| 4 | yes | I had been dizzy, slurred speach, found out it wasn't my percocet, it was a problem with my back some bone growth protein used in surgery, who knew? Wish I would have known that it was from surgery bmp. Turned out percocet is just what I need to help. This bmp is why I slurred and dizzy fatigue its like a glue in my back. Percocet helping me. | F | 45 | 2 years 10 mg | 8/11/2014 | 4 | Chronic pain due to a car accident, | Sometimes keeps me awake...but the pain relief way outweighs any negative side effects.....this has been a miracle drug for me. | I can function....and have some quality of life when i have my medicine.....without it....there is no quality of life. I see people all the time who dont need their pain meds...they are the reason thosw of us who do get such a hard way to go when we go to the doctor....it is sad...... | F | 40 | 7 years 10 | 1/15/2015 | 4 | Hernia surgery | extreme dry mouth, drooling,short-term insomnia,drowsiness,weird dreams | Did good controlling post surgery pain. Worst adverse at night i woke up every 30 to 60 minutes. | F | 24 | 6 days | 12/13/2009 | 4 | Painful bladder syndrome | with the generic, I had ringing in my ears, hallucinations, itching and some diarrhea. With the brand name I do not have any of those side effects, just sometimes I find if someone is talking, it sounds like they are talking twice as loud as normal. So really not sure why this drug affects my ears! | I have found that percocet has worked for me, but the reason I came across this site is I am concerned about the long term use since I have been on it for so many years. I do not take more than 4 in any 24 hour period so it is not like it is every 4 hours, but I am concerned about the acetominophen/liver toxicity risk. If you know where to find out info re this, please post it here as I am having difficulty finding out | F | 32 | 10 years | 1/23/2010 | 4 | Post surgery | Nightmares; nigh sweats; euphoria; general relaxed and feeling wonderful; too much one day causes 'hangover' feelings the next day, drowsy. | I've been on Percocet before my last surgery and I would give it a 5 star rating if not for the issues I have at night. During the day I feel wonderful, not only is the pain gone, but I feel euphoric, very relaxed and have a general 'high' feeling. I can see why this drug gets abused....it really makes you feel great! That is until I go to bed. I'm usually exhausted by bedtime but this drug causes night sweats combined with chills. I have terrible nighmares and wake up frequently. If I take too many pills I actually feel 'hungover' the next day. Its a good thing I was only given 50 tabs other wise I could see myself abusing this drug. I truly have a better understanding of the trouble people have getting off this drug. Even bad days feel great when you've got Perc. Best wishes to all who are stuggling to get off. | F | 40 | 20 days 10 4X day | 6/12/2013 | 4 | Fractured calcaneus/post-surgery | Vivid night terrors, vivid dreams, paranoia, euphoria, numbness, seeing things move, not in touch with reality, vomiting if taken without food, feeling high during the day, constipation | F | 15 | 1 months | 12/28/2013 | 4 | Neck Spurs | Constipation, tiredness | This medication has helped me, however if you have any substance abuse issues you should stay clear. Your body builds up a tolerance to this pretty quick, in return leaving you to crave more of the drug to get the same effect as when you started. I wouldn't take this more then 2 months due to addiction risk. | F | 39 | 5 MG 2X day | 6/27/2014 | 4 | Bursitis,arthritis ,Sacroiliac pain | Upset my stomach at the start, make sure you eat first. Eases my pain and lets me have a normal life. | I was hesitant to take opioids, but after giving myself an ulcer and Barrets Esofegus from taking OTC ibuprofen, I have found relief at last. I don't have side effects from Percocet, they're a god send for me. I have a great Dr, he listens to what I have to say, has been really patient with me. It's sad though that some people abuse Percocet just to get high, it ruins it for us that are in chronic pain. My best to all that's really suffering, take one day at a time and don't push your body, listen to it. | F | 67 | 10 months 5/325 2X day | 10/20/2016 | 4 | Sever nck, back, and rumatoid arthi | Afterawhile I began to get cold sweats, sick to my stomache, dizzy light headed, and real bad headaches | These effects didn't start till after I had taken it over ayear. | F | 70 | 10 months 0.5/with t | 1/20/2017 | 4 | Tolerate back pain for an MRI | Felt a little light headed after taking it. Had nightmares while sleeping. Felt like I had a hangover in the morning. | I ate a meal