| 4 | tonsils and nasal surgery | itchy, sweaty,irritable and drowsy. | it helped with the pain | M | 18 | 6 days | 8/21/2009 | 5 | Pain relief | Nausea, itchiness, dizziness, fatigue | I love percocet! When I take it i go zoooom and feel happy and when I don't I'm like RAWR D: and I'm very sad :(. It makes my body go to a happy place and all pains go away! | M | 32 | 2 weeks | 8/16/2009 | 5 | elbow Injury | None | i love it! what a wonder drug | F | 20 | 3 weeks | 8/10/2009 | 3 | Relief from Paronychia Pressure | NAUSEA. Hot flash, dizziness. Made me very outgoing though? | It blocked the pain fine, but about 30 minutes after taking it I felt like I was having a heart palpitation -- got really warm and my heart felt "heavy" and got wicked dizzy. Then I got nauseous which seemed absolutely unbearable. I had taken two pills the first time at the hospital so I figured for my next dose, I'd just take one. Same amount of side effects. It worked... but it kinda sucked. | F | 19 | 2 days | 7/26/2009 | 3 | tubal ligation | nausea- hearing noises that aren't there | Day 1 out of surgery took a percocet before bed, had taken 2 previous in day- heard a door bell ring (i don't have one) heard dog barking (don't have one) heard everything but a marching band....very crazy! | M | 37 | 1 days | 7/13/2009 | 1 | pain from wisdom teeth extraction | chest pain, anxiety, throat swelling, fatigue, confusion, nausea, shortness of breath | This drug, in my opinion, is TERRIBLE. I woke up at 4am with severe pain and took 1/2 of the prescribed dosage. Within 30 minutes, I could tell I made a huge mistake. I wanted the medication out of me. I considered forcing myself to vomit in effort to expell any remaining medication. It was as if I was having a bad trip. It gave me anxiety at first. Then after a couple hours I started having chest pain, shortness of breath and swelling of the throat. That lasted pretty much all day. It is now 6pm and I'm still feeling nauseous and the shortness of breath. In addition, I now feel very fatigued and confused. I can't believe I am having this reaction after taking 1/2 of a pill. I have taken vicodin and tylenol and never experienced any of these symptoms. I probably should have gone to the emergency room. | F | 27 | 1 days | 7/1/2009 | 4 | herniated disc/chronic pain | Vivid dreams. Mild constipation. Extreme bouts of hot flashes/sweating. | Don't know if the hot flashes are from the medication or some other cause. Works well for the pain. Dr. has opium phobia and will not give script fo oxycontin. Take oxycodone 15 mg. Cut in half and take six times a day. If I take the whole pill as prescribed, it fades after about 4 hours and then I am screwed waiting around for the next dose time. Smaller more frequent doses helps me make it through the day. | M | 56 | 3 years | 6/16/2009 | 5 | Spinal Surgery | ITCHING. | I had to have three successive surgeries on my cervical and thoracic spine due to a serious motor vehicle accident.I too have a sensitivity to opiates, I get sick as a dog, like the worst cases of the flu you could ever have, in the hospitals when they give me morphine, phentanyl,dilaudid, etc. Demerol was tolerable in the hospital setting(it doesn't kill the pain, it just makes you not care that it is there!) but is not practical, nor desirable to me "out in the world". Post-Op I now find that Percocet is the only serious pain reliever that I can tolerate. It works pretty well. I would not be able to get through Physical Re-Hab without it. I am being very careful regarding dependancy issues. The only real problem I have with it is the ITCHING but I can eat that anytime over the pain. I'm thankful that I have it available to me. | M | 31 | 5 months | 6/11/2009 | 4 | SEVEN HERNIATED DISCS | Severe itching. Some Nausea at times. | Yes, that's right, seven(7), herniated cervical and lumbar discs suffered from a rear end auto collision. Inoperable. I have a problem (not addiction) to opiates. When in the hospital I was given morphine which produced such severe flu-like symptons that I thought I was dying. Dilaudid also makes me ill well past the cost/benefit line. Ditto for Phentanyl. Vicodin does nothing for my pain. Percocet/APAP 10/325 does help, quite a bit, with my pain. The itching can become intolerable at times (it is NOT an allergy but a product of the opioid actions)but the necessity to obtain relief from the pain outweighs the itching problem almost all of the time. It does sometimes make me nauseous but nothing like the Dilaudid or Phentanyl. Some people claim that Benadryl helps with the itching but I do not find that and I try to avoid mixing