 2  4 wisdom teeth surgically removed I got the hiccups. I also got extremely dizzy, to the point where I had to be supervised at all times. I was unable to make sound decisions. I also slurred my speech and didn't make much sense with what I was saying. My vision was blurred. It also only held the pain off for an hour and a half. F 17 4 weeks

 2  Back pain sciatica My Dr prescribed this for severe sciatica pain and the first time I took one pill it made me dizzy, nauseous , short of breath and sleepy but did take the pain away .I didn't take it for several days then tried again and this time it made me extremely itchy all over but still does nothing for the pain . The itchiness lasted for about 6 hours with no pain relief at all . Had to take Benadryl to relieve the itch . F 63 7 days

 2  Post surgery Extreme itching and constipation. The first dose of percocet was okay...until it was time to take the next dose. I experienced itching in eyebrows, vaginal and buttocks, then the itch moved to my ankles, and finally to my incisions. It was severe and miserable. I had to take two benadryl capsules to counteracts the reaction. While percocet relieved me of pain, the itching was worse. I felt like I was going crazy and was going to scratch off my skin.

 1  widespread arthritis-pain managemen I've been taking Percocet for 5 years. I have had major headaches and terrible moodiness the past 3 years. Affects your mood and if you suffer from headaches and mild depression it will male you much worst. I highly recommend taking non-narcotic pain meds. I am in rhe process of withdrawal. I have never abused, taking only prescribed amount but still became dependant. F 63 5 years

 1  Total hip replacement post surgery I have migraine headaches and after taking this drug for hip pain for 2 days I noticed I was getting bad headaches everyday, all day. I was having to take my migraine medication everyday and this is unusual for me. Recently I woke up with one of the worst migraines I have ever had. I did some reading about Percocet and discovered that it can cause worsening headaches in migraine sufferers so is not recommended. Apparently it can increase intracranial pressure. One of the listed side effects is headache. I actually did not find the hip pain relief effect to last more than 2 hours. I would not recommend this drug due to the headache side effect and for the short acting analgesic effect. F 58 7 days

 1  joint pain associated with a fall Itchy beyond belief, not only itchy but I developed a visible rash on my arms.Sleepiness to the point of sleeping 18 hours in a day. Abdominal cramps.Moodiness,depression,crankiness,vivid dreams. why would anyone WANT to take this stuff? I did not feel any sense of euphoria at all, only brain dead!! I stopped taking it after two days and swear to never take it again unless,I'm experiencing a 10 on scale of 1-10 of pain! It did get rid of the pain, only because it knocked me out! only take this if there is no alternative pain relief medication which works for you.TRY something else first. Do not continue to take it, only take it absolutely as long as you need it.Not good for chronic pain.There are so many alternative pain relief medications that work well and do not leave you brain dead, depressed,moody, itching, and cramped up!

 1  pain from wisdom teeth extraction chest pain, anxiety, throat swelling, fatigue, confusion, nausea, shortness of breath This drug, in my opinion, is TERRIBLE. I woke up at 4am with severe pain and took 1/2 of the prescribed dosage. Within 30 minutes, I could tell I made a huge mistake. I wanted the medication out of me. I considered forcing myself to vomit in effort to expell any remaining medication. It was as if I was having a bad trip. It gave me anxiety at first. Then after a couple hours I started having chest pain, shortness of breath and swelling of the throat. That lasted pretty much all day. It is now 6pm and I'm still feeling nauseous and the shortness of breath. In addition, I now feel very fatigued and confused. I can't believe I am having this reaction after taking 1/2 of a pill. I have taken vicodin and tylenol and never experienced any of these symptoms. I probably should have gone to the emergency room. F 27 1 days

 1  pain after surgery Emergency surgery, detached retina (in hospital overnight), age 54, at parents home next night, dr. gave percocet; very vivid, frightening hallucinations, so much that I finally MADE myself get up, stay up, drink water rest of night until it wore off. Pain was bad but NOTHING like nightmares! 14 more eye operations (other retina also detached, now high partial legally blind) & doctors know not to give me percocet! F 65 1 times

 1  Wisdom teeh It was awful. First you are constantly sleepy so you can do much but sleep on it. Then the nausea comes and never leave. I took half a pill at 9pm because the pain was unbareable and then the other half at past midnight. A hojr later I was on the floor shaking and sweating while my heartbeat went nuts and I thought for sure I was overdosing. The pain is back and I cannot fall asleep thanks to it. F 23 2 days

 1  post-op surgery pain Medicine didn't help with the pain. Extremly vivid, horrible nightmares. Headaches. Taken this medication two different times for two different surgeries. It barely touched the pain both times. My OB/GYN maxed out the meds and I was still in horrendous pain. On top of that, both times I've taken it I've had horrible, scary nightmares and woke up with a bad headache. I won't take it again. F 38 2 days

 1  herniated disc/pinched sacral nerve 1st pill ok but did not seem to stop pain; second pill 4 hrs later helped pain but only when nausea set in; 3rd pill, 4 hrs later produced vomiting after 2 hrs of feeling horribly nauseated and did not even seem to help much with pain. I'm done with it. I knew that narcotics could make me queasy, but nothing like this. I would say that drinking beer for the pain was about as effective and did not carry the side effect of nausea and vomiting. Length of time taking this drug was 12 hours. F 42 1 days
