 4  Abscessed tooth Drowsiness, slight dizzyness and nightmares. If taken at night, CRAZY dreams where you wake up and aren't sure if they are real or not. At first they were disturbing, but you get used to them. More of a warm, calming effect then a pain killer. Kind of like having a glass of wine or two. Didn't really eliminate the pain, although it worked better than Vocodin, which did nothing for me at all. M 38 4 days

 4  physical/emotional pain constipation, significant itching, euphoria, relaxation, sense of well-being. As with all opiates, respiratory depression always occurs and is dose related. DO NOT COMBINE WITH ALCOHOL OR OTHER SEDATIVES/TRANQUILIZERS. took for moderate hyperextended knee pain and other stuff..... took 3 generic 7.5mg/325 tablets. Great buzz and relief of pain but short acting(2-3 hrs). I don't advise snorting this drug and do not take with alcohol. This version of the drug contains tylenol, which when combined with alcohol increases risk of liver problems. If you plan on using this drug recreationally or legitmately, be very careful because tolerance/addiction potential develops rapidly. Do not use daily for more than 7 days as withdrawal may develop. Do not abruptly stop using this drug after long term use. I am not a healthcare professional and have no medical training. I am not a junkie either. This info is just from personal experiences as well as other person's experiences. If you develop really bad itching, take an anti-histamine like claritin, benadryl, etc. *THIS INFO IS NOT TO REPLACE THAT OF A DOCTOR/OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.* M 20 5 times

 4  Deviated septum/turbinectomy surger Dry mouth, decreased sex drive, vivid dreams When I take the pill, 30-60 minutes in I feel woozy. If I walk around the house, I sometimes stumble, and will close my eyes only to have very vivid dreams. I was surprised by the dreams and their reality. There were some times where I had a feeling of euphoria, but I also noticed not only diminished sex drive, but more difficulty achieving orgasm. I'm just finishing with the percocet, I assume that side effect will diminish... M 21 6 days

 4  L4-L5 Disc Herniation Lots of itching!! Sexual side effects, wife not happy about that!! Very addicting!!! M 38 1 days

 4  Kindey Stone Taking just one I got some mild dizziness when I got up too fast, itching in random places, loss of appetite and constipation. Taking two at a time gave me more severe dizziness, drowsiness, a pounding heart beat for a little while with some difficulty breathing. I cut it back to just one at a time. Also dry mouth towards the end, which made my throat a little sore, but drinking more water helped. Really helped relieve the pain and helped me sleep at night. Made passing a kidney stone much easier! M 32 3 days

 4  migraine Mild ataxia, mild ringing in ears similar to being drunk. Constipation after several doses. I noticed a possibility to become addicted to this med. This medicine was alot of fun for me plainly, after taking 5 mg I felt just fine... A little off balance but full of energy and very happy, optimistic. I became very talkative and had that good all over feeling. It gives a pretty clean high too, meaning you can function almost ordinarily. But,sadly, I feel like a day afterwards I want to take the drug again to experience it's effect. so people should watch out for the potential for addiction. M 25 5 days

 4  Post-op Bone Tumor none It works. Lortab, tylenol 3, valium, naproxen, ibuprofen, regular tylenol, none of it worked. They were all like pez. Percocet, however, helped significantly. While I was still sore never missing a dose, it has been the most effective painkiller short of an epideral(which worked wonders). M 18 1 weeks

 4  herniated discs/bone spur in cspine Drowsiness, fuzziness and swimming in brain, dry mouth, constipation, weird and vivid dreams. Had taken a few 5/325 for post op. pain after carpal tunnel and gum surgery and worked great. For nerve pain from cspine problems, it was only moderately effective but helped knock me out so I could sleep. Quickly built up tolerance and needed more frequent and then larger doses. After spine surgery, nerve pain was gone and post op. pain was only moderate so only took one dose at night to help sleep and that did the trick. Advise taking as little as you can stand to reduce tolerance buildup and side effects. Advise taking stool softeners and plenty of water if you get constipated. M 50 40 days

 4  herniated Disc This medicine works great for the pain, but is PHYSICALLY ADDICTING and getting off , my decision, makes you relize that there are more ways to cure back pain, weight loss, chiropatic thereapy, adjustments, it hell getting off, but it YOU want to stop, your doctor will help. Coming off this medicine makes me remember documentries about people trying to kick herion, it hurts all over inside and out, be very careful, and if you want your life back, then get it back. Don't quite cold turkey if you've been on it awhile, let your physican help you. M 34 12 months

 4  herniated discs/sciatica Slight dizziness, mild lethargy. It helps my back pain quickly. I also take Opana ER 30 when I wake up and when I go to sleep. The percs are an experiment by my dr. I was taking Roxicet 15 3 times a day and it demolished my back pain but it made me really stupid acting too because I was high as a kite from it. He said if the percs don't work he was going to stop the Opana and percs and put me on Fentanyl 100s and nothhing else M 29 2 days

 4  back pain/surgery Out of it if you take alot. gives you a dreamy warm feeling which can lead to abuse. getting angry easily after comedown. i had back problems for years and ive been taking this for years. i started with 5mg/325 3x's a day and got up to 3-4 10mg/325 a day after surgery. they do have some side effects but when your in as much pain as i was its the only thing you can do. the more you take the worse the side effects but i never had terrible withdraws from them, i still get a few now and then when my back acts up and they do work very well for pain and are worth the side effects if your in alot of pain non stop.
