| 4 | Wisdom teeth extraction | tiredness, light headed, warm feeling, little itchy | it honestly worked great for me, the only thing i didnt like is if i woke up during the night the pain would be really bad if they wore off (they tended not to last as long as the directions said) but other than that i took them with a glass of milk and didnt experience any nausea | M | 20 | 3 days 5 : 325 3X day | 8/22/2010 | 4 | Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Drowsiness,Euphoria, Dysphoria, Pruritus, Nausea | A great medication to help with pain; however, the side effects can be quite bothersome, especially if you have taken the medication as long as I have. Initially, I used to feel euphoric, but this has recently changed to dysphoria. I now become angrier, and irritated when taking percocet. The itching is quite a problem; I'll spend 2-3 hours scratching my entire body after taking the medication, as a result, losing out on sleep. I feel nauseous at times, but it's not lasting. I would take this med over codeine/morphine any day. | M | 25 | 1.5 years 5/325 3X day | 7/7/2010 | 4 | Spinal stenosis, DDD, L5-S1 | Initially some nausea, dizziness, and mild sedation. After a couple of week they were nearly gone. The vivid dreaming took months to go away. Some cognitive issues for the first few days. | Good analgesic, I have taken it many times. | M | 21 | 2 years 10/325 3X day | 2/9/2010 | 4 | Lower back pain | Slight drowsiness | Quick effective action allows me to continue to participate in competitive sailing, where we all "hike" off the side of the sailboat to stay level. | M | 53 | 4 months 5 mg 2X day | 3/13/2010 | 3 | tonsillectomy | anxiety, mood changes, paranoia, vivid dreams, makes me fall asleep but can't stay asleep, blurry vision, short term memory loss, out of it, depression | first off, as far as pain, it's wonderful. thats where the positives end though. when i first started taking it i liked it. it made me feel loopy. then after the next few days i started to have mood changes and began to feel depressed for no reason. last night i laid in bed shaking because i was so anxious. tonight i feel very paranoid. i have been laying in my bed trying to remember what i have done for the past 5 days in detail. I am very afraid to fall asleep because i always have very vivid nightmares and when i wake up in a cold sweat it takes me a good 30 minutes to realize that it was just a dream. that is why i am up at 3am writing this. i feel trapped because i know if i don't take it i will be in and immense amount of pain, but if i do then i will have to deal with these torturous side effects. | M | 19 | 5 days 5/325 8X day | 7/20/2010 | 3 | Femur surgery- 2 DVTs- Nerve damage | it blocked the pain by making me so completely drugged that I wasn't even aware of anything around me. I can see the pros to taking smaller doses, but now my withdrawals are so heavy I cant even function. Be careful while taking this, have someone oversee your dosage as at high levels things get easily confused. | Don't think I was as irritable as I was on vicodin but then again I was totally blacked out while on the percocet. | M | 35 | 20 days 15-20 6X day | 7/26/2011 | 3 | 2 ruptured disks, spinal stenosis | Rebound headaches with generic versions, name brand percocet fixed that problem. Made pain go away, some itchiness in nose. Emotional anxiety, ups and downs. After prolonged use it really negatively impacted my ability to perform sexually - desire diminished and physical sensation, excitement and response to stimulation diminished dramatically over time. | Worked great for pain, watch the severe headaches. Ultimately long term effects on me psychologically helped me seek alternative pain medication from my doctor. | M | 51 | 3 months 7.5-325 4X day | 7/5/2011 | 3 | Pain relief | constipation, dizziness, drowsiness | Alleviated pain of surgical skin graft fairly well. | M | 76 | 25 days 15-650 mg 4X day | 3/8/2011 | 3 | back-to-back operations | many years ago had back-to-back surgeries. both cases percocet was prescribed. great for the pain. after the prescription ran out, I got very sick (thought it was the flu). looking back and not knowing about this class of drugs in 1993, I was addicted. Whew. Looking back I'm glad I thought it was only the "flu"....I was in bed for about a week detoxin from this dangerous drug. | be careful with this drug. | M | 19 | 3 months 7.5 mg 3X day | 2/7/2011 | 3 | Chronic back pain | Drowsiness, itching, nausea, fatigue, difficulty breathing, lightheadedness. | I took this medication once for my back pain. 2 pills. Pain relief was near instant (within 5-10 mins). Within 15 minutes from taking it, I found myself unable to finish writing a text message and just plain drowsy. I fell asleep for about 2 hours and woke up feeling lightheaded and lazy. A ride in the backseat of a car was torture as the side effects turned into a nauseating, stomach squelching pain. I was becoming hungry for cold fresh air. A few hours later, I was still lazy and sleepy but now itching. My entire body was turning red from all the scratching but no hives or breakouts was