| 4 | C-Section | Itching, disorientation, and bad dreams. | The first few days were fine when I was just itching. But after a week of the stuff I began having horrible nightmares and a lot of confusion. I would still use it again, but only short term. | F | 21 | 10 days | 12/29/2007 | 4 | Wisdom teeth removal-all 4 impacted | EXTREMEEEE dry mouth for days after taking, constipation, lightheaded in first hour after taking | I was told to take 1 pill every 4 hours. Worked great for about 2 hours, then slowly got worse until the 4 hour mark. i havent taken a percocet in 48 hours now and the dry mouth is not subsiding. It is absolutely awful dry mouth. But worked for pain, no vomitting or nausea. | F | 20 | 5 days | 1/11/2008 | 4 | golbladder attacks | loopy, slow,day dreams, late period. | Worked great for my pain, i never got addicted but it did scare me when i was over 2 weeks late for my period! | F | 18 | | 3/30/2008 | 4 | laparoscopic appendectomy | I get light headed, and I dont feel like talking, drowsy, it takes the pain completely away as long as i am not moving around to much, however if i do move it dulls the pain enough so that I can get everything done. | I would not reccommend driving while on this medication. | F | 18 | 8 days | 4/16/2008 | 4 | taylor spatial frame on tibia | loss of apetite, hard to concentrate, felt essentially "high" and it was difficult to function at times, felt myself starting to get addicted, bad constipation | i would wake up every four hours automatically because my body knew that it needed more percocet. It did stop most of the pain, which i realized i actually had after i was off narcotics. I missed percocet for a while, and i weened off of it by lessening the number of doses per day instead of stopping cold turkey. | F | 16 | 14 days | 5/22/2008 | 4 | F | 47 | | 11/6/2008 | 4 | tibial plateau fracture pre/post-op | CONSTIPATION!!! Some mild sedation at times, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing | Percocet works very well for my pain taken every 4 hours. At first it was prescribed by the ER MD for every 6 hrs and it was wearing off before then. My ortho surgeon prescribed it for 1-2 tabs every 4-6 hrs after seeing me though. I only needed 1 tab every 6 hrs before my surgery, but after the ORIF I definately needed 2 tabs every 4 hrs, and still do 1 week post-op. For some reason it works better than plain oxycodone at the same dosage, even when I took tylenol with it. Can't explain that, but all that matters is that it works. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is because of the bad constipation, but I just started taking some Miralax, so here's hoping. (I'm only 24 and have never been constipated before, and it is so AWFUL, I never would have imagined it was so bad) | F | 24 | 14 days | 11/30/2008 | 4 | post surgery | none | I was sure not to take this on an empty stomach. I also took one dose of Milk of Magnesia each day that I was taking it to prevent constipation. I experienced no negative side effects and was happy with this medicine. | F | 27 | 2 days | 1/14/2009 | 4 | post operation pain | definitely took away severe pain but also made me very sleepy and dizzy. I took 2 doses every 6 hours and now after having nightmares and headaches, down to 1 dose every 5 hours. Trying to withstand the pain. Woke up with mild itchy skin. Has made me very constipated. Will keep taking it for a couple more days. Takes about 25 minutes for pain to disappear. | F | 30 | 4 days | 1/19/2009 | 4 | back injury | DRASTICALLY increased sex drive... which no doctor has been able to explain. Eventually mild nausea set in though. | F | 38 | 3 days | 1/9/2009 | 4 | post-op carpal tunnel release | Loopy floaty feeling, distanced me from the pain and helped me sleep, difficulty focusing eyes, dizziness, some nausea - I am highly resistant to narcotics due to a genetic quirk of nature, and these work for me. | I am resistant to pain medication and anesthetics and Percocet is what I usually request for post-op pain....this medication is a high-powered narcotic. I usually take it constantly for the first 48 hours after surgery, then switch to only taking it to sleep for 2-3 days, then get off of it. I have a few leftovers that I have used after dual root canals and several other dental procedures. I take one, and sleep for at least 6 hours - I usually wake up ready to function again, even if not at 100%. This medication does NOT usually work well for nerve pain (i.e. sciatica, etc) It is usually very functional for trauma from injuries or surgery. The medication is addictive. For those of you who have posted that you take this drug for recreational purposes, one comment...IDIOT. This drug, like all opiates, will depress your nervous system. If you OD, or take it in conjunction with another downer, like alcohol, your brain will very likely stop many of its most basic functions....l | F | 28 | 6 days | 4/30/2008 | 4 | kidney stone | immediate fatigue, some