| 3 | Post Lasik Surgery | Insomnia, mind racing, very wired | The percocets were prescribed after having laser surgery for my eye, and I have to say they worked. ( I took the generic: oxycodone and acetominophen.) My discomfort was entirely gone within a few minutes, which was enough to make me very grateful. However, I could not fall asleep that night. I had a feeling of heat, as if I had a fever. And my mind raced like crazy. I felt as if I had just drunk a pot of coffee. The flurazepam the doctor prescribed for sleep had no effect. I would not take it again, if only because insomnia really does not help if you are trying to heal. | F | 57 | 1 days 325 1X day | 5/28/2010 | 3 | broken fibula/ankle | upset stomach, paranoia, night terrors, terrifying and vivid hallucinations, panic, hearing voices | This is a good pain killer for severe pain but I suffered extreme psychological side effects. I will not take this medication again. | F | 22 | 3 weeks 5/325 2X day | 8/24/2010 | 3 | Four impacted wisdom teeth removed | slight but minimal nausea, drowsiness, itching, lots of itching | percocet didn't help, i would have preferred vicodine. caused lots of itching, taking allergy meds helped a bit. minimally helped with the pain, wish i had a higher dose. slept alot, but woke up at least once every hour so didnt get a lot of rest. may work fo other but didnt work for me. | F | 20 | 6 days 325mg 1X AN | 8/25/2010 | 3 | Post surgical pain | Slightly emotional. Worst side effect is the nightmares. I'm up right now because I'm afraid to go back to sleep. | Decent painkiller during the day but not as effective at night. | F | 52 | 4 days Not sure 6X day | 3/19/2010 | 3 | Pain from duodenal ulcer | Percocet worked great for the pain I was experiencing from a duodenal ulcer... at least in the beginning. I began taking them after receiving the prescription from an ER doctor. Physical dependence occurred quickly. At first I was taking 1 or 2 a day, as needed for pain and made my way up to 3 a day, because I had to have them. After a week and a half, I stopped taking them once I realized I didn't need them as much as I thought I did. BIG MISTAKE. After 36 hours without a pill, I noticed how aggressive I was feeling, along with how emotional and defensive I was becoming. I began taking one a day again at bedtime so I could taper myself off of them... and then I started having nightmares. At first, they weren't really nightmares as much as they were unpleasant dreams. They became increasingly more vivid every night... and this morning around 1 am, I took a percoset for legitimate pain that I was having. I woke up at 5:30 am, feeling as though I was dying. I had a nightmare that my dece | Very addictive, physical dependence can occur in as little as a week. | F | 24 | 18 days 7.5/325 1X day | 3/24/2011 | 3 | Tonsillectomy | Percocet gives me horrible nightmares. At first I didn't know if it was this medication until I looked it up and saw that many people had the same side effect. It also made my face itch and made me very delirious. | It works fine for awhile but not something I enjoy taking. | F | 24 | 14 days 10 mg 3X day | 11/16/2011 | 3 | Knee surgery | It helped alot with the pain after my surgery, I wouldn't have been able to sleep without screaming in pain without it. I liked the fact it knocked me right out, I thought I would sleep my recovery process away and heal faster. It made me extremely itchy around my face and arms, dry mouth, nightmares, SEVERLY constipated, yet the euphoria it provided i didn't mind the negative side effects. I noticed that within a week instead of putting me to sleep it had me wired like I was on cocaine, full of energy and speaking non stop. I took more than I was prescribed, which I got severly nauseous and vomitted then passed out. Before I knew it the doctor said I was all better and he gradually decreased my dose to wean me off. Only problem was, I didn't want to be weaned off. I tried lying that i was still in too much pain, but my surgery was so minor he declined giving me any narcotic pain medications. I took more than prescribed, and eventually I would run out. I never in my wildest dreams thou | Only take if you ABSOLUTELY need it!!! Don't take more than the recommended dose, and if u feel euphoria on it thats the first sign your body is getting hooked. And trust me that feeling doesn't last too long. You don't want to end up like I did, its mortifying, embarrassing and so easily prevented. | F | 27 | 3 months 10/325 2X day | 10/2/2011 | 3 | 4 wisdom teeth extraction | itching, restless sleep, nausea on the 2nd day | works fast to stop severe pain but I could not stay awake for longer than a half hour even if i tried. I Once i did fall asleep I kept waking up ever two hours or so, did not feel well rested. would have preferred to take something else that would have allowed me to sleep soundly for longer hours | F | 21 | 5 days 10/325MG 5X day | 11/26/2011 | 3 | Fibromyalgia, 2Back Surgery, Lupus | I've been taking percocet on and off for 17 months now and I recommend that if you've had any substance abuse of any kind in the past, this is NOT the medication for you! For first time users there are alot of downfalls to this medication if you do not take as prescribed. ATTENTION!!!! This drug can make you EXTREMELY SICK TO YOUR