| 2 | back surgery | Strange sometimes scary dreams...Its hard to get to sleep when you wake up from the dreams. Find an alternate pain reliever. | M | 40 | 30 days | 9/18/2008 | 1 | joint pain associated with a fall | Itchy beyond belief, not only itchy but I developed a visible rash on my arms.Sleepiness to the point of sleeping 18 hours in a day. Abdominal cramps.Moodiness,depression,crankiness,vivid dreams. why would anyone WANT to take this stuff? I did not feel any sense of euphoria at all, only brain dead!! I stopped taking it after two days and swear to never take it again unless,I'm experiencing a 10 on scale of 1-10 of pain! It did get rid of the pain, only because it knocked me out! | only take this if there is no alternative pain relief medication which works for you.TRY something else first. Do not continue to take it, only take it absolutely as long as you need it.Not good for chronic pain.There are so many alternative pain relief medications that work well and do not leave you brain dead, depressed,moody, itching, and cramped up! | F | 56 | 3 days | 9/12/2008 | 4 | Knee Replacement surgury | Severe constipation, weird dreams, chills, some nausea | I am commenting for my wife. I googled for percocet and constipation. and am grateful for the info on this site. Here is the full story, hope it helps someone else. Had Knee replacement surgery 1 week ago. 3 days in hospital, all OK so far. came home. used percocet 5/325 for pain. had to use 2 every 4 hours to get relief. NOTE 1 every 2 hours did not work, after talking to doctors assistant, you need to take 2 to "overwhelm" the pain receptors. Fast forward 2 days. Took 2 Tablespoons milk of magnesia, and 1 D.o.s. stool softener. I don't think she took near enough water. Stopped taking the Percocet that evening, next day, SEVERE constipation and hemorrhoids from straining in previous days. No help from Doctor. No help from Emergency room, other than come on in. Here's what finally worked. Fleet saline enema. that just hurt because of salt??? fleet mineral oil, about 1/3. not much I think she was so plugged up that nothing would have much effect re-filled the | 4 days | 9/3/2008 | 3 | Post surgery pain | Percocet gave me effective pain relief, gave me energy, was talkative, relaxed..at first. Now I am irritable, tired, constipated have no energy and the perscribed dose doesnt work anyore. I have to take them twice as often. Not to mention they are extremely addicting. I had to take myself off them for a while and I was so itchy, anxious, depressed, had twiching nerves, could not sleep. It was a horrible feeling. I recently had to start taking them again and I am up to between 10-12 doses a day. I am dreading trying to get off of them again | Percocet is EXTREMELY addicting because it gives many a false sense of well being for a while, and it works for the pain. After prolonged use you can experience sever constipation. Please be careful and only take them as needed! | F | 22 | 11 months | 9/1/2008 | 3 | Wisdom tooth (4) extraction | Itchiness beyond belief. Nausea. Any type of audible noise (like the phone ringing for example) seemed to be amplified 10 fold. Light headedness. Over all loopy feeling. Anxiety (only after the a couple of days taking it). | I was prescribed Percocet as well as Motrin 600 after the extraction of my wisdom teeth. I was only taking the Motrin at first. Then I developed dry sockets five days after my extraction and the pain was unbearable. At that point, the Motrin did not seem to be doing anything, so I tried the Percocet. Wow. I didn't know which was worse, the pain from my teeth or the crazy side effects that the Percocet gave me. It was awful. They were prescribed to be taken once every 4-6 hours, so I figured that I would continue at least for a couple of days, to see if I could acclimate myself to it. It didn't happen. I continued to feel loopy and nauseous. When I say nauseous, I mean to the point where I had to just go to sleep in order for the medication to wear off. Then it seemed as if every noise was magnified 100 decibels. For example the ringing of a telephone, or a car honking its horn, even the TV volume had to be turned down extremely low. Then I started getting the anxious feeli | F | 28 | 4 days | 8/30/2008 | 5 | Massive Inner Ear Infection | I had been suffering from a massive inner ear infection that had been initially mis-diagnosed as "nothing major" after 2 days my face began swelling and ear began oozing fluid. The pain was excruciating. Went to the ER and the doctor prescribed some drop antibiotics and 5/325 Percocets. Eliminated the pain after approximately 30 minutes of taking them, helped me sleep but I had strange dreams, slightly upset stomach and woke up feeling hung-over (might have been fever symptoms) I'm a big guy 6'0 250lbs and they knocked me out fairly quickly. They also gave me a warm fuzzy feeling that started at my feet and worked its way upward. I also laughed some times at random. Only took them for a 72hr period as the antibiotics reduced the swelling and killed off the infection very quickly. All in all unbelievable for pain with slight draw backs. | M | 23 | 3 days | 8/29/2008 | 5 | Severe Spinal Injuries post MVA | Itching, sometimes severe. | As one surgeon put it, my spine "...is a trainwreck...you're lucky you can walk and control body functions..." Surgical interventions have not relieved the pain. The damage to the nerves is permanent. That said, percocet has been a life saver for me - literally. I am able to control my use and have no fear of dependancy. I have never experienced any side effects other than itching - no feelings of euphoria or being "high" or drowsy. It just does what it is supposed to - relieve the pain. I take doses of 10/325 as needed when I can no longer tolerate the pain. | M | 50 | 6 years | 8/22/2008 | 4 | post arm surgery | definite euphoria! sleepiness about a half an hour after taking, and helped me sleep too. it did help take