 5  Severe Spinal Injuries post MVA Itching, sometimes severe. As one surgeon put it, my spine "...is a trainwreck...you're lucky you can walk and control body functions..." Surgical interventions have not relieved the pain. The damage to the nerves is permanent. That said, percocet has been a life saver for me - literally. I am able to control my use and have no fear of dependancy. I have never experienced any side effects other than itching - no feelings of euphoria or being "high" or drowsy. It just does what it is supposed to - relieve the pain. I take doses of 10/325 as needed when I can no longer tolerate the pain. M 50 6 years

 5  Massive Inner Ear Infection I had been suffering from a massive inner ear infection that had been initially mis-diagnosed as "nothing major" after 2 days my face began swelling and ear began oozing fluid. The pain was excruciating. Went to the ER and the doctor prescribed some drop antibiotics and 5/325 Percocets. Eliminated the pain after approximately 30 minutes of taking them, helped me sleep but I had strange dreams, slightly upset stomach and woke up feeling hung-over (might have been fever symptoms) I'm a big guy 6'0 250lbs and they knocked me out fairly quickly. They also gave me a warm fuzzy feeling that started at my feet and worked its way upward. I also laughed some times at random. Only took them for a 72hr period as the antibiotics reduced the swelling and killed off the infection very quickly. All in all unbelievable for pain with slight draw backs. M 23 3 days

 5  4 wisdom teeth taken out.... A faint but nice loopyness, my teeth aren't that painful without them but the percocet gets ride of the pain and then some. I can still walk around and so chores around the house effectivly but I tend to fall asleep when I lay still for too long. M 22 2 days

 5  Spinal Surgery ITCHING. I had to have three successive surgeries on my cervical and thoracic spine due to a serious motor vehicle accident.I too have a sensitivity to opiates, I get sick as a dog, like the worst cases of the flu you could ever have, in the hospitals when they give me morphine, phentanyl,dilaudid, etc. Demerol was tolerable in the hospital setting(it doesn't kill the pain, it just makes you not care that it is there!) but is not practical, nor desirable to me "out in the world". Post-Op I now find that Percocet is the only serious pain reliever that I can tolerate. It works pretty well. I would not be able to get through Physical Re-Hab without it. I am being very careful regarding dependancy issues. The only real problem I have with it is the ITCHING but I can eat that anytime over the pain. I'm thankful that I have it available to me. M 31 5 months

 5  Bronchitis/Flu Itchyness, Focused way too hard on little things like bugs and people walking on the street, Sleepy, but I did feel that it helped me focus on my work for a little while. I took it because I was freaking out from my Sickness, and I started sweating real bad and breathing heavy, so my friend gave me one and said it would calm me down. worked like a Charm. M 16 1 days

 5  Had 4 wisdom teeth extracted Slight nausea (only a couple times), dizziness/lightheadedness, sleepy It definitely did its job. I felt uncomfortable taking this more than once or twice a day after the 3rd day, however, due to it's reputation. But it definitely gets rid of the pain. Side effects were minimal, for me. M 21 5 days

 5  Pain after knee surgery Works great for my pain when it flares up. I did have some constipation at first. I took a stool softener, and haven't had that problem since. I've also had upset stomach at times, but its more than worth it for the relief it provides. M 45 8 days

 5  Dental Pain Wow! Before taking Percocet, I didn't realize euphoria, warmth, and comfort were possible as such a level. Percocet just feels that good. This drug also caused me to have awesome psychedelic dreams. Yes, it is a tremendous pain reliever. M 33 30 days

 4  Ant c-spine discectomy and fusion I was warned about constipation so I took stool softeners/laxative along with the Percocet....they were no match. Even took Dulcolax last night...still nothing. Also had mild to moderate itching all over which I did not attribute to percocet until reading these reviews...Mild to moderate drowsiness which was welcomed to help me sleep after surgery. Very effective at pain relief for 36 hours after surgery. Beware of constipation and try to stay ahead of it (if that is even possible). Mild itching all over was not bad after I realized what was making me itch. M 42 2 days
10MG 5X day

 4  Nerve Damage/Crushing Upp Extremity Constipation in the beginning. It still gets me really tired, fatigue. In the beginning I was taking 20mg every 4 hours which had me in bed most of the time. Now I'm down to 7.5 mg 3 times a day. My tolerance is high but I'm managing and I'm thinking about getting a nerve block procedure so I can get of the meds since my pain is still intense. Overall I'm satisfied with the medication. The only thing I don't like is that it's hard for me to wake up in the morning, and I'm really fatigue until the evening. M 26 2 years

 4  SEVEN HERNIATED DISCS Severe itching. Some Nausea at times. Yes, that's right, seven(7), herniated cervical and lumbar discs suffered from a rear end auto collision. Inoperable. I have a problem (not addiction) to opiates. When in the hospital I was given morphine which produced such severe flu-like symptons that I thought I was dying. Dilaudid also makes me ill well past the cost/benefit line. Ditto for Phentanyl. Vicodin does nothing for my pain. Percocet/APAP 10/325 does help, quite a bit, with my pain. The itching can become intolerable at times (it is NOT an allergy but a product of the opioid actions)but the necessity to obtain relief from the pain outweighs the itching problem almost all of the time. It does sometimes make me nauseous but nothing like the Dilaudid or Phentanyl. Some people claim that Benadryl helps with the itching but I do not find that and I try to avoid mixing any medications if I possibly can M 52 7 years

 4  herniated disc/chronic pain Vivid dreams. Mild constipation. Extreme bouts of hot flashes/sweating. Don't know if the hot flashes are from the medication or some other cause. Works well for the pain. Dr. has opium phobia and will not give script fo oxycontin. Take oxycodone 15 mg. Cut in half and take six times a day. If I take the whole pill as prescribed, it fades after about 4 hours and then I am screwed waiting around for the next dose time. Smaller more frequent doses helps me make it through the day.
