| 5 | back pain | M | 1 years | 12/29/2004 | 5 | Mostly lower back pain, some Abd. | lightheadedness, constipation, itchiness. | I've been to the hospital 3 times in the last 4 days. The ER had to give me 4 injections IV of morphine to touch the pain. I was initially given generic vicodin and that didn't help that much. I had to go back for an urgent care visit and hyperventilated from pain while there. I don't recomment that experience to your worse enemy! Had I know ahead of time what hyperventilation does, I would have been much better off. The generic percocet is the first rx they gave me that is really helping and I can deal with the side effects since it's significanltly reducing the pain. Although the constipation episode was unpleasant, I'll spare everyone the details. Be thankful, very thankful! This is my first time taking percocet. I'm thankful for it big time. | M | 39 | 2 days | 1/16/2005 | 5 | Broken Ribs & Renal Infarct | Slight deminished sexual intrest,.......very slight. Drowsyness. Some wierd dreams. Calmness. | I took it on and off, since I broke two diffent ribs a year apart, and before that I took it because a third of my kidney died off (Renal Infarct). It worked very well, but I seemed to need more than the average person. I took about twice the amount required and it took care of the pain. This isn't abnormal with me since it seems like that happens with any pain killer I used in the past. It also lowered my blood pressure, and took care of another disorder that I had all my life (Panic Dissorder). | M | 43 | 10 months | 2/11/2005 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain | Taking 10/325 4/day. I feel extremely happy - almost too happy. It's the first time I've had adequate pain relief since 1996. Tried every other pain med, including morphine and oxycontin. This one works. I had forgotten what it's like to live without pain. | I took percocet in the past, but it didn't work well. That was after surgery #4 in 2001. | M | 46 | 1 weeks | 4/20/2005 | 5 | post op hernia repair | severe constipation which is very bad for post op for hernia | wish the medical community would have warned me about the constipation and outlined a preventative regimen/prescribed a stool softener. as it is it has set back my recovery due to tearing from pressure to relieve constipation | M | 30 | 7 days | 4/9/2005 | 5 | Broken Femur - Post Surgery | Light sweats, constipation (use laxative to avoid problems) | This stuff is great. Provided real pain relief. Allowed me to sleep, and to do my physio. Gradually reduced dosage, as permitted by pain. After 9 weeks I can stop, with no withdrawl. | M | 44 | 9 weeks | 5/4/2005 | 5 | Kidney Stones | Worked in making the un beleivable pain bareable. | But remember, you can get hooked easily. Don't take this precaution lightly. Only take it as a last resort to releiving pain. | M | 55 | 4 weeks | 5/14/2005 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain | Very minimal side effects: drowsy and dizziness. | Took Norco for 5 years. Moved up to percocet 10's 4/day. It works great. Knocks out the pain and allows me to function. | M | 46 | 2 months | 5/18/2005 | 5 | Rotator cuff tear/Back pain | I have been taking Percocet for two years due to shoulder pain, finally had arthroscopic surgery last month. Works great, better than vicodine. It can be addictive so dont overdue it. It numbs the pain...I wanted to die I was hurting so bad, worse pain that kidney stones. Percocet mellowed me out for about 4-5 hours, used 325 Milligrams once/twice a day. Gave me some weird dreams at times. I now feel like I am having bad stomach cramps or maybe an ulcer from taking these for so long. | If you are in terrible pain I would take these. But don't take them just to get buzzed. | M | 38 | 2 years | 5/21/2005 | 5 | rapture disc | none | works great! I take 10/325 4 or 5 pills a day all depending on the weather or how I feel!!!!!!!! | M | 46 | 3 years | 5/7/2007 | 5 | Chronic back pain | none yet | I only take 1 first thing in the morning and it helps me get thru the worst part of the day which is the morning. Also makes it way more bearable to go to the gym and get a half decent workout in. | M | 34 | 2 days | 6/12/2007 | 5 | lower back pain | some bloating | works great for pain. Did not find very addictive. Easy to go off for a few months without a problem. | M | 44 | 4 months | 5/10/2007 | 5 | C2 thru C6 Neck Pain | Itchiness | Great medication for chronic upper neck pain. However, detox is a bitch, so take only when needed, rather than daily. Great