| 4 | post-op carpal tunnel release | Loopy floaty feeling, distanced me from the pain and helped me sleep, difficulty focusing eyes, dizziness, some nausea - I am highly resistant to narcotics due to a genetic quirk of nature, and these work for me. | I am resistant to pain medication and anesthetics and Percocet is what I usually request for post-op pain....this medication is a high-powered narcotic. I usually take it constantly for the first 48 hours after surgery, then switch to only taking it to sleep for 2-3 days, then get off of it. I have a few leftovers that I have used after dual root canals and several other dental procedures. I take one, and sleep for at least 6 hours - I usually wake up ready to function again, even if not at 100%. This medication does NOT usually work well for nerve pain (i.e. sciatica, etc) It is usually very functional for trauma from injuries or surgery. The medication is addictive. For those of you who have posted that you take this drug for recreational purposes, one comment...IDIOT. This drug, like all opiates, will depress your nervous system. If you OD, or take it in conjunction with another downer, like alcohol, your brain will very likely stop many of its most basic functions....l | F | 28 | 6 days | 4/30/2008 | 4 | 4 teeth extracted | itchiness, drowsiness, muscle weakness, nausea (only at first), restlessness, strange thoughts/day dreams, insomnia | Prescribed Oxycodone/APAP 5-325mg. Supposed to be taken 4 hours as needed, but I found myself taking it anywhere from every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 and ended up running out too quickly. Very effective at pain relief while it worked, but effect wore off in less than the prescribed time to take it. Made me feel really sleepy, but I would awake frequently and have trouble getting back to sleep until taking the next dose. I really enjoy the relaxing feeling and can see how people get addicted to this med. I like this drug much better than Vicodin which made me feel so disoriented and nauseous that I'd rather have pain than experience the side effects. | F | 25 | 4 days | 4/28/2008 | 4 | laparoscopic appendectomy | I get light headed, and I dont feel like talking, drowsy, it takes the pain completely away as long as i am not moving around to much, however if i do move it dulls the pain enough so that I can get everything done. | I would not reccommend driving while on this medication. | F | 18 | 8 days | 4/16/2008 | 1 | post-op wrist surgery | none | gave me zero pain relief - then was given vicodin which worked very well. | F | 55 | 3 times | 4/12/2008 | 4 | Fractured clavicle | Itchiness, dreams, mild constipation, can't read for long amounts of time without wanting to sleep, euphoria, detachment, delayed orgasm, cottonmouth, harsh withdrawal, and fatigue | Oxycodone/APAP 5-325mg. Took about three to six a day. Helped with pain, helped me sleep and gave me buzz. But tolerance built up after two days and began to feel crappy in morning (maybe thats cause I ate too much ice cream though). | M | 28 | 4.5 days | 4/5/2008 | 3 | Chronic shoulder pain | Talkative,pounding heart,ITCHY everywhere,addictive,CRAZY dreams,twitching in limbs, constipation. | Insanely addictive.Took the pain away,but withdrawl was awful...pounding headache,anxiety,neck pain,rapid heartbeat,weird dreams,twitching,itchiness,fatigue...the list goes on! I can't take this anymore because of the way I feel so "keyed up" when I take it.So addictive,I was taking it for fun.Sucks. | F | 24 | 2 months | 4/4/2008 | 4 | golbladder attacks | loopy, slow,day dreams, late period. | Worked great for my pain, i never got addicted but it did scare me when i was over 2 weeks late for my period! | F | 18 | | 3/30/2008 | 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 | 3/27/2008 | 4 | Lower back pain | The only side effects I experienced were euphoria and tiredness. | This drug is very easy to get addicted to. I will admit there are times were I take a dose just to feel the euphoric effects. The dosage has to be upped after a while because your body gets used to it. Works very well to relieve pain. REMEMBER, VERY ADDICTIVE!!!! | M | 19 | 4 months | 3/26/2008 | 5 | Chronic Pain from Surgery | When I first began taking it drowsienss, but now it only takes the pain away, no side effects. | I have been taking this off and on for almost 3 years. For me, it is a miracle medicine. It helps so much even after all this time. However!!! Those withdrawls are unbelieveable!!! Do not take more than prescribed, because if you run out early you can not get more, even a day early. Just take this as prescribed and you will be fine. Much better than Vicodin and not as addicting. | M | 35 | 2 years | 3/18/2008 | 5 | wisdom teeth extraction -4 impacted | drowsiness, very mild nausea | This was a life saver. I slept the entire week, and had very mild nausea but not much. I also had no problem comming off the drug, no side effects and I was only 16. Would use percocet again for any major sugery if asked. | F | 16 | 1 weeks | 3/4/2008 | 1 | Root Canal | It's 4 AM, can't sleep, my skin is crawling and I'm using a hair brush to scratch my arms. Horrible. never heard of itching other thang allergy to soap! | Another but this drup | F | 48 | 1 days | 3/1/2008 | 4 | pain & fibromyalgia complications | I was warned beforehand that drowsiness was a predominant side effect, and that it was, though not to the point where I was dropping off in my desk chair at home or at work. Experienced some dry mouth which was easily remedied with UNsweetened iced tea and ice water. Slight numbness of lips and fingertips (kept an eye on that, being diabetic). Some feeling of detachment, not inconsistent with a good alcohol buzz. Pain relief seemed to go hand-in-hand with numbness in otherwise unaffected extremities. | In my experience, using this drug for a two-week period, the worst side effects were the drowsiness 1-2 hours after taking the 5mg/ orally, and then the drymouth. Thankfully the latter is easily remedied with noncarbonated and unsweetened beverages. The percocet did more than vicodin for my deep muscle pain (can walk without my legs feeling like overcooked fettuccini); thankfully I only needed it for a short period of time and got the relief I needed. I can't speculate on long-term usage, but I know I personally wouldn't want a month's RX for this drug simply because I fear becoming dependent. If Aleve or something can get me through the day, I'll bear with background pain, but if it's overwhelming and affecting how I function... I would not mind having maybe half a dozen percocet stashed in my medicine cabinet to keep the demons away long enough for me to be fully functional. | M | 22 | 14 days | 2/28/2008 | 5 | Low back pain, extreme | Some very minor bowel issues. Could not do complex engineering calculations (duh!). | Increased the quality of my life greatly. Was able to do field work where otherwise I would be at home in bed. | M | 36 | 45 days | 2/15/2008 | 5 | herniated disc with muscle spasm | Tired, groggy, nauseated, vomiting, euphoria, sedated and calm feeling | percocet is wonderful, but it mmust only be taken for the shortest time needed as it can be very addicting if you are not careful. It does work very well on pain. | F | 35 | 10 times | 2/14/2008 | 3 | chronic back pain | It takes me alot longer to achieve an orgasm. If i can get an orgasm at all. Which is ok because i am a minute man. Constipation headache itchiness | withdrawl symptoms are horrible | M | 21 | 3 years | 2/9/2008 | 4 | Sciatica and then Post-Surgery Pain | Constipation, Strong Euphoria, became outrageously talkative and "giggly", drowsiness/"crash" after euphoria wore off, difficulty thinking/concentrating. Withdrawl (Insomnia, woke up every 40 minutes at night once I did fall asleep with terrible nightmares and shakes/tremors/"creepie crawlies"...see why in addt'l comments) | I got my back problems from a hockey injury. Due to my age, my doctor hesitated to prescribe any narcotics to me (just muscle relaxers) for my sciatica. It started to get extremely bad (crippling bad) and my parents almost took me to the ED because I couldn't even stand up. At that time, I was talking of suicide. Well, I was closely watched and the next day the doctor had me in his OFFICE. Not even an exam room...his actual office at the hospital. He gave me a script for Percocet 5mg/325mg (and refered me to my primary care doc for 5mg Zoloft until my condition approved with surgery). [Oh yeah, and when I walked into the pharmacy with a letterman's jacket and a script for percocet, it was impossible to get it filled. They don't stereotype or anything...] I took took one or two per day for a month up until it progressed to me being stuck on the floor. They then took me to UH of Cleveland (top 20 spine centers in world) At that point I was in the hospital after surgery taking 2 5/325 pil | M | 17 | 2 months | 2/1/2008 | 3 | C-Section | No side effects until the third day of use. On third day of use I was completely 'out-of-it' and became unable to speak when spoken to or control arm and leg movements. After laying down for several hours, watched by my nurse and husband the effects lessened. I lowered my dose to 1 pill every 6 hours, but again woke up the next night with same side effects. It is like the medication would build up over a period of time and then leave me 'stoned' (as my doctor put it). Also experienced VERY vivid and violent dreams during the time I took this medication. I will likely not use this medication in the future. | F | 25 | 6 days | 1/24/2008 | 3 | slipped disc | excited, love being around people. helped pain but didn't eliminate it. i become very very energetic and makes me work like a horse. if you're a smoker, you'll chain smoke the suckers. the only reason i gave it a 3 is because i have the most Fed up dreams if i take one before bed. the other night i had a dream that Chucky was chasing me around on a 4wheeler throwing cans at me from a food drive. | i recommend not taking this drug before bed. if used recreationally, don't take with alcohol... even though i have before. after being intoxicated once i took one and it made me feel completely sober but i'm sure it's not healthy. | 20 | 2 weeks | 1/18/2008 | 4 | back pain | dizziness | helps with pain , its like a jacuzzi in pill form, ive nicknamed them " Limbas " for RL who became very addicted to them. be careful with this medication. | M | 40 | 6 months | 1/17/2008 |
