| 5 | Had 4 wisdom teeth extracted | Slight nausea (only a couple times), dizziness/lightheadedness, sleepy | It definitely did its job. I felt uncomfortable taking this more than once or twice a day after the 3rd day, however, due to it's reputation. But it definitely gets rid of the pain. Side effects were minimal, for me. | M | 21 | 5 days | 1/11/2010 | 5 | surgery for torn ligament in ankle | constipation, mild hallucinations, drowsiness | I found this drug to be very helpful for pain. I was concerned about dizziness and vomiting, so my dr. also prescribed a drug called hydroxyzine pamoate, and I was not dizzy or sick at all. I did have some hallucinations (snakes and worms on the ceiling) and one weird dream. I did not have any pain, mainly just a nice feeling of drowsiness and euphoria. | F | 55 | 4 days | 1/6/2010 | 4 | personal | severe itching, insomnia, weird dreams, hallucination, hearing false things, shaking, over eating, paranoid. | it's a good high, and does take the pain away. (i'm always in pain somewhere in my body) the only thing i don't like is that i am so tired, and i keep falling asleep and hearing noises that aren't there and getting up. it makes you paranoid. | F | 17 | 2 times | 1/5/2010 | 4 | herniated discs and TERRIBLE cramps | itchy, issues with peeing (as in there's less of it less often) | I don't know why but I've always had to be heavy handed when it came to taking meds for any sort of pain. By the time I got to high school, i had to take at least 6 advil at a time to get anything out of them. tylenol never did anything for me. In High School, I was getting these debilitating menstrual cramps and my dad gave me half of a percocet that he had from a shoulder surgery and I found the answers to all my problems. when I've had to go in for various procedures, they've given me other med (the worst case was vicoden that had me extrememly drugged out for a week) and I've always had to have them switch the prescription. Percocet is the only thing that ever works for me on any level. Obviously when i take too much for the level of pain, it gets me high, but the only real side effects are the ones i've listed and i've found that if i take a couple benedryl capsyls that i'm totally fine. The peeing thing kinda stumps me though, so if anyone knows why that's happening, i'd love to hear from them. | F | 25 | 10 years | 1/2/2010 | 4 | neck pain/disc | constipation, euphoria, insomnia, hyperactivity,dehydration and rebound migraines, PAIN RELIEF | I was in the worst pain of my life and the Percocet gave me full relief from my pain. I just need to learn not to take it late at night because I will literally stay up until morning. I found that if I supplement with Motrin in between doses that it helps me with the headaches and pain when I come down. I also noticed that I get irritable when it wears off. Overall, the benefits far outweigh the side effects for me. I could function instead of being stuck in my bed in pain. | F | 28 | 14 days | 12/31/2009 | 5 | Shoulder Surgery (rotar cuff tear) | Nausea, dry mouth | Benefit far outweighs side effects. Dosage was 7.5/325. Eat prior to taking medication and drink lots of water. Controlled extremely painful surgery and helped knock out pain enough to get through physical therapy excercises. I couldn't have done so without this mediction. | F | 44 | 14 days | 12/19/2009 | 4 | neuropathy/RSD | constipation | They definately help with my pain management. I take benedryl along with it and that cures any nausea. I see that many have the itches. The benedryl will also help that. | F | 52 | 2 years | 12/19/2009 | 4 | Hernia surgery | extreme dry mouth, drooling,short-term insomnia,drowsiness,weird dreams | Did good controlling post surgery pain. Worst adverse at night i woke up every 30 to 60 minutes. | F | 24 | 6 days | 12/13/2009 | 5 | Post Neck & Back Surgeries | Itching when Generic was taken, due to the "binders" in the Generic Value. Brand Percocet does not cause itching. | Please eat something, prior to taking Percocet to ward-off the nausea, ie.applesause, crackers, ice cream etc. DO NOT TAKE ON an EMPTY STOMACH, you will become nauseous / or vomit. Nice pain reliever, and wears off in approx 3-5 hours, depending on the person. I take 3 times daily for