the pain away a good amount. | i worked really good for me, but hey everyone reacts differently | F | 18 | 1 weeks | 8/2/2008 | 3 | severe back pain (immobile) | sleepy, head spins, cloudy to the point of having to lie my head on my desk to regain my thoughts. | Initially, while in the worst pain, it was perfect. It helped me through the bad spot. I couldn't continue to take it as prescribed, 10mg every 4 hours, I couldn't function. I bought a splitter and began to split them in half. That worked for a few days, not for long. I stopped taking them altogether, for a few weeks. But the pain was more than I could bear, at times. I split them yet again and took a quarter of a dose. They still made me feel cloudy and my head spun, although they didn't make me sleepy at that dose. I stopped them again. I haven't had anything in over a week but I can tell I need something for the pain. I will go back to my doc and tell him I don't want anything that strong. I don't want to be in pain but I want a life more than lying in bed all the time. | F | 54 | 2 months | 7/16/2008 | 3 | Chronic Pain | Headache, ITCHINESS, water retention.....especailly to the face, moodiness, trouble sleeping, seems to release hystamine; allergies, watery eyes, and again ITCHINESS. | Percocet is not a good medication to be on long term for chronic pain. It loses it's effectiveness (tolerance) too quick. After a few days you question "did I miss a dose? I'm in pain!" It also made me moody and cranky. I did not want to socialize or even answer the phone! (I am normally out going =) It totally deminishes any sex drive. I felt "spaced out" and definately not ephoric. | F | 39 | 90 days | 7/16/2008 | 3 | R. A. | When I first stated taking this I experienced terrible itching all over my body and a little constipation (which is easily taken care of). But it gave me the most terrible, sickening migraines which were worse than the pain from the R.A. I was taking it for! Although, it did help ease the pain. | If it weren't for the migraines, the itching was only occassionaly and the constipation I controlled with diet. This was heaven sent as a pain reliver for me. I didn't need it every day and it did not become habit forming. But I also take 75 mg/daily of Topomax for migraines! I cannot take hydrocodone because of the same thing: migraines. | F | 50 | 6 weeks | 7/10/2008 | 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 | 7/1/2008 | 4 | kidney stone | immediate fatigue, some itchiness, slight euphoric feeling while falling into dreamfilled sleep | kidney stone pain is pretty intense, so anything to ease the pain was welcomed. i took the percocet 2 at a time every 6 hours for about 18 hrs, waking up with pain each time they would wear off. i honestly slept for the entire time. i would try to stay awake to watch tv or read a book just to fall back into a really odd sleep with vivid dreams. woke up feeling better, kind of exhausted but the pain subsided for time being. | F | 22 | 2 days | 6/28/2008 | 4 | Hip injury | First was the relief from the pain then euphoria and at tmes nausea. Also very hard to acheive climax during sex. | Great pain reliever if used as directed but if abused can have an adverse effects when withdraw kicks in. I've experienced vomiting, diarea, fever, chills, BLINDING HEAD ACHES, back pain, depression, mood swings, insomnia and unusual blood pressure. I do NOT recomend anyone using this as a recreational drug or for longer than needed simply because of all the negative side effects. I've taken percocet on and off for a few years and now have to take at least two 10/325 tabs just to get relief from my hip pain. It's also quite expensive if you do not have insurance, costing between seventy-five dollars for generic and nine-hundred dollars for name brand Percocet. | M | 23 | 8 months | 6/20/2008 | 1 | post-op surgery pain | Medicine didn't help with the pain. Extremly vivid, horrible nightmares. Headaches. | Taken this medication two different times for two different surgeries. It barely touched the pain both times. My OB/GYN maxed out the meds and I was still in horrendous pain. On top of that, both times I've taken it I've had horrible, scary nightmares and woke up with a bad headache. I won't take it again. | F | 38 | 2 days | 6/18/2008 | 4 | Teeth Implant | Euphoria, Itching, Strange Dreams, Tiredness | Worked great for pain. Felt really chatty and upbeat. It disrupts REM sleep so I feel tired the next day. I only took about 6 of the 30 pills I was prescribed. Then I took 5 over the next 2 weeks to experiment. The last pill I took there was extreme itchiness and little euphoria. I have felt depressed for about 4 days now which has killed any desire to take more. | M | 23 | 1 weeks | 6/8/2008 | 4 | 4 wisdom teeth removed | not too hungry, a little itchy at times, they do help me sleep | They have really helped the pain. I have now be on them for 2 1/2 days, I am glad I have them | M | 34 | 3 days | 5/30/2008 | 5 | Rhinoplasty | Drowsiness, Disorientation. | Very Helpful to ease the Post-Surgery Pain. | M | 33 | | 5/26/2008 | 4 | taylor spatial frame on tibia | loss of apetite, hard to concentrate, felt essentially "high" and it was difficult to function at times, felt myself starting to get addicted, bad constipation | i would wake up every four hours automatically because my body knew that it needed more percocet. It did stop most of the pain, which i realized i actually had after i was off narcotics. I missed percocet for a while, and i weened off of it by lessening the number of doses per day instead of stopping cold turkey. | F | 16 | 14 days | 5/22/2008 | 4 | Chronic Pain | Stomach upset due to tylenol. | Very effective, but tolerance makes small doses more and more inefficient. Will be talking to pain management doc about oxy's next. - And notice how the pathetic 'I take it to get high' are all teenagers/early twenties, god they give people with real pain a bad name. | M | 25 | 1 years | 5/3/2008 |
