| 3 | Severe pain following a D&C surgery | Woke up with a TERRIBLE migraine after 2nd night of being on drug (only 5MG a day). Mood swings, bad dreams, nausea, out of body experience, spinning room, drowsy ALL day long. I've been laying in bed all day since i was on Morphine in the ER for severe pain, i have no energy since using drug since Sunday. Drug effect feels wonderful when consumed in early evening, however when consume in early morning i feel like i'm having a bad hangover. While laying down i will dose off then wake up abruptly as if i'm having sleep apnea. When drug wears off pain is much worse and i'm suffering from pain i didn't suffer from prior to using this drug such as leg pain. Pain keeps coming back at the same time like clock work. MUST drink plenty of water as constipation will occur. I'm not very happy with this drug, i can only imagine if i had been consuming a larger dose, yikes. | F | 26 | 3 days | 4/19/2005 | 3 | abdominal myomectomy | Good for daytime use because they gave me energy and dulled the pain, but at night I felt anxious and couldn't sleep. I would fall asleep and abruptly wake up in the middle of a weird dream and not know if I was asleep or awake. It would take me a long time to fall asleep again. I would just get up and wait for the side effects to pass before going back to sleep because it was such a creepy feeling. I had a buzzing sound in my ears and was acutely sensitive to noise. It also upset my stomach and I would wake up feeling nauseous. It also caused constipation--not good after abdominal surgery. | Worked well for the pain but didn't help me sleep, which is what I need to do in order to heal. It helps to take fiber and stool softeners. | F | 38 | 3 days | 7/23/2007 | 3 | pain after hysterectomy | Percocet made me very sleepy and when I took it around bedtime, was helpful with the pain. But I felt groggy the next morning and it took awhile to shake off that hungover feeling. | F | 52 | 3 days | 7/24/2007 | 3 | cramping from miscarriage | anxiety, mood swings, constipation, foggy thinking, hungover feeling the following day | Taking 1 pill (5-325) every 6 hours helped relieve the cramping, especially after the first day, but each time it took at least 30 minutes to kick in. Unless the pain was really severe, the side effects of anxiety, mood swings and near-paranoia made the medication not worth it-- especially when these side effects lasted into the day after taking the percocet. | F | 38 | 6 days | 7/8/2007 | 3 | breast reduction surgery | nausea, very itchy, racing heart, anxiety, flashing lights(almost hallucinogenic?), weird dreams, tiredness | it did help the pain but the side effects weren't worth it. I'd rather have the pain. | F | 35 | 7 days | 6/26/2007 | 3 | Transverse Fracture of T12 ,L1-5 | nausea,headaches,insomnia,constipation,irritable,moody,sexual dysfunction,weird dreams, loss of appetite,itching,brain fur | when i was first prescribed the perc's (7.5's) it was in conjuntion with morphine, motrin and flexril. it worked well for a couple of weeks. i was dopey beyond all belief but i could sleep for 5-6 hours and could rest without a huge burden of pain. went off the morphine within a week- percs still worked but that first week without morphine was tough, had to take one during the night to sleep. still tolerable until i went off the flexril and motrin. the nausea was terrible during the whole time, to date i've lost 15 lbs over it. i cant eat nor do i want to- and im on compleate bed rest, 6 weeks later and i can barely walk to the potty unaided. 9 out of 10 times i use a walker. now that im off everything but the perc's its horrible, they have more or less stopped working for the pain, im always sick to my stomache, i cant sleep- i havent slept for more than 3 hours at a time in over a week. i feel like im dying and i only take 1-2 a day. i dont feel addicted, i miss and extend my doses a | F | 24 | 6 weeks | 7/28/2007 | 3 | miscarriage, ovarian laparoscopy | Stressful dreams, troubled sleep, (discovered at the end of the semester I had registered for a class I had never attended and now had to take the final -- I had this dream five nights running). I find it makes me both groggy and anxious. | Percocet was great for miscarriage pain. That and the heating pad allowed me to miscarry at home (which I prefered after a previous D&C). However for really bad laparoscopic shoulder pain it was not enough pain relief to sleep, and after four days of the maximum dose (600 mg Ibuprofen/6 hours + 2 5/325 tables every four hours) and three days of about half that, I am irritable, anxious, having stress dreams, upset stomach. Since I was on high doses for the first few days I have the odd effect of feeling worse (less happy and more injured where the surgery was) now then I did just after surgery, which is discouraging. | F | 36 | 7 days | 5/23/2007 | 3 | sciatic nerve pain | Nausea-had to take half a pill then the other half about 30 minutes later. No matter what the dose the ending result was a dullness of the nerve pain but a major headache. Yesterdays dose (1 pill) resulted in the worst migraine of my life. No more percocet for