 3  7 Herniated discs Started with a vigorous energy and pain relief, and after a few weeks I suffered bad constipation, forgetfulness, and really bad pain when I tried to quit. If you don't suffer the side effects, it's a great pain killer, but if you do, it is very addictive and tough to kick. Try to take only when absolutley neccesary. M 46 4 months

 3  Ankle surgery took it shortly after surgery....but next day I felt my heart race, sweating and face got red (ovreheating),shortness of breath, and very anxious & claustaphobic. It went away after about 1 hour. My have been an after effect of the surgery and anesthesia. Doctor just called in a new RX for Vicodin to use instead. M 46 2 days

 3  sinus surgery i find it helps with the pain but is a trade off... i am more "blunt/rude" than normal towards others. when first taking them it gave me energy in the first hour but after a few days it is making me very drowsy and causing headaches instead. ironically, while making me drowsy i have insomnia and only notice my heartbeat when trying to sleep (cant sleep so im writing this at 2am). when i do sleep i do not have pleasant dreams and also believe i went sleep walking for the first time in my life last night. also can be addictive and cause mild constipation as well as delayed orgasm (at least in males) M 20 3 days

 3  torn rotator cuff surgery Nausea, mental fog, addiction, blurred vision, memory problems after I quit, big time constipation.Really ugly dreams Vicodin would have been a better choice. When I had spinal fusion it worked for that severe pain. As the days went by I found I needed 1 every 2 hours to keep ahead of the pain which probably caused the addictions. It took 3 pretty bad days to get weaned from the drug, my friends couldn't help but see me crawling out of my skin, unable to stop moving. This would not be my choice for a recreational drug. M 61 30 days

 3  Thoracic surgery for collapsed lung Mild itchyness, sweating - it felt like I had a fever, euphoria (kind of, but only the first couple times), tiredness It was helpful in the hospital but waaaaaay less effective than morphine. I was taking it for a couple weeks and when I went off it because I had to go back to school I had a headache (not too bad) for a day or two. It didn't get my pain down that much, and in general just pissed me off. It did help me get to sleep though, which in that first week home was very nice. I can't see how anyone gets high off of it though... M 16 3 weeks

 3  3rd Dgree AC Shoulder Separation I had all the usual side effects like being tired and feeling "high". The biggest problem I had with this drug was in the morning after taking only one pill the night before, I would wake up with serious lower back pain. I don't know why this is because I've never had any lower back problems before, but this drug made my back more painful than the injury I was taking percs for. Works great - but the lower back pain I experienced every morning made me want to get off it asap M 31 4 weeks

 2  Pain for wisdom teeth extraction Insomnia, constipation, itchy head. I don't like it. The first dose I took helped with pain and relaxed me. After that it didn't work and I was unable to sleep the entire night. I tried it again the next night and I hear I sit at my computr at 4am wishing I could sleep. I don't get it...thought it was supposed to make me tired. Lame drug. Oh...the itchy head thing was annoying. Again...lame drug. M 2 days

 2  tooth ache waiting for wisdom tooth None...I would have liked a side effect called take the effin pain away. it is 6:32 am. I have not slept. I have taken 3 of these from my dental appt today... I came on here yesterday and was reading. I had a feeling I would be given percocet. I read all the horrific side effects down to the praises of a pain free moment. I have had neither. at 9 when he comes in, I am calling and letting him know they do not work for sh*t. M 37 1 days

 2  wisdom teeth (plus) removal more noticeable heartbeat, drowsiness, severe constipation I was taking one 5-325mg every 3 hours. Percocet would somewhat relieve my pain beginning after ca 70 minutes and that effect would last ca 1 hour. Then I would look forward to taking another pill. Pounding (slightly) heartbeat wasn't a factor unless trying to sleep and not much one then as the the Perc made one drowsy. The severe constipation I experienced was a major factor for me, and is the reason I will never take it again. (Severe means mega painful elimination, say half as painful as breaking a leg painful) I would highly recommend that you drink plenty of liquids and maybe add some fiber to your diet when taking this drug. I'd also recommend only taking this drug for a couple of days, then taking something else, to see if you're a candidate for severe constipation. M 50 3 days

 2  Wisdom Tooth Post Extraction Nausea, dizziness, severe headaches Percocet killed the tooth pain effectively, but simultaneously replaced the relief with some of the worst nausea ever...similar to a 4-day hangover and comparable in misery to the tooth pain. All that can be done is to sleep. After skipping the drug for two days, I took half a pill, resulting in a splitting 12-hr headache. The remainder of the prescription is in my trash! It's a tough drug for people prone to nausea. M 37 5 days