itchiness, slight euphoric feeling while falling into dreamfilled sleep | kidney stone pain is pretty intense, so anything to ease the pain was welcomed. i took the percocet 2 at a time every 6 hours for about 18 hrs, waking up with pain each time they would wear off. i honestly slept for the entire time. i would try to stay awake to watch tv or read a book just to fall back into a really odd sleep with vivid dreams. woke up feeling better, kind of exhausted but the pain subsided for time being. | F | 22 | 2 days | 6/28/2008 | 4 | neuropathy/RSD | constipation | They definately help with my pain management. I take benedryl along with it and that cures any nausea. I see that many have the itches. The benedryl will also help that. | F | 52 | 2 years | 12/19/2009 | 4 | herniated discs and TERRIBLE cramps | itchy, issues with peeing (as in there's less of it less often) | I don't know why but I've always had to be heavy handed when it came to taking meds for any sort of pain. By the time I got to high school, i had to take at least 6 advil at a time to get anything out of them. tylenol never did anything for me. In High School, I was getting these debilitating menstrual cramps and my dad gave me half of a percocet that he had from a shoulder surgery and I found the answers to all my problems. when I've had to go in for various procedures, they've given me other med (the worst case was vicoden that had me extrememly drugged out for a week) and I've always had to have them switch the prescription. Percocet is the only thing that ever works for me on any level. Obviously when i take too much for the level of pain, it gets me high, but the only real side effects are the ones i've listed and i've found that if i take a couple benedryl capsyls that i'm totally fine. The peeing thing kinda stumps me though, so if anyone knows why that's happening, i'd love to hear from them. | F | 25 | 10 years | 1/2/2010 | 4 | neck pain/disc | constipation, euphoria, insomnia, hyperactivity,dehydration and rebound migraines, PAIN RELIEF | I was in the worst pain of my life and the Percocet gave me full relief from my pain. I just need to learn not to take it late at night because I will literally stay up until morning. I found that if I supplement with Motrin in between doses that it helps me with the headaches and pain when I come down. I also noticed that I get irritable when it wears off. Overall, the benefits far outweigh the side effects for me. I could function instead of being stuck in my bed in pain. | F | 28 | 14 days | 12/31/2009 | 4 | personal | severe itching, insomnia, weird dreams, hallucination, hearing false things, shaking, over eating, paranoid. | it's a good high, and does take the pain away. (i'm always in pain somewhere in my body) the only thing i don't like is that i am so tired, and i keep falling asleep and hearing noises that aren't there and getting up. it makes you paranoid. | F | 17 | 2 times | 1/5/2010 | 4 | Foot fractured in 2 places | The famous ITCHYNESS all over my body, constipation, loopy feeling, insomnia, severe hot flashes and sweating. | The side effects may be unpleasant at times but it's the only thing that worked on my pain. They were not bad enough to keep me from taking it when I needed it. It can be VERY addicting so I only take it when I truely need it. Tolerance builds quickly so I always wait as long as I can to take it. And the loopy feeling helps me forget my emotional pain of having 2 stepsons being forced to live in an abusive home and my husband being in Iraq right now. Sounds silly but it helps my anxiety about both situations. | F | 29 | 2 months | 4/24/2009 | 4 | lower back pain | The only side effect I find to really bother me is, I don't want to have sex at all anymore. This also bothers my husband! | F | 26 | 1 years | 5/11/2009 | 4 | post arm surgery | definite euphoria! sleepiness about a half an hour after taking, and helped me sleep too. it did help take the pain away a good amount. | i worked really good for me, but hey everyone reacts differently | F | 18 | 1 weeks | 8/2/2008 | 4 | Gallbladder disease | Euphoria, light-headed, constipation, nausea, insomnia, addiction. | I take Percocet periodically for gall bladder disease. When my gall bladder gets inflamed my whole midsection feels like I've been torn in half. I used to take Tylenol 3, but Percocet seems to work much better. I loved, and still love Percocet. I felt talkative, happy, and an overall euphoria. There was no pain what so ever. I did develop some insomnia, and sleep felt incomplete with periodic waking. I did have a small amount of nausea but this was relieved with a cold glass of water and laying down for a short while. I also developed an addiction to the med and would take it when the pain was easily tolerable with a OTC Tylenol or Advil. I still think its a good product, but would caution against long term use. There are good pain management clinics that offer alternatives. | F | 36 | 6 months | 4/15/2009 |