chronic pain, from failed back surgery and Fibromyalgia. | F | 62 | 12 years | 12/4/2009 | 5 | For Hip Pain & Fibromyalgia | Itching in the beginning but this went away in time. Severe constipation even with lowest dose, but found some help for this through trial and error. Slight hyperactivity. | Just to comment on cutting these pills in half or even thirds: I do this frequently and have no ill effects or "buzz" from it. I have found that I do better on small doses spread throughout the day and have no problems doing this...I know some people do though-so be careful and follow your doctor's instructions. I have taken Percocet off and on without the need to increase the dose - it still works just fine to control pain without making feel drugged or interfering with my life. | F | 59 | 3 years | 12/1/2009 | 2 | Post surgery | Extreme itching and constipation. | The first dose of percocet was okay...until it was time to take the next dose. I experienced itching in eyebrows, vaginal and buttocks, then the itch moved to my ankles, and finally to my incisions. It was severe and miserable. I had to take two benadryl capsules to counteracts the reaction. While percocet relieved me of pain, the itching was worse. I felt like I was going crazy and was going to scratch off my skin. | F | 46 | 2 days | 11/15/2009 | 4 | Neuropathy | The Itch, The Giggles | I like taking percocet - it gets rid of the horrible neuropathic pain I get and gives me a nice buzz. Of course the fun wears off after a while but it does a good job of killing the pain. I've been taking percs on and off for years for different things - from ankle surgery to my recent neuropathy. | 41 | | 11/13/2009 | 3 | Pain relief | Nausea, Vomiting, Hallucinations, light headed | This drug made me feel light headed with some mild vomiting, almost felt like vertigo, couldnt open my eyes with out being dizzy. I couldnt sleep either due to me having hallucinations in my room. Overall, this helped some what with the pain. | M | 19 | 2 days | 11/7/2009 | 1 | viral meningitis | itching, insomnia and horrible terrifying mightmares. | I only took 2 tablets with a 4 hour gap and the last one was at 7pm. I was still awake at 2 and had had several nightmares by 4 and several weird dreams after that. Thats NOT very helpful when you have a severe headache and need REST to recover. | F | 40 | 1 days | 10/14/2009 | 5 | Chronic Lower Back Pain | Itching, nausea, dizzyness and vomiting | I have lower back pain almost all the time, I started by taking hydrocodone which didn't work very well so I found myself taking too many at a time. Percocet is not a miracle pain pill but it works a little better and I end up taking less. | F | 24 | 2 months | 10/8/2009 | 5 | Bronchitis/Flu | Itchyness, Focused way too hard on little things like bugs and people walking on the street, Sleepy, but I did feel that it helped me focus on my work for a little while. | I took it because I was freaking out from my Sickness, and I started sweating real bad and breathing heavy, so my friend gave me one and said it would calm me down. worked like a Charm. | M | 16 | 1 days | 9/22/2009 | 5 | Multiple sclerosis - back pain | None | After trying a number of drugs for pain ... this one was the one that worked for me. I've been on it since 2005 with no problems .. other than after a couple years it doesn't work as good. I have no idea what my life would be like without this drug. I can function like everyone else. The quality of my life is 100% better. Although it does not take all of the pain away it's enough for me. I'm happy I can still walk on my own. | F | 31 | 5 years | 9/22/2009 | 1 | pain after surgery | Emergency surgery, detached retina (in hospital overnight), age 54, at parents home next night, dr. gave percocet; very vivid, frightening hallucinations, so much that I finally MADE myself get up, stay up, drink water rest of night until it wore off. Pain was bad but NOTHING like nightmares! 14 more eye operations (other retina also detached, now high partial legally blind) & doctors know not to give me percocet! | F | 65 | 1 times | 9/22/2009 | 5 | DDD,fibro,costhartitis | none | a good pain med for chronic pain. | F | 48 | 3 years | 9/2/2009 | 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 | 8/29/2009 |