me. | This medication made it very hard to stay awake (which was a problem since I was at work at the time). | F | 50 | 3 weeks | 5/15/2007 | 3 | Laminectomy Discectomy Surgery | The only real side affect I've experienced is constipation...and a little bit of lightheadedness. | For me it does not get rid of the pain entirely. It more or less takes the edge off. I had surgery in the L5-S1 region and was given this for home recovery. It does help me take a good nap in the afternoon and for the most part I sleep ok at night. I wish it did a little bit better getting rid of the pain but I know surgery doesnt always make you pain free. | F | 26 | 4 days | 2/19/2007 | 3 | D & C Surgery | Only took the medication at night before going to bed. Helped me to sleep, but caused severe constipation such that it added to my cramping from the D & C and sometimes made the pain unbearable. Also, left me with headaches every morning after taking the medicine. I am now on my 6th day of taking it and have a severe migraine today. If suggested to take this medication again, I will decline; especially after a D & C due to the additional cramping from constipation. | F | 28 | 6 days | 10/28/2005 | 3 | Gallbladder surgery | Extreme itching - and I mean everywhere! I could tolerate between the toes and the feet, but the vaginal/anal area were torture and I totally scratched myself raw. I also had insomnia. | Despite the itching, the pain did go away with this medication. | F | 39 | 6 days | 5/30/2006 | 3 | wisdom teeth | vomiting, crying easily, and feeling in love with everyone. it took the pain away though. | F | 16 | | 10/10/2007 | 3 | Migraine | This is a "rescue" med I keep on hand as a last resort before going to the ER. Unfortunately, it doesn't help most of the time, but I'm out of options. I take it at bedtime, and it usually pervents me from getting any sleep- which makes my headache worse the next day. I also feel crappy the next day- dizzy, nauseous, upset tummy- exhausted, etc. | This stuff just doesn't work for me. =( | F | 33 | 3 years | 10/10/2007 | 3 | Orthoscopic rotator cuff surgery | Itching after two days on it, but tolerable.Did relieve the pain first two days, but had to combine with 4 Advil to do the trick. Put me to sleep, BUT horrible, vivid, scary dreams. About a week after surgery, took one two nights in a row; second night wook up with WORST headache of my life...and I used to get migraines! Goodbye-it's flushed. Will not take again! Darvocette or Darvon works much better for the med pain in was in. My doc used a great nerve block PRE surgery to numb my shoulder/army for about 30 hours, which was odd but no pain at all! Also he used a "pain buster" pump that was inserted at end of surgery-a lidocan drip that continued for 48hours. At that point, I was mostly just on Advilfor mild pain when I overued my right hand. BEWARE THE HEADACHE!!!! NOTHING helps it!!! (except time...It was 48 hours before I felt like getting up again). | Only took drug second day after surgery, and a few times that weekend, twice 2nd week(that's when Headached kicked in). | F | 53 | 10 days | 10/7/2007 | 3 | 10 spinal cord fractures | extreme itchiness over entire body (if taking high doses) smaller doses like 3 5mg a day dont seem to be so bad but im on 6 10mg a day for break-through pain. | Helps muscle pain but not bone pain so much. | F | 21 | 4 years | 3/16/2004 | 3 | post wisdom teeth extraction | extreme nausea, vomiting, crazy dreams | Percocet worked much better than vicadin. Do not take on an empty stomach. it is also highly addictive. | F | 27 | 3 days | 10/25/2003 | 3 | oral surgery | confusion and disorientation | this stuff made me sleep, I'm talking GOOD NIGHT NURSE!! The pain was gone but only because I was sleeping so much, as soon as I would wake the pain would return. They say it's addictive but I was happy to get off of this drug so I could function like a normal human being. | F | 23 | 2 weeks | 10/30/2003 | 3 | Chronic Pain | Headache, ITCHINESS, water retention.....especailly to the face, moodiness, trouble sleeping, seems to release hystamine; allergies, watery eyes, and again ITCHINESS. | Percocet is not a good medication to be on long term for chronic pain. It loses it's effectiveness (tolerance) too quick. After a few days you question "did I miss a dose? I'm in pain!" It also made me moody and cranky. I did not want to socialize or even answer the phone! (I am normally out going =) It totally deminishes any sex drive. I felt "spaced out" and definately not ephoric. | F | 39 | 90 days | 7/16/2008 | 3 | herniated thoracic disks (three) | it's been a pretty effective drug however, I need so much per day that I am afraid of what might be going on with my poor liver and kidneys. also, I noticed that you get used to the dosage very quickly and quite a few doctors aren't keen on the new percocet 10's that they have come out with and I would like to try them. Also, have trouble going to sleep at night, almost as if I am energized by the percocet. | F | 45 | 2 years | 7/6/2004 | 3 | menstrual cramps | hot flash feeling all over my skin; nausea, extreme 'high' | F | 40 | 2 days | 12/23/2004 |