before taking the Percocet. Kept well hydrated. I do not take any kind of medications however, to get through the MRI I had to take just one to make the pain tolerable to have the procedure done. It worked for me. I don't think I would want to take this on a long term basis however, we are not all built from the same mold. | F | 62 | 1 days 5 1X day | 1/25/2017 | 4 | Degenerative Discs, Gastroparesis | Increased energy. Euphoria, constipation. Occasional vomiting. Decreased appetite. Pain analgesic. | HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. TOLERANCE DEVELOPS QUICKLY, REQUIRING MORE MEDICATION. | F | 58 | 4 months 5 mg 2X day | 2/13/2021 | 4 | Laparoscopy/ D&C post op | Head rush "high", extreme drowsiness, dizziness, shaking | I had my share of side effects from this however they weren't severe. The head rush would happen when it kicked in, and it helped me not to care about the pain. The pain relief was nice but only stayed passed out pretty much the whole time I was on it, I was constantly fighting sleep. I made sure family members monitored me on this. Overall it helped but not a fan of the drowsiness as it affected my daily activities. | F | 22 | 1 weeks 7.5 mg 4x | 6/4/2016 | 4 | Tooth Surgery | Dizziness, lightheaded, fainting, drowsy, calm | It reduced my pain and made me feel very calm. My only big problem with it is that on the first day I fainted twice. Make sure you take it on a full stomach by the way so you aren't nauseous. | F | 18 | 2 days | 7/16/2016 | 4 | spinal stenosis, severe arthritis | Constipation | Extremely effective. I wouldn't have any quality of life without it. I have severe progressive arthritis in my back, neck, hips. Degenerative disc disease, bulging disc, cervical& lumbar spurs. Peripheral neuropathy. I have been on same dose for 1 years without anything other than constipation which is manageable with miralax & plenty of water. I highly recommend taking it as prescribed. | F | 44 | 1 years 10 mg | 4/28/2015 | 3 | Shoulder surgery | I experienced hot flashes and was unable to sleep - especially when I first stopped taking Percocet. It did help with pain management, but I wouldn't wish the withdrawals on anyone. | F | 19 | 10 days 5-325 | 1/7/2015 | 3 | I have a cyst on my overy | First the medicine would make me very dizzy. Then it would make my ears feel like I was at a high altitude and this would normally last for about 30 minutes or so. My ears would pop 30 minutes later resulting in a major headache. | It's good for Making pain go away but at the same time its side effects are really uncomfortable. | F | 16 | 10 days 5MG | 2/19/2016 | 3 | foot surgery | This pain medicine gave me the most vivid lucid dreams. Also slight light headedness and a little tired but also warm. Even with half a dose. It helps with the pain but not as much as I expected such a strong medicine too. The side effects are more noticeable than the decrease in pain. Hopefully I won't need to take it for much longer. I only use it when the pain is uncomfortable enough and at small doses | F | 39 | 2 weeks 10/325 | 3/19/2016 | 3 | Pilonidal cyst pain | Hard to breathe, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, pale face | It managed to take away the pain but it felt like I had an extreme cold because I felt as though I couldn't breathe through my nose at all. Also any foul smell immediately made me nauseous. | F | 17 | 7 days | 4/14/2016 | 3 | Chronic pain Disease | Feeling that I can do anything (physically) which I could as I didn't feel my body. Mental laziness, sleepiness times, increased pain, night terrors if taken to close to bedtime, dullness. I'm sure it hurt my cognitive abilities but sharp when on the pill but confused after. Itching skin and incense sensitivity to pain. | When I was given Percocet for the first time I didn't know what I was given. For the first 2 years I used it on and off when needed. I took no more than one or two a day but with time it made more damage than help. The feeling of the body relaxed is really good as suddenly you have no pain, you can breathe, but with time it will increase my pain sensitivity and my ability to tolerate the pain. I stopped after I suffered a 2nd dgree burn on a big part of my body, and for 2 weeks I used 4 pills instead of 2 (as a single parent I had to function). I realized how easy it is to get addicted and I stopped it completely. It did took me a year before the burn when often thought about stopping, but didn't. I remember counting my pills and it made me feel like an addict. | F | 37 | 4 years 2.5 2X day | 11/14/2023 | 3 | Back pain | Worst nightmares of my life, feeling over medicated | F | 53 | 6 days 30 1X day | 2/5/2023 |