STOMACH WHETHER YOU TAKE IT WITH FOOD OR NOT! When the medication first kicks in, you will experience a very high-euphoric feeling. An hour later you will be puking your guts out!!!!! | In addition they are highly addictive, that is why I only take them when I absolutely needed to! My prescription calls for me to take it 4x a day, but my doctor prescribes me 90 pills and they last me 4 months. Please be responsible!! This medication also causes you to itch terribly..like a crack head..lol..when the meds wear off you can be extremely irritable and easily angered, and experience a severe migrane. This is your body(not mind) reminding you that you need to replenish the drug level in your blood stream. Thus meaning the onset of physical addiction. And some fail to realize that this is where addiction begins...PHYSICALLY and you dont even understand! Good Luck and please use carefully! | F | 24 | 17 months 5/325 4X day | 2/14/2012 | 3 | Heart surgery | Horrible nightmares. Very vivid dreams. | F | 19 | 4 days 1 or 2 tab | 8/19/2012 | 3 | Heart Surgery Pain | Dizziness; numbness; pins & needles in hands, feet, and face; sadness; anxiety; horrible nightmares; head rush; just general creepy weird feelings throughout my body, almost like I was disconnected from myself (none of these are normal for me at all.) | This med did help control my pain and made me drowsy within 15 minutes after taking it. I would awaken from nightmares, but would go right back to sleep. The negative side effects were scary and uncomfortable for me since I have never experienced those feelings before. I didn't like the out of control feelings of anxiety, sadness, weird sensations, etc. The nightmares were extremely scary to me. It took me a while to figure out that it was the Percocet causing these side effects, and when I quit taking it, all of the side effects went away within a day. I tried taking it one more time, and the side effects came right back. Bottom line, if it was the only thing that would control my pain, I would consider taking it again, but only for a VERY short time! I would definitely try another pain killer before taking this again. | F | 51 | 10 days 5-325 1X day | 5/11/2012 | 3 | Endoscopic Total Thyroidectomy | Very vivid dreams/nightmares, constipation, nausea, dizziness | F | 22 | 7 days | 7/25/2012 | 3 | back/neck pain | Severe itches. Nausea. Hot flashes and ringing of the ears. | F | 32 | 3 weeks 5mg | 6/7/2012 | 3 | arthroscopic surgery | itchiness | I've taken this twice now, both times I have experienced diffuse itchiness. Pain relief is moderate, but not worth the itch in my opinion | F | 43 | 2 days | 6/9/2006 | 3 | Tooth Extraction | SEVERE CONSTIPATION! Itching all over...made me tired but not enough to fall asleep...the paid came back within 2-3 hours but wouldn't dare take it until at least six hours later...again it will make you SEVERELY CONSTIPATED! A week after I stopped taking them I had the worst stomach pain in live...and didn't notice until that day that I haven't had any bowl movement for the past 3 days...so I took a Citroma (laxative) I have 3 or 4 bowl movement of water and water only...but the pain subsided a little...then a few days later the pain came back and I had to go to the hospital...I was given a enema and laxative and I still haven't had an appropriate bowl movement! I'm currently taking Miralax hopefully everything goes well... Definitely wouldn't use it again... | F | 24 | 6 days 5mg/325mg | 1/17/2012 | 3 | Ear Infections | Dizziness, shaky, extremely drowsy (ended up falling asleep) nausea, unable to think straight, loopy | F | 20 | 3 weeks 5-325 MG | 9/3/2012 | 2 | breast implant replacement | Dizziness and horrible headaches 24 hours a day. Nausea any time I tried to get up or eat/drink anything. Itchiness all over. Muffled hearing, constipation, WEIRD dreams, and blurred vision. | I would have much rather dealt with the pain from surgery than the side effects from Percocet. Aweful experience trying to 'come off' the drug even though I was only taking one every 5 hours, and then 1/2 of one on the fourth day. | F | 20 | 4 days | 5/9/2006 | 2 | Friend gave them to me for pain | Nausea, hot flashes/sweating, vomiting, anxiety, insommnia | F | 20 | 3 days | 12/1/2005 | 2 | Wisdom Teeth Extraction | Constipation, drowsiness, increased irritability, hearing sensitivity, shortened attention span, relaxation - somewhat euphoric. | I did not enjoy taking percocet. It is necessary for the pain, but it only lasts 2.5-3 hours before I have to take supplemental ibuprofen. Every time I take it, I fall asleep, lose ability to have conversation or pay attention to what I'm doing. Makes me very irritable and I found that as the usage days increased, the effectiveness of the dose would shorten and I would need more frequent pain relief supplements. Not sure if this is sign of dependence or related to my healing process. | F | 20 | 1 weeks 5mg 325mg 3X day | 7/9/2012 | 2 | Pilonidal Cyst Excision | Constipation only, no discomfort from it, just a lack of bowel movements | Did not relieve ANY pain, even after a double dose (as directed by my surgeon). I still had severe pain the ENTIRE time I was healing from this surgery. Was not prescribed anything in its place. I will never take this again. | F | 19 | 3 weeks 20 mg 1X AN | 1/19/2012 |
