| 4 | 4 wisdom teeth removed | not too hungry, a little itchy at times, they do help me sleep | They have really helped the pain. I have now be on them for 2 1/2 days, I am glad I have them | M | 34 | 3 days | 5/30/2008 | 4 | Teeth Implant | Euphoria, Itching, Strange Dreams, Tiredness | Worked great for pain. Felt really chatty and upbeat. It disrupts REM sleep so I feel tired the next day. I only took about 6 of the 30 pills I was prescribed. Then I took 5 over the next 2 weeks to experiment. The last pill I took there was extreme itchiness and little euphoria. I have felt depressed for about 4 days now which has killed any desire to take more. | M | 23 | 1 weeks | 6/8/2008 | 4 | Hip injury | First was the relief from the pain then euphoria and at tmes nausea. Also very hard to acheive climax during sex. | Great pain reliever if used as directed but if abused can have an adverse effects when withdraw kicks in. I've experienced vomiting, diarea, fever, chills, BLINDING HEAD ACHES, back pain, depression, mood swings, insomnia and unusual blood pressure. I do NOT recomend anyone using this as a recreational drug or for longer than needed simply because of all the negative side effects. I've taken percocet on and off for a few years and now have to take at least two 10/325 tabs just to get relief from my hip pain. It's also quite expensive if you do not have insurance, costing between seventy-five dollars for generic and nine-hundred dollars for name brand Percocet. | M | 23 | 8 months | 6/20/2008 | 4 | Hernia repair | VERY Blurred vision, localized scalp itchiness and itching in general, lethargy, constipation, short bouts of dizziness. | Medication definitely numbs pain and helped in recovery. | M | 28 | 3 days | 1/8/2009 | 4 | Lower back pain | Light-headedness, drowsiness, and itching (at times severe) | As a pain reliever, I'm satisfied with Percocet. After only a few minutes after taking a pill, I immediately noticed a drop in pain levels in my lower back, almost to the point where it eliminated it completely. But it did make me light-headed and drowsy. I had to make sure that I had nothing else to do for the rest of the evening since I would usually fall asleep after taking a pill. I noticed that it did make me itch a lot, at times severe enough to interrupt sleep. (I'm a heavy sleeper, and for me to wake up because of itching says a lot about that particular side-effect.) | M | 31 | 5 days | 1/14/2009 | 4 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Constipation, minor mood swings, minor hyperactivity. | I've been taking Percocet for a very painful type of arthritis (Psoriatic) for several years now. It has proven effective at relieving the pain, but since the effects tend to diminish over time with long-term use, I had to discontinue use when pain was low in order to counter that effect. Addictability is a concern here but with the right pain management attitude and doctor monitoring of monthly dosages, I was easily able to keep that from being an issue. Strongly recommend close monitoring by a physician for any patient with drug addictability factors. Managed correctly, this medication is a GREAT addition to a pain management program for moderate to severe pain! Alternate with Lortab (or an acceptable alternative) occasionally to keep effectiveness up when pain is a constant. | M | 48 | 3 years | 2/1/2009 | 4 | Chronic Pain | Stomach upset due to tylenol. | Very effective, but tolerance makes small doses more and more inefficient. Will be talking to pain management doc about oxy's next. - And notice how the pathetic 'I take it to get high' are all teenagers/early twenties, god they give people with real pain a bad name. | M | 25 | 1 years | 5/3/2008 | 4 | 12 spinal reconstructions post MVA | none | If you are taking oxycodone for an extended period you should talk to your Dr about taking a version that is not compounded with either asprin (Percodan) or acetomenephine (Percocet). There are more problems (kidney,liver, etc.) with the compounded versions than with straight oxycodone tabs. My dosage was titrated up to 30mg every 4 hrs, supplimenting Methadone tabs. No tolerance problems or dosage changes necessary for thirteen years. The time-release version (oxycontin) was not effective in controlling spinal or radicular pain. Simple is better! | M | 55 | 13 years | 11/6/2008 | 4 | Lower back pain | The only side effects I experienced were euphoria and tiredness. | This drug is very easy to get addicted to. I will admit there are times were I take a dose just to feel the euphoric effects. The dosage has to be upped after a while because your body gets used to it. Works very well to relieve pain. REMEMBER, VERY ADDICTIVE!!!! | M | 19 | 4 months | 3/26/2008 | 4 | Fractured clavicle | Itchiness, dreams, mild constipation, can't read for long amounts of time without wanting to sleep, euphoria, detachment, delayed orgasm, cottonmouth, harsh withdrawal, and fatigue | Oxycodone/APAP 