| 2 | wisdom teeth extraction | at first helped with pain received after anasthesia wore off from extraction of all 4 of my wisdom teeth, helped me relax and let me sleep for a few hours. lightheaded about one hour after taking a pill, and dizzy. after the second dosage, started feeling itchy but thought nothing of it. after 24 hrs in was feeling itchy all over my body (head to toe and in between all crevices of the body). pain has gone down a bit and currently also taking ibuprofen 600MG for the inflammation. would rather have some pain than all of this uncomfortable itching. also getting winded by climbing up a flight of stairs.. | helped the very first time but caused so much discomfort afterwards. going to stop taking this and continue with ibuprofen instead (and telling my doc about this). | F | 25 | 2 days 5-325MG 4X day | 8/18/2011 | 2 | Extreme pain in shoulder | Extreme fatigue! | I have been on Vicodin for about 2yrs for degenerative disk disease in my lower back. When my shoulder pain started, the vicodin seemed to have become tolerant to my body. My doctor sugggested to "upgrade" me to Percocet. After the first pill, I felt NO pain relief after one hour. Took the second pill, no relief again. The next morning, At 6am, I took 2 knowing 1 wouldn't do anything for pain. After 1/2 hour, I found myself trying desperately to keep my eyes open. It was like I need sleep, but go a good night sleep the night before. I waited 7 hours and took 1-1/2 pills for the next dose. Not even 15 minutes later, I had no choice but to go to bed and sleep. Waited 7 hours again and took 1 pill. Same darn thing! I could not keep myself awake! No euphoric feeling, no good feeling like I get from the vicodins, NOTHING. The only good thing was there was no pain in my arm or shoulder. The next morning, I decided to take only 1 pill at 6am and see what would happen. I thought if I took 1 pill every 4 hours it would spread out and I wouldn't get so darn sleepy. Again, 1/2 hour later, I felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open and the pain did NOT go away. I called my doctor and explained all this and they were stumped? WTF? They said wait until it wears off and go back on vicodin. Well, now the Vicodins, do absolutetly NOTHING for pain at all. Anyone else have this same experience and what did you do? | F | 41 | 1 days 7.5mg/500 4X day | 2/18/2011 | 2 | gallbladder removal pain | My face broke out completely in whiteheads. I'm not talking one or two, I mean my entire face is covered in the damn things. The pain normally fades in 5-10 minutes, but it's not worth it. I still had pain in my belly and shoulder, so it didn't do much. They make me super nauseous and itchy, as well. | F | 21 | 4 days 5mg 10X day | 9/14/2011 | 2 | fractured vertebra | shaky, super itchy, and can't sleep at all. | I'd rather deal with my pain then take this. | F | 21 | 1 days 5-325 4X day | 4/15/2010 | 2 | Gallstones | Headaches, inability to focus, nauseated | For the first few attacks, it took the pain away. Now, it doesn't. Plus I can't deal with feeling like I'm going to be sick, and the constant but mild headache. | F | 23 | 2 months 325 2X day | 4/29/2010 | 2 | back pain | sedation, severe nausea | I ended up taking this medication only once due to the incapacitating nausea I experienced about and hour after I took it. It did take the edge off my back pain (a muscle pull/strain), but the nausea was so severe that I could not eat or drink (even water) for hours afterward. It's been almost 24 hours since I took one 5mg pill and I still feel a bit queasy. It's back to the ibuprofen for me... | F | 39 | 1 days 5 mg 1X day | 7/18/2010 | 2 | bad back | none, this medicine did nothing for me, not even any side effects. | was put on percocet after 5 yrs on ES Vicodin. To me, the vicodin worked 100% better than the percs. I'm also on duragesic 100mcg patches, have been on this dosage ofr 5yrs, on the patches period for almost 7yrs. Currently, my PM doctor has me on morphine 30mg IR, and that to isn't touching my pain. Am calling today to see if I could get back on the Vicodin or Lortab 10 again. They worked so much better at easing my pain, and are so much cheaper. | F | 38 | 4 months | 10/13/2008 | 2 | C-section | Hideous nightmares, drowsiness, followed by severe anxiety and extreme insomnia after stopping | Took the drug for only 5 days--had full-blown withdrawal! Will NEVER take it again. But I am fine with Vicodin or codeine. | F | 28 | 5 days | 9/10/2004 | 2 | Back pain, wisdom teeth operation | Vomiting | If you're sensitive to this medication you probably can't take anything with coedine in it. Its a great pain killer, I just can't take it. I tried it off and on (5 mg), even with phenergan, the nausea just wasn't worth the benefit of its properties. | F | 21 | 10 days | 8/13/2002 | 2 | After gallbladder surgery | Percocet made me itch all over. I could not tollerate the itching long enough to sleep. | I was told by my pharmacist that since