any medications if I possibly can | M | 52 | 7 years | 6/6/2009 | 2 | Neck surgery, muscle aches/pains | ITCHING - varied from mild to severe. First couple pills, experienced extreme drowsiness, dizziness, and kind of a "f it all" attitude. After getting used to it, it can be very relaxing and calming... but still very itchy. | Not very effective at the pain relieving. Vicodin doesn't work for me, so my doc said we'd try this (something stronger). I wouldn't take it again, the side effects outweigh the little good that it does to help pain. | F | 19 | 1 months | 6/4/2009 | 3 | knee surgery | Euphoria, light-headed, very slight constipation, nausea, insomnia | Took immediately after surgery. Worked well. Now only 2/3 times a week at night. BAD nausea. | F | 45 | 21 days | 6/1/2009 | 5 | broken ankle - 3 places/torn ligame | made me very thirsty (drank a lot of water = hobbling to the bathroom on crutches a lot), constipation, makes me sleepy | i had surgery a few days ago and was prescribed percocet for the pain. from the start i have been VERY careful with this medication because my brother-in-law died of an OD from it earlier this year (i didn't realize exactly what pain med i had been given until i was already home, otherwise i would have probably asked for a different one). the only complaint i have is the constipation, but my orthopedic surgeon told me i could take milk of magnesia for that. about 20 min after i take my dose (2 pills every 6 hours for the 1st 2 days after surgery, but now i take only 1 every 6 hours) i can feel the pain going away. | F | 26 | 6 days | 5/30/2009 | 5 | L5-S1 herniation, multi-level DDD | Mild itching-much less with brand-name percocet instead of generic. and i swear name brand works better. major sweating/hot flashes, shortened temper. | Percocet 10/325 is the ONLY thing that works for my back pain/leg pain besides IV Dilaudid. I have an L5-S1 disc herniation and 70% compression of my neuroforamen. I am seeing the neurosurgeon next week. I also have DDD But it enrages me because of all the red tape i had to go through to get a doctor to prescribe this medicine for me because of all the DRUGGIES and people with MINOR pain/back issues who don't even need it. Oxycodone is IS A "BIG GUN" and should be reserved only for those who truly need it. | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 5/27/2009 | 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 | 5/21/2009 | 4 | lower back pain | The only side effect I find to really bother me is, I don't want to have sex at all anymore. This also bothers my husband! | F | 26 | 1 years | 5/11/2009 | 2 | Severe Abdominal Pain | Dizziness, Drowsiness, Nausea, Vomiting, Euphoria | It only helped with medium level pain (4-6), did not get rid of severe pain. With all of my side effects I would debate whether to take it at all. | F | 19 | 3 weeks | 5/1/2009 | 4 | Foot fractured in 2 places | The famous ITCHYNESS all over my body, constipation, loopy feeling, insomnia, severe hot flashes and sweating. | The side effects may be unpleasant at times but it's the only thing that worked on my pain. They were not bad enough to keep me from taking it when I needed it. It can be VERY addicting so I only take it when I truely need it. Tolerance builds quickly so I always wait as long as I can to take it. And the loopy feeling helps me forget my emotional pain of having 2 stepsons being forced to live in an abusive home and my husband being in Iraq right now. Sounds silly but it helps my anxiety about both situations. | F | 29 | 2 months | 4/24/2009 | 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 | 4/19/2009 | 4 | Gallbladder disease | Euphoria, light-headed, constipation, nausea, insomnia, addiction. | I take Percocet periodically for gall bladder disease. When my gall bladder gets inflamed my whole midsection feels like I've been torn in half. I used to take Tylenol 3, but Percocet seems to work much better. I loved, and still love Percocet. I felt talkative, happy, and an overall euphoria. There was no pain what so ever. I did develop some insomnia, and sleep felt incomplete with periodic waking. I did have a small amount of nausea but this was relieved with a cold glass of water and laying down for a short while. I also developed an addiction to the med and would take it when the pain was easily tolerable with a OTC Tylenol or Advil. I still think its a good product, but would caution against long term use. There are good pain management clinics that offer alternatives. | F | 36 | 6 months | 4/15/2009 | 3 | for c-section pain | weird dreams | worked well | F | 37 | 3 days | 4/15/2009 |