medication. It puts you in a total chill state. | M | 21 | 5 months | 5/19/2007 | 5 | kidney stone | My side effects were feeling warm and tingly inside, more talkative than normal, just loving life and everybody. And that was just in the day time! At night, when I closed my eyes to sleep, I would feel like I was floating around the room, and would see myself smiling. | WATCH OUT! These pills are very,very addictive. They always worked for my kidney stone pain in as little as 15 minutes. That high would last for about 3 hours at its strongest point. I get kidney stones often, atleast one stone every other year and I must say...I look forward to the medicine cuz I know I'm getting percocet. However, the big downfall I hate is when my pills are gone and I still feel like I need them to get through the day, but they're all gone. I then feel depressed, moody, and restless. Usually it takes me a good 2 weeks to bounce back from the withdrawl and then I feel normal again. | M | 37 | 30 days | 12/18/2007 | 5 | Low back pain, extreme | Some very minor bowel issues. Could not do complex engineering calculations (duh!). | Increased the quality of my life greatly. Was able to do field work where otherwise I would be at home in bed. | M | 36 | 45 days | 2/15/2008 | 5 | Chronic Pain from Surgery | When I first began taking it drowsienss, but now it only takes the pain away, no side effects. | I have been taking this off and on for almost 3 years. For me, it is a miracle medicine. It helps so much even after all this time. However!!! Those withdrawls are unbelieveable!!! Do not take more than prescribed, because if you run out early you can not get more, even a day early. Just take this as prescribed and you will be fine. Much better than Vicodin and not as addicting. | M | 35 | 2 years | 3/18/2008 | 5 | two torn shoulder muscles | slight dizziness,flush feeling of the face, and some difficulty urinating | Percocet has saved my life for my shoulder pain. Ive tried everything motrin, ultram, vicodin, ms contin, and darvocet. This one worked the best other than oxycontin but I was only on that for a month because Its so expensive. That theres not a whole big differene between the two. I would recommend this drug to anyone in moderate to severe pain. Just take it easy with it. Can be addicting, and the withdrawal is not fun. | M | 28 | 3 years | 11/11/2008 | 5 | Spinal Injury | Dizziness, Happiness, Wierd Dreams, Strange Sleeping habits, and Irregular eating habits | It is great for pain, but I became dependent very easily, had to be weened off of it. Very hard to quit using, bad withdrawel symptoms, and easy to abuse | M | 16 | 4.5 months | 11/25/2008 | 5 | Shoulder Surgery (SLAP Repair) | Nothing out of the ordinary. Relieved the pain post surgery, feeling of relaxation and euphoria, a little groggy in the morning. Only side effect was minor constipation. | Opiates aren't for everyone, my advice to anyone new to these types of drugs (vicodin, percocet, etc) is to take half the recommended dosage as everyone reacts differently. I've been lucky and have yet to have any adverse reactions to any of these medications (have used them for a variety of sports related injuries and surgeries), but be safe and do NOT take more than the recommended dosage. | M | 27 | 14 days | 1/2/2009 | 5 | Back Surgery / Arthritis / Migraine | Slight constipation at times and itching of the skin. The itching is the worst part of this drug. Over the years it seems to have gotten worse but it only happens on occassion. | I initially took this when I started having back problems which eventually took surgery to help. Surgery was the best thing that happened to help my back however in order to lead a normal life and do things I could and would like to do such as golf, and work around the house, functional somewhat normally I need to take percocet. I can barely move my fingers in the morning due to arthritis and then my back eventually starts up. I have taken percocet off and on (mostly on) for six plus years now. I do agree the dose becomes less effective after awhile. You have to be cautious to not take it unless you need it and in that way you keep the dose effective. I haven't uplifted my dosage for a couple of years. I have tried to decrease the milligrams but that didn't work for the pain. For the person that said to cut your pills in half to decrease your dosage... please do not listen to that. If you cut your pills you are basically boosting your short term dose to get a buzz and quick pain relief | M | 46 | 7 years | 2/19/2009 |
