| 3 | 2 cspine hern discs, osteoarthritis | CONSTIPATION!!! | I've been taking 10/325 up to 4 times a day and it is no longer working. Maybe your body builds up an immunity after a while. | F | 33 | 4 years | 12/4/2008 | 5 | separated shoulder | Loopyness, drowsyness | Currently taking for a separated shoulder, I am only taking it at night so I can sleep comfortably. It works wonders, and I am not worried about addiction, I have been on it before for a broken ankle and broken thumb with no problems. Taken correctly it does its job! | F | 27 | 7 days | 12/3/2008 | 4 | tibial plateau fracture pre/post-op | CONSTIPATION!!! Some mild sedation at times, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing | Percocet works very well for my pain taken every 4 hours. At first it was prescribed by the ER MD for every 6 hrs and it was wearing off before then. My ortho surgeon prescribed it for 1-2 tabs every 4-6 hrs after seeing me though. I only needed 1 tab every 6 hrs before my surgery, but after the ORIF I definately needed 2 tabs every 4 hrs, and still do 1 week post-op. For some reason it works better than plain oxycodone at the same dosage, even when I took tylenol with it. Can't explain that, but all that matters is that it works. The only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is because of the bad constipation, but I just started taking some Miralax, so here's hoping. (I'm only 24 and have never been constipated before, and it is so AWFUL, I never would have imagined it was so bad) | F | 24 | 14 days | 11/30/2008 | 5 | Spinal Injury | Dizziness, Happiness, Wierd Dreams, Strange Sleeping habits, and Irregular eating habits | It is great for pain, but I became dependent very easily, had to be weened off of it. Very hard to quit using, bad withdrawel symptoms, and easy to abuse | M | 16 | 4.5 months | 11/25/2008 | 1 | Knee Surgery | Massive headaches, dizziness, nauseous, itchy head | Ugh, I do not like this medication at all. Constant headache at the temples, irritability. Made me very tired. Would rather take nothing. | F | 37 | 2 days | 11/24/2008 | 1 | surgery on uterus | anxiety, nightmares, dizzy, blurred vision, slowed reactions, flushed skin, itchy, constipation, migraines, emotional (crying), confusion, lathargy | Did not seem to ease my pain much, but did have plenty of unpleasant side effects. | F | 22 | 5 days | 11/19/2008 | 1 | surgery | extremely uncomfortable nausea | I have used this after 2 different foot surgeries. The first time I used it off and on for a week after surgery and just remember hating it. The second surgery was today. I was given a local block anesthetic and a sedative for surgery. When I woke up I felt completely fine except for pain in my foot. I was given 1 percocet for the pain and felt horribly nauseas for the next 5 hours. I hate this medicine. | F | 26 | | 11/14/2008 | 5 | two torn shoulder muscles | slight dizziness,flush feeling of the face, and some difficulty urinating | Percocet has saved my life for my shoulder pain. Ive tried everything motrin, ultram, vicodin, ms contin, and darvocet. This one worked the best other than oxycontin but I was only on that for a month because Its so expensive. That theres not a whole big differene between the two. I would recommend this drug to anyone in moderate to severe pain. Just take it easy with it. Can be addicting, and the withdrawal is not fun. | M | 28 | 3 years | 11/11/2008 | 2 | ankle sprain (grade 2 or 3) | very talkative, felt "drunk" (slight dizziness/imbalance), mood changes (crying for no reason), slight drowsiness | This was given to me mainly for night time since it was extremely hard to get comfortable and I would wake up from the pain if I moved. I had significant bruising from the sprain going from below my ankle to about a 1/3 the way up my leg/calf. I had additional bruising from the actual fall elsewhere too. The side effects of the percocet did not offset the benefits of this pain killer. It caused me to cry for no reason (think television pregnancy mood swings) and made me extremely talkative. Drowsiness wasn't an issue since I wanted it for sleep but it only seemed to affect me if I purposely tried to sleep. | F | 29 | 5 days | 11/8/2008 | 4 | F | 47 | | 11/6/2008 | 4 | 12 spinal reconstructions post MVA | none | If you are taking oxycodone for an extended period you should talk to your Dr about taking a version that is not compounded with either asprin (Percodan) or acetomenephine (Percocet). There are more problems (kidney,liver, etc.) with the compounded versions than with straight oxycodone tabs. My dosage was titrated up to 30mg every 4 hrs, supplimenting