noted. for the next 10 hours, I did not have an appetite. Looking at food or just thinking of my last "good" meal the day before made me nauseated. Oatmeal was the my only desire -the only option. I wanted something plain. At this time (24hrs) since the last dose, I am still finding myself scratching and still nauseated. I probably will never take Percocet again. I believe the side effects outweighs my back problems. | M | 24 | 1 days 5-325 4X day | 10/3/2010 | 3 | appendectomy | Relieved pain but made him EXTREMELY moody.angry, crying, severely irritable. | M | 7 | 1 days 7.5 | 1/27/2012 | 3 | Chronic back pain | Nausea when taking generic percocet | I have used Perc since 1996 when my doctor finally agreed that taking 8 tylenol 3 with codeine was killing my liver and making me look like a yellow man-I have tried every strength and have finally gone back to one of the two that works best, 5/325. the great thing about this one is the dosage is more effective when using brand as the narcotic portion is more evenly spread through the tablet as opposed to the generic. As the doctors say, take it before the onset of pain rather than when something flares up. I have made the mistake all too frequently of popping a whole one when all I may have needed is half. The result is dizziness and nausea. The other comparitive meds, at least for me, Vicodin, Percodan, etc. just do not work. | M | 40 | 10 years | 12/2/2005 | 3 | to get high and feel good | I got really really itchy | M | 18 | 5 days | 11/14/2006 | 3 | Wisdom Teeth post extraction | Dizzyness, Shortness of breath, racing heart rate, sweaty palms and feet, dry mouth | I was perscribed Oxycodon (generic percocet) 5/325 tablet to be taken every 4 hours by my oral surgeon. Explaining to him that I had trouble taking pills it was expressed to simply crush it (I know about time release and brought it up but that didn't seem to be a problem when I did). Having never taken an opiate derivative before and nowhere on the directions did it say crushing was bad, I crushed the tablet and took it with fruit smoothie. Fell asleep and awoke about 5 hours later. I took another one as prescribed after I crushed it and took it with a glass of water. Not more than an hour later I started to get sweaty hands and feet, shortness of breath, racing heartrate, dry mouth. This drug ultimately makes you sleep and reduces pain with the acetaminophen. All I can say is crushing it may have lead to the effects I experienced, too bad I wasn't told this nor did I read it till after the fact. Scared the shit out of me, and came close to going to the hosipital given symptoms | M | 30 | 1 days | 4/1/2007 | 3 | Rotator Cuff Surgery, Non-Arthro. | I have had some really wierd dreams where i wasnt sure if i was awake or asleep and have woken up in a cold sweat mostly completely, but not sure of what or why... also light hallucinations when im kept up by the drug and in the dark, also DO NOT mix this drug with pot unless you are ready for a possibly hallucinagenic experience (i tried it once a few days after the surgery and it was much like the dreams i have been having having, where i was not sure if i was awake or asleep and time slowed down. It shouldnt hurt you but i wont be trying it again). On a Good note, I have felt light headeness and COMPLETE pain relief. Also a short burst of extreme adgitation by even the most pleasing sounds and people on the come down, but it goes away. The longer youre on it the longer that stage gets though, i assume. | Everyone reacts differently. It does kill the pain. Just be careful and let someone know your on it if you start to freak out. Dont worry, its just the drug f-ing with your mind. youll get your mind back when it wears off. | M | 18 | 2 weeks | 1/9/2007 | 3 | P.O. pain and back pain. | None, slight euphoria. | Its work better then Vicoden for pain, but still percocet isn't all that strong of a pain killer. I'd take four percocets in one dose and my hand would still be in pain and even though its not a recomended thing to do I'd take six to eight percocets to kill pain sometimes. Dilaudid works alot better on pain after surgery or back pain. Ive been given about a dozzen scripts of percocet in my life and in my opinion Percocet would be a great medication to be used for anxiety relief. Well the oxycodone alone would be better for that the tylenol wouldn't be needed besides too much tylenols bad on your liver anyway. | M | 23 | 2 months | 11/11/2004 | 3 | Oral surgery | Upset stomach, vomitting | M | 18 | 1 days | 3/4/2004 | 3 | for pain | dry mouth; sweating. | M | 54 | 19 days | 1/22/2004 | 3 | Broken,leg&neck+fractures | none | helped decently still had some pain,I just had to rest alot and take percocet 2pills every 4-6 hours | M | 24 | 6 weeks | 5/27/2002 | 3 | post-surgery | anxiety | I wasn't all that satisfied with the effects of the drug. Allthough it did in fact kill any pain, it also killed all other peripheral senses. I found that I wasn't comfortable with the overall effects of the drug and requested to be discontinued from it and switched to something else. | M | 38 | 1 months | 3/29/2002 |