percocet and lortab make me itch that I can't take vicodin, percodan, darvocet, tylenol w/codeine, etc. | F | 28 | 2 days | 4/27/2003 | 2 | Fibromyalgia/Migraines | stoned, difficulty voiding bladder; constipation; buzzing in ears. | Took 1 to 2 hours to work, if it worked at all. This drug seemed to completely lose its potency with me after only 3 days, so I stopped taking it. | F | 27 | 3 days | 4/30/2003 | 2 | Chronic Back Pain | I found that Percocet did not help my pain! Sometimes I would try 2 at a time and still felt no relief. It is also a constipating drug and I find I cannot sleep well on it. So, with long-term chronic pain this should not be the drug of choice since it didn't help me and I have always felt that you shouldn't put a drug in your systom if it will not do anything for you. Percocet should not be perscribed to those with chronic pain but it may work for those with acute pain. | Doctors should know bettter than to perscribe Percocet to those with chronic pain, This drug does not help to reduce pain as well as other pain killers I have tried. And if you have told your Doctor that Percocet does not touch your pain do not keep letting the Doctor perscibee it because he feels it should be doing the trick. Who feels your pain, you or the Doctor? | F | 43 | 10 months | 1/6/2007 | 2 | Abdominal surgery | Heartburn; uncontrolled sleepyness; itchiness; did not work immediately. | F | 40 | 3 days | 7/16/2006 | 2 | c-section | Dry mouth. Horrible, weird dreams. Feeling "tranced out." I'm bi-polar, so bad dreams and lack of sleep are very bad for managing my condition, especially after just having a baby. I switched to prescription-strength ibuprofen, which is working fine at 3x a day. | Do not recommend for nursing and/or bi-polar patients. | F | 32 | 4 days | 3/5/2007 | 2 | Gallbladder pain/Dental work | Itchiness all over, insomnia | I thought taking the drug before sleeping would knock me out but it did the opposite and kept me awake all night. The itchiness was so bad I was convinced my dog had contracted fleas and given them to me, and then I dreamt about having lice. I itched EVERYWHERE--in my ears, on my head, in my armpits, between my toes. It was awful! | F | 23 | 2 days | 5/11/2005 | 2 | ankle sprain (grade 2 or 3) | very talkative, felt "drunk" (slight dizziness/imbalance), mood changes (crying for no reason), slight drowsiness | This was given to me mainly for night time since it was extremely hard to get comfortable and I would wake up from the pain if I moved. I had significant bruising from the sprain going from below my ankle to about a 1/3 the way up my leg/calf. I had additional bruising from the actual fall elsewhere too. The side effects of the percocet did not offset the benefits of this pain killer. It caused me to cry for no reason (think television pregnancy mood swings) and made me extremely talkative. Drowsiness wasn't an issue since I wanted it for sleep but it only seemed to affect me if I purposely tried to sleep. | F | 29 | 5 days | 11/8/2008 | 2 | cervical herniations C-2 thru C-6 | first night no side effects, 1 pill, 2nd day better but wore off, only took a half to go to sleep. 3rd day AM itching, nausea, having trouble focusing, anxiety, hearing impaired, and feel like I am speeding, I want it to wear off now. | I can't wait until it wears off at the present, I think Vicodan is better, I just do not like these side effects. Losing concentration. Feeling break through pain now after third day, restless.I do not want to continue but it is very expensive. I am in the cold weather and had chronic pain down neck and shoulder! I should have known better than to try and take this drug! I would rather start with combination of a lower strength drug than not to be able to control it! the jury is still out! You have to research before taking any drug and effects people different due to emotional conditions I believe. I read that it has addictive behaviors, not good but any drug has cause for psychological addiction. only get a few days worth and try different meds before getting quantity. Amen! | F | 52 | 3 days | 12/21/2008 | 2 | Ablasion surgery | Itching all over that kept me awake all night. | F | 42 | 1 days | 1/7/2009 | 2 | Neck surgery, muscle aches/pains | ITCHING - varied from mild to severe. First couple pills, experienced extreme drowsiness, dizziness, and kind of a "f it all" attitude. After getting used to it, it can be very relaxing and calming... but still very itchy. | Not very effective at the pain relieving. Vicodin doesn't work for me, so my doc said we'd try this (something stronger). I wouldn't take it again, the side effects outweigh the little good that it does to help pain. | F | 19 | 1 months | 6/4/2009 | 2 | Severe Abdominal Pain | Dizziness, Drowsiness, Nausea, Vomiting, Euphoria | It only helped with medium level pain (4-6), did not get rid of severe pain. With all of my side effects I would debate whether to take it at all. | F | 19 | 3 weeks | 5/1/2009 |
