 3  c-section & tubal ligation surgery SEVERE, vivid night terrors. Constipation. The medication works well for the post surgery pain. (It works better than the vicoden or ibuprofen) I used Percocet after my last surgery with no problems. This time I am having horrible nightmares. The dreams seem to be more intense if I go to sleep exhausted. Last night the nightmare was so intense that I will not use this medication again. I'd rather be in pain. F 42

 3  extruded L5/S1 disc w/ fragment severe itchiness, jittery, talkative I was on 10/325 for 2 months as needed. At first I hadn't associated the rash with the percs, but then I began to notice it would only start after I took the med. The pain was relieved but the itching would keep me up all night. As soon as I stopped taking them , the rash disappeared. F 28 3 months

 3  Relief from Paronychia Pressure NAUSEA. Hot flash, dizziness. Made me very outgoing though? It blocked the pain fine, but about 30 minutes after taking it I felt like I was having a heart palpitation -- got really warm and my heart felt "heavy" and got wicked dizzy. Then I got nauseous which seemed absolutely unbearable. I had taken two pills the first time at the hospital so I figured for my next dose, I'd just take one. Same amount of side effects. It worked... but it kinda sucked. F 19 2 days

 3  Post-Surgery Kept me awake at night, slight dehydration. Percocet was great at addressing the pain, although I found that 2 Aleve helped almost as much - and didn't interfere with my sleep like the Percocet. F 44 2 days

 3  cholestystectomy Lightheaded, Dizzy, "Spacey/Loopy" Feeling, ITCHING, nausea, nightmares, groggy, unable to concentrate. Percocet took away some of the pain that I felt post-op, but I think the reason that it helped me at all is because it pretty much knocked me out. I am only taking one tab every four hours as needed. The first two days that I was taking it I had no side effects other than being tired, but after the third day I developed extreme itching and started having vivid nightmares. F 27 7 days

 3  severe back pain (immobile) sleepy, head spins, cloudy to the point of having to lie my head on my desk to regain my thoughts. Initially, while in the worst pain, it was perfect. It helped me through the bad spot. I couldn't continue to take it as prescribed, 10mg every 4 hours, I couldn't function. I bought a splitter and began to split them in half. That worked for a few days, not for long. I stopped taking them altogether, for a few weeks. But the pain was more than I could bear, at times. I split them yet again and took a quarter of a dose. They still made me feel cloudy and my head spun, although they didn't make me sleepy at that dose. I stopped them again. I haven't had anything in over a week but I can tell I need something for the pain. I will go back to my doc and tell him I don't want anything that strong. I don't want to be in pain but I want a life more than lying in bed all the time. F 54 2 months

 3  Wisdom tooth (4) extraction Itchiness beyond belief. Nausea. Any type of audible noise (like the phone ringing for example) seemed to be amplified 10 fold. Light headedness. Over all loopy feeling. Anxiety (only after the a couple of days taking it). I was prescribed Percocet as well as Motrin 600 after the extraction of my wisdom teeth. I was only taking the Motrin at first. Then I developed dry sockets five days after my extraction and the pain was unbearable. At that point, the Motrin did not seem to be doing anything, so I tried the Percocet. Wow. I didn't know which was worse, the pain from my teeth or the crazy side effects that the Percocet gave me. It was awful. They were prescribed to be taken once every 4-6 hours, so I figured that I would continue at least for a couple of days, to see if I could acclimate myself to it. It didn't happen. I continued to feel loopy and nauseous. When I say nauseous, I mean to the point where I had to just go to sleep in order for the medication to wear off. Then it seemed as if every noise was magnified 100 decibels. For example the ringing of a telephone, or a car honking its horn, even the TV volume had to be turned down extremely low. Then I started getting the anxious feeli F 28 4 days

 3  Post surgery pain Percocet gave me effective pain relief, gave me energy, was talkative, relaxed..at first. Now I am irritable, tired, constipated have no energy and the perscribed dose doesnt work anyore. I have to take them twice as often. Not to mention they are extremely addicting. I had to take myself off them for a while and I was so itchy, anxious, depressed, had twiching nerves, could not sleep. It was a horrible feeling. I recently had to start taking them again and I am up to between 10-12 doses a day. I am dreading trying to get off of them again Percocet is EXTREMELY addicting because it gives many a false sense of well being for a while, and it works for the pain. After prolonged use you can experience sever constipation. Please be careful and only take them as needed! F 22 11 months

 3  R. A. When I first stated taking this I experienced terrible itching all over my body and a little constipation (which is easily taken care of). But it gave me the most terrible, sickening migraines which were worse than the pain from the R.A. I was taking it for! Although, it did help ease the pain. If it weren't for the migraines, the itching was only occassionaly and the constipation I controlled with diet. This was heaven sent as a pain reliver for me. I didn't need it every day and it did not become habit forming. But I also take 75 mg/daily of Topomax for migraines! I cannot take hydrocodone because of the same thing: migraines. F 50 6 weeks

 3  pain after c-section, headaches nausea, vomiting, numbness, sleepyness, tingling in hands it took away my pain, i couldnt get out of bed without it. However, i would vomit after the 2nd dose of the day. made me loopy and lightheaded, my hands tingled and the rest of me was completely numb. It did the job, but not my favorite. Was a bit of overkill of my tension headaches, they prescribed me Fioricet for those after and it works much better. F 31 1 years

 3  C-Section No side effects until the third day of use. On third day of use I was completely 'out-of-it' and became unable to speak when spoken to or control arm and leg movements. After laying down for several hours, watched by my nurse and husband the effects lessened. I lowered my dose to 1 pill every 6 hours, but again woke up the next night with same side effects. It is like the medication would build up over a period of time and then leave me 'stoned' (as my doctor put it). Also experienced VERY vivid and violent dreams during the time I took this medication. I will likely not use this medication in the future. F 25 6 days
