| 4 | TMJ related pain/headaches | Very little side effects - Constipation being the biggest issue | This drug has really given me the relief that I have been looking for. I have suffered from TMJ and related issues from the TMJ for several years. The combinaton of Percocet and Soma for a muscle tension really seem to be solving the problems. | M | 37 | 1 years | 4/13/2007 | 4 | Shattered heel/back; Wisdom teeth | If you exceed recommended dosage, naseua and dizziness are possible. Constipation manifests itself within a couple days. | After a skydiving accident, I was put on percocet for a shattered wrist, back and heel. I found it to be a more effective pain reliever than MS contin (morphine). I'm currently taking it to alleviate post wisdom tooth extraction pain as a result of breaking my jaw post surgery. I didn't experience any severe withdrawl symptoms, but all of you kids out there getting "high" , get real and get a life. | M | 28 | 3 weeks | 6/6/2007 | 4 | C5-C6 neck herniation surgery | Feeling of well being. Pretty much killed the pain. Optimistic about life. | Coming off is not fun. I was on it for 2 weeks and side effects are depression and lack of energy. Wanting to go back for one more pill but not going to do it. Think everything will be fine in 1 or 2 more days. | M | 36 | 2 weeks | 8/10/2007 | 4 | L-5/S-1 Laminectomy/Disectomy | Constipation!! Light headiness, slight nausea at higher doses. Itchiness like a MOFO! when first prescribed, but has since gone away now that I have been on 10/325's for over a year. I warm sense of wellbeing as it not only assists with the physical "pain", but any mental "pain" as I am going through my 3rd divorce as of writing this, and I gotta tell ya...I couldn't imagine having to go through it without them. It is helping both pains right now. | I could not function normally without this drug. The pain would be too immense, and would have me concentrating more on it then living life. It is an addictive drug to those with addictive personalities, so if that describes you...then proceed with caution if ever prescribed? To those of us in pain, it is called "dependence" NOT addiction...big difference there. Anyone taking this drug (and many others in the Opiate classes) over time WILL develop tolerance and dependence. It is NORMAL. The reason that this drug gets such a bad rap from the DEA and other US Governmental agencies is because they CONFUSE those terms. If they were to actually analyze data on patients who are taking the drug BECAUSE of pain, they would realize that those who take it for that reason ARE THE LEAST LIKELY TO ABUSE IT, AND FOLLOW THE DOSAGES AS PRESCRIBED. Those of you taking it just to get high? Just know that you are playing with fire, and when it is time to come down...your life will suck | M | 36 | 1 years | 10/22/2007 | 4 | Extraction of 4 Wisdom Teeth | Drowsiness, itchiness, difficulty urinating and maintaining an erection, makes me smoke a lot more cigarettes than usual, and loss of appetite. | I can definitely see why people may become hooked on this stuff. I was taking Vicodin ES (7.5mg) at first but it didn't help. My oral surgeon switched me to Percocet (7.5mg). When I take one tablet the pain goes away about 50%. If I take two tablets, I feel better but the side effects are increased another 50%. I don't know what's worse - the pain or the damn side effects. | M | 19 | 3 days | 11/23/2007 | 4 | Kidney stones | Feeling stoned, slow, braindead. Experienced a weird opiate buzz that I really dislike. | This med helped with the pain but wasn't as effective as the morphine they gave me at first. From what I've read, many people use Percocet to trip. I really have trouble understanding how people can abuse it... These pills make you feel like shit especially if you take a lot. I have used drugs recreationally in the past but tripping on Percocet never remotely crossed my mind. | M | 28 | 4 days | 3/22/2007 | 4 | For back pain but also to get high | Pain for back was completely gone. I felt dizziness but not in a bad way, some small headaches, some shortness of breath for only a limited time after it kicked in. Able to act normal around people, but feeling amazing, but short tempered and impatient. | I can see how people can get addicted to this drug, and I have studied the addictiveness of drugs.even though im putting my self at risk. but It’s a great feeling to experience. This was the only time I have ever tried this drug, and I plan to keep it that way for unless in pain. I strongly suggest not taking this drug only to get high. It stimulates a different part of the brain which can make you dependent on any drug you take. Unless your in pain you will not become dependent on this drug only when you decide to take it to prevent pain when your not in pain yet or not likely to have pain you are at