 7,8,9,10 on scale of 1 - 10, but should be discontinued asap due to addiction and physical dependence. If I am late for a dose, i hurt all over. It has been difficult to wean off this medicine even though I want to. I do not know what I would have done without this medicine, I was in so much pain. But now I am not in as much pain but am addicted to it. | F | 44 | 1 years | 4/28/2005 | 4 | Knee Injury | Slight constipation, light-headed high feeling, headaches a few hours after taking it, grogginess | Was impossible to do any work, but it got rid of the pain. Only problem was when coming off of it I would get awful headaches that were only cured with sleep. Liked it at first but now wondering if I'll ever take it again. | F | 21 | 7 days | 10/17/2007 | 4 | shoulder arthroscopy | constipation ..ate fiber to deal with it... good feeling, sleepy | F | 48 | 5 days | 10/23/2007 | 4 | Ruptured Disc | Very talkative, some constipation, LESS PAIN | Well, I have been taking the percocet for about 6 months now. When I first hurt my back, I was taking 3.25/500mg, now I am up to 10mg/500mg. They really work for the pain, but as time goes on, I need more and higher dose to get any relief. I cannot wait for this to be over with, I really hate feeling dependant on a controlled substance, and I know the dangers of addiction, and it really scares me to think of when I have to stop taking them. | F | 30 | 6 days | 11/1/2008 | 4 | back pain | INSANE ITCHINESS! It felt like I had a feather or animal fur tickling my whole body, but mostly my face and nose. Also had very bizarre dreams. | It made me groggy but I needed that because the back pain made it impossible to sleep. Worked great for pain and didnt suffer the stomach trouble I have read so much about. | F | 30 | 10 days | 9/2/2007 | 4 | ACL Reconstruction | Dizzy, hot flashes, weird dreams, feeling loopy | I took 1 every 4 hours a week ago and now I am on 3 a day. It takes about 30 minutes to work, but helps with the pain. I can only take it for another week so I am easing off of it. | F | 14 | 6 days | 11/17/2007 | 4 | Lung surgery | I had minimal side effects until I tried to come off it. Nausea, insomnia, chills, anxiety-it worked well for the pain, but is taking me forever to get off it. | F | 45 | 7 weeks | 6/7/2005 | 4 | Fibromyalgia | itchy nose, dry mouth, slight euphoria | It works better than anything else I've tried, but I haven't tried much else other than Tylenol 3 - which now have no effect on me. It does take a full hour to kick in, then disappears 3 hours after that on the dot. I haven't found it remotely addictive, but I can see that it is losing its effectiveness a bit. I take it about twice a day. | F | 38 | 4 months | 4/7/2005 | 4 | stomach pain | edgy & ichy | F | 41 | 3 days | 3/29/2002 | 4 | 2 herniated discs - lower back | dry mouth, slight cloudy feeling, constipation, slight itching | Has been the most effective drug in relieving the (siatic) nerve pain associated with disc herniation - much more so than Vicodin or Lorcet. But I took this once before for the same problem for a month and did go through a bit of a withdrawl when I did not need it any longer. Be carfeul - I can see how addictions can be formed... | F | 38 | 4 days | 4/12/2005 |