Methadone tabs. No tolerance problems or dosage changes necessary for thirteen years. The time-release version (oxycontin) was not effective in controlling spinal or radicular pain. Simple is better! | M | 55 | 13 years | 11/6/2008 | 4 | Ruptured Disc | Very talkative, some constipation, LESS PAIN | Well, I have been taking the percocet for about 6 months now. When I first hurt my back, I was taking 3.25/500mg, now I am up to 10mg/500mg. They really work for the pain, but as time goes on, I need more and higher dose to get any relief. I cannot wait for this to be over with, I really hate feeling dependant on a controlled substance, and I know the dangers of addiction, and it really scares me to think of when I have to stop taking them. | F | 30 | 6 days | 11/1/2008 | 5 | Back Surgery | Nightmares, Sleepy, Headache | I have taken this medicine for a week, but am now having nightmares. They are so bad I can't get back to sleep. My nightmares are heads floating of people I know includnig myself and my mother who has been dead for 26 years now. The little girls faces are cute and then they start having things come out of the sides of their head. Very strange. | F | 49 | | 10/28/2008 | 5 | Broken leg then chest surgery | nausea at higher doses, talkative, energetic, less anxious, sometimes sleepy | I used it w/ my broken shattered leg in spring 07 and I currently have chronic pain from my chest surgery in the spring of 08. I take half a tab of 5mg/325mg and it seems to work once or twice a day. If it is raining maybe a whole tab. It doesn't get rid of the pain completely at all, but it does make it so I can get out and be a functional member of society. I've never taken vicidan, but I know codeine meds make me violently ill and I can't take them at all so this is really my only option for this pain right now. | F | 30 | 6 months | 10/18/2008 | 5 | Migraine | Tolerance builded quickly, constipation. Little drowsiness | This medication kill my migraine instantly, two pills of 10/325 when need it. After a week of use daily (when other pains are added to migraine), I notice doesnt giving me the same effect, so the best is use it when you only need it. | M | 30 | 7 days | 10/15/2008 | 2 | bad back | none, this medicine did nothing for me, not even any side effects. | was put on percocet after 5 yrs on ES Vicodin. To me, the vicodin worked 100% better than the percs. I'm also on duragesic 100mcg patches, have been on this dosage ofr 5yrs, on the patches period for almost 7yrs. Currently, my PM doctor has me on morphine 30mg IR, and that to isn't touching my pain. Am calling today to see if I could get back on the Vicodin or Lortab 10 again. They worked so much better at easing my pain, and are so much cheaper. | F | 38 | 4 months | 10/13/2008 | 5 | broken left humerous (arm) surgery | Constipation. Make sure you drink LOTS of water! Doctors never told me about the possibility of constipation but they should have. I recommend even taking stool softeners and/or laxatives while taking this drug. Other than that light drowsiness but that was part of the pain relief. | LOVED if apart from the constapation. Very easy to get addicted! Take in moderation! I was given 150 pills. I used about 70, don't use what you don't need. | M | 15 | 40 days | 10/9/2008 | 3 | extruded L5/S1 disc w/ fragment | severe itchiness, jittery, talkative | I was on 10/325 for 2 months as needed. At first I hadn't associated the rash with the percs, but then I began to notice it would only start after I took the med. The pain was relieved but the itching would keep me up all night. As soon as I stopped taking them , the rash disappeared. | F | 28 | 3 months | 9/26/2008 | 1 | hand surgery | Don't know about pain relief - all it did was knock me out. And made me nauseous. | Totally don't get the addictive properties of this. This was prescribed to me after a hand nerve surgery two years ago. I can't really speak about the pain relief properties, as all Percocet did for me was to make me nauseous and completely knock me out - an Ambien would do just as well. I still have 37 out of the 40 tabs prescribed after my surgery - from two years ago! I honestly have no idea how anyone can take these on a daily basis and actually function. I know people are addicted to this med, but I just don't get it. | F | 33 | 2 days | 9/25/2008 | 5 | 4 wisdom teeth taken out.... | A faint but nice loopyness, my teeth aren't that painful without them but the percocet gets ride of the pain and then some. I can still walk around and so chores around the house effectivly but I tend to fall asleep when I lay still for too long. | M | 22 | 2 days | 9/19/2008 |
