| 4 | Knee Rebuild after Fracture | Constipation & Dependency | After 3 weeks, your body begins to develop a dependency for the med. Eventually, a higher dose is needed to maintain the pain. | M | 46 | 3 years | 1/12/2008 | 4 | Wisdom teeth removal-all 4 impacted | EXTREMEEEE dry mouth for days after taking, constipation, lightheaded in first hour after taking | I was told to take 1 pill every 4 hours. Worked great for about 2 hours, then slowly got worse until the 4 hour mark. i havent taken a percocet in 48 hours now and the dry mouth is not subsiding. It is absolutely awful dry mouth. But worked for pain, no vomitting or nausea. | F | 20 | 5 days | 1/11/2008 | 4 | C-Section | Itching, disorientation, and bad dreams. | The first few days were fine when I was just itching. But after a week of the stuff I began having horrible nightmares and a lot of confusion. I would still use it again, but only short term. | F | 21 | 10 days | 12/29/2007 | 5 | Post Herpetic Neuralgia | Side effects- itchy, but that can be said for most narcodics.. a bit drowsy.. | Wonderful for helping with the pain. But you must not drive etc.... | F | 46 | 3 weeks | 12/28/2007 | 4 | infected tooth | slight sleepiness. Difficulty maintaining an erection and achieving an orgasm. | Took with food and without food. No neausa either way. | M | 57 | 1 days | 12/20/2007 | 5 | kidney stone | My side effects were feeling warm and tingly inside, more talkative than normal, just loving life and everybody. And that was just in the day time! At night, when I closed my eyes to sleep, I would feel like I was floating around the room, and would see myself smiling. | WATCH OUT! These pills are very,very addictive. They always worked for my kidney stone pain in as little as 15 minutes. That high would last for about 3 hours at its strongest point. I get kidney stones often, atleast one stone every other year and I must say...I look forward to the medicine cuz I know I'm getting percocet. However, the big downfall I hate is when my pills are gone and I still feel like I need them to get through the day, but they're all gone. I then feel depressed, moody, and restless. Usually it takes me a good 2 weeks to bounce back from the withdrawl and then I feel normal again. | M | 37 | 30 days | 12/18/2007 | 4 | chronic pain | No serious side effects noted. I did build up a tollerence and to have dose change | M | 63 | | 12/18/2007 | 4 | herniated disk in lower back | constipation | It worked well for controling my pain. Only lasted about four hours so in the middle of the night had to take another dose. Mostly took it at night to contol the pain so I could sleep. My dose was 1 to 1 and 1/2 10-325 mg tablets. | M | 49 | 60 days | 12/8/2007 | 4 | | 12/8/2007 | 5 | post ankle surgery | Constipation, euphoric feeling followed by extreme drowsiness | I love this stuff! It is very addicting though, and I needed to be weaned off of it. I would recommend this to anyone who suffers from chronic pain; vicodin stopped working for me long ago. | F | 34 | 3 months | 12/6/2007 | 4 | post-lithotripsy for kidney stones | EXTREME drowsiness | within 30 minutes of taking i would feel very relaxed and groggy and would easily fall asleep pain-free | F | 26 | 1 days | 12/3/2007 | 4 | depression | sometime when i took twowithin twohours my body feels comotose, not good. i am on 6 a day | it got me through my worse time of my life how ever i hate being addicted to them, i have beentaking them since i was 6 months pregnant with our second baby. | F | 32 | 2 years | 12/1/2007 | 4 | Extraction of 4 Wisdom Teeth | Drowsiness, itchiness, difficulty urinating and maintaining an erection, makes me smoke a lot more cigarettes than usual, and loss of appetite. | I can definitely see why people may become hooked on this stuff. I was taking Vicodin ES (7.5mg) at first but it didn't help. My oral surgeon switched me to Percocet (7.5mg). When I take one tablet the pain goes away about 50%. If I take two tablets, I feel better but the side effects are increased another 50%. I don't know what's worse - the pain or the damn side effects. | M | 19 | 3 days | 11/23/2007 | 3 | 7 Herniated discs | Started with a vigorous energy and pain relief, and after a few weeks I suffered bad constipation, forgetfulness, and really bad pain when I tried to quit. | If you don't suffer the side effects, it's a great pain killer, but if you do, it is very addictive and tough to kick. Try to take only when absolutley neccesary. | M | 46 | 4 months | 11/23/2007 | 4 | ACL Reconstruction | Dizzy, hot flashes, weird dreams, feeling loopy | I took 1 every 4 hours a week ago and now I am on 3 a day. It takes about 30 minutes to work, but helps with the pain. I can only take it for another week so I am easing off of it. | F | 14 | 6 days | 11/17/2007 | 5 | kidney stones | Severe nausea without zofran or on an empty stomach. Became somewhat talkative. Room would spin out of no where on some days. Constipation when taken for a few days in a row. | Two pills, while making me feel like crap, took care of my kidney stone pain. I can not take this stuff without an anti-emetic or I would be up puking all night. I never had a dependence or withdrawal symptoms with this drug despite having chronic kidney stones on and off for a year. | F | 31 | 4 days | 11/16/2007 | 5 | Endometriosis and Ectopic Pregnancy | 1. Mood: Makes me happy with life and generally enjoy everything and everyone. 2. Takes about an hour to kick in, but dulls the pain enough to make it tolerable. However, pain comes back about 2 to 3 hours after taking pill. 3. Constipation, but this is not a factor when I drink enough water. 4. Extremely comfortable sleep. | This medication is highly addictive. I take it for about 4 or 5 days a month and find it very difficult to put down once I pick it up. I end up giving it to my husband and having him hide it from me until the next month rolls around. | F | 34 | | 11/14/2007 | 5 | L-4, L-5 disc, compressed nerve | Constipation, eventual tolerance where it doesn't relieve pain as well, occassional headache (may not be the perc?) | Works well for lower back pain, doesn't help with nerve pain. Although taking