5-325mg. Took about three to six a day. Helped with pain, helped me sleep and gave me buzz. But tolerance built up after two days and began to feel crappy in morning (maybe thats cause I ate too much ice cream though). | M | 28 | 4.5 days | 4/5/2008 | 4 | pain & fibromyalgia complications | I was warned beforehand that drowsiness was a predominant side effect, and that it was, though not to the point where I was dropping off in my desk chair at home or at work. Experienced some dry mouth which was easily remedied with UNsweetened iced tea and ice water. Slight numbness of lips and fingertips (kept an eye on that, being diabetic). Some feeling of detachment, not inconsistent with a good alcohol buzz. Pain relief seemed to go hand-in-hand with numbness in otherwise unaffected extremities. | In my experience, using this drug for a two-week period, the worst side effects were the drowsiness 1-2 hours after taking the 5mg/ orally, and then the drymouth. Thankfully the latter is easily remedied with noncarbonated and unsweetened beverages. The percocet did more than vicodin for my deep muscle pain (can walk without my legs feeling like overcooked fettuccini); thankfully I only needed it for a short period of time and got the relief I needed. I can't speculate on long-term usage, but I know I personally wouldn't want a month's RX for this drug simply because I fear becoming dependent. If Aleve or something can get me through the day, I'll bear with background pain, but if it's overwhelming and affecting how I function... I would not mind having maybe half a dozen percocet stashed in my medicine cabinet to keep the demons away long enough for me to be fully functional. | M | 22 | 14 days | 2/28/2008 | 4 | Knee Rebuild after Fracture | Constipation & Dependency | After 3 weeks, your body begins to develop a dependency for the med. Eventually, a higher dose is needed to maintain the pain. | M | 46 | 3 years | 1/12/2008 | 4 | Sciatica and then Post-Surgery Pain | Constipation, Strong Euphoria, became outrageously talkative and "giggly", drowsiness/"crash" after euphoria wore off, difficulty thinking/concentrating. Withdrawl (Insomnia, woke up every 40 minutes at night once I did fall asleep with terrible nightmares and shakes/tremors/"creepie crawlies"...see why in addt'l comments) | I got my back problems from a hockey injury. Due to my age, my doctor hesitated to prescribe any narcotics to me (just muscle relaxers) for my sciatica. It started to get extremely bad (crippling bad) and my parents almost took me to the ED because I couldn't even stand up. At that time, I was talking of suicide. Well, I was closely watched and the next day the doctor had me in his OFFICE. Not even an exam room...his actual office at the hospital. He gave me a script for Percocet 5mg/325mg (and refered me to my primary care doc for 5mg Zoloft until my condition approved with surgery). [Oh yeah, and when I walked into the pharmacy with a letterman's jacket and a script for percocet, it was impossible to get it filled. They don't stereotype or anything...] I took took one or two per day for a month up until it progressed to me being stuck on the floor. They then took me to UH of Cleveland (top 20 spine centers in world) At that point I was in the hospital after surgery taking 2 5/325 pil | M | 17 | 2 months | 2/1/2008 | 4 | chronic pain | No serious side effects noted. I did build up a tollerence and to have dose change | M | 63 | | 12/18/2007 | 4 | infected tooth | slight sleepiness. Difficulty maintaining an erection and achieving an orgasm. | Took with food and without food. No neausa either way. | M | 57 | 1 days | 12/20/2007 | 4 | herniated disk in lower back | constipation | It worked well for controling my pain. Only lasted about four hours so in the middle of the night had to take another dose. Mostly took it at night to contol the pain so I could sleep. My dose was 1 to 1 and 1/2 10-325 mg tablets. | M | 49 | 60 days | 12/8/2007 | 4 | back pain | dizziness | helps with pain , its like a jacuzzi in pill form, ive nicknamed them " Limbas " for RL who became very addicted to them. be careful with this medication. | M | 40 | 6 months | 1/17/2008 | 4 | Lumbar Herniated Disc Surgery | some constipation, severe irritation and anger, sleepiness | Its a pretty good pain reliever, also puts you to sleep real fast. Gives a good kind of numbing relaxed feeling and a buzzed feeling. Also makes you really happy for no reason | M | 18 | 5 days | 8/28/2007 | 4 | Wisdom teeth extraction | Constipation was the only negative | EVERYONE - stop complaining! It is a painkiller. To kill pain you will inevitably experience side-effects. Otherwise man up and deal with the pain. There is no miracle drug that offers pain relief with no side-effects. | M | 35 | 4 days | 5/30/2007 | 4 | Pain | euphoria,constipation,nausea | Good pankiller but you get dependent...tolerance build pretty quickly | M | 55 | 18 months | 4/11/2007 |