risk for dependence. | M | 18 | 1 days | 4/24/2007 | 4 | Kidneystone | I felt as if a veil was coming down over my consciousness. Then after only two pills taken over a 10 hour period, I am struggling trying to remember things 4 days later, cannot remember what day of the week it is, and I'm very irritable. I hope these side effects go away soon! Also, due to the pain involved, I became a lunatic wanting to get my hands on those pills (they gave me ONE at 1AM the ER and I was waiting for the pharmacy to fill the perscription for the rest at 10AM, just waiting for the next wave of pain from the kidneystone). Then I drifted in and out of being coherent for a day. Would spend 45 minutes reading a page in a book. I DO think it somehow shielded me from the worst of the pain. | I understand kidneystones are very painful, but it seems like this medication reduced it from a 10 all the way down to a .... 10. Didn't seem to do much for the pain, I was otherworldly possessed, shaking uncontrollably, etc. BUT, I didn't seem to care about the pain, or that I couldn't control my breathing or shaking. IF it actually did help, and I kind of think it did, I cannot imagine the pain of a kidneystone. | M | 46 | 0.5 days | 5/7/2005 | 4 | Wisdom tooth gum infection | Ithing (holy cow!); Urination muscles become a little week; Nausea (only if taken on empty stomach). | Great drug if you like feeling like you stoned out of your mind. Kills the pain, but it wears off quicker than the labels claim, so you will wind up taking it more often than it recommends. I am on 10mg (only supposed to take 1 per 6 hours, but I was taking 1 every 3 hours). Make you feel like your great and wonderful, with NO medication hangover type feelings. Would recommend to anyone who has pain that over the counter drugs can't help with. Don't take it if you don't plan on being a trooper and forcing yourself off it at the end. The Withdrawal is a little rough, but one or two nights of tossing and turning should do it--would recommend a sleeping pill for those couple of night while you go through it. | M | 32 | 1 weeks | 4/12/2005 | 4 | break through back pain | constapation | M | 29 | 2 times | 5/7/2002 | 4 | back pain | didn't really have any side effects at all. | most of the time need to take two to relive the pain. it doesn't completely go away just makes it bearable. | M | 46 | 5 weeks | 2/13/2003 | 4 | back pain | none | M | 46 | 1 months | 11/23/2002 | 4 | Osteoarthritis | Slight calming effect. Somewhat drowsy. | Cut the joint pain by over half. Was able to walk easier, get up from a chair easier, slept better, and able to move my legs better first thing in the morning (a blessing). Bit concerned about the addictive effect. | M | 56 | 1 weeks | 3/31/2004 | 4 | Painful abscess | I got drowsy in a few minutes and before I knew it I was knocked out but it had worn off by morning. I was in a very bad mood the next day, edgy and very easily irritated. | It helps you sleep so you basically dont feel the pain, but I didnt wanna take it any longer since its a narcotic and I didnt wanna get hooked. | M | 25 | 2 days | 8/4/2004 | 4 | pain | constipated | M | 41 | 2 weeks | 8/17/2004 | 4 | Herniated Disk | Euphoria, extreme but pleasant lethargy and complete pain relief. I had to make sure I had nothing important to do before I took them because afterwards I was good for nothing! Also my orgasms were dulled, still pleasurable but not very intense. | M | 28 | 21 days | 8/26/2004 | 4 | kidney stone | nausea, drowsiness, feeling keyed up, and dry mouth. | kidney stones are very painful. percocet helps a great deal with pain my only complaints are the nausea and drowsiness other than that it is great. | M | 21 | 7 days | 8/14/2005 | 4 | Bilateral knee replacement | Blurred vision, constipation | Percocet does relieve my post-op pain if I take enough of it. The blurred vision has me worried. It's a listed side effect on the patient information sheet, but I haven't been able to find out anything more about it. I noticed the blurring after the surgery and although I can't be sure, I attribute it to the Percocet. I had my vision checked and verified that it had gotten worse. My concern now is whether the vision change is temporary or permanent. | M | 71 | 25 days | 11/18/2006 | 4 | recreation | constipation, extreme itching all over body, euphoira, mental clouding, the usual high you get from opiate narcotics. | The "high" didn't last very long. Percocet is a short acting drug | M | 19 | 1 times | 12/6/2006 | 4 | Broken Arm, Brachial Plexus Injury | Projectile vomiting, sweating, headache, restless feeling. | Great for the first six weeks, then side effects hit me like a ton of bricks. Try to keep down to minimum number of pills per day as possible because side effects / withdrawal feel like hell. | M | 38 | 9 weeks | 7/10/2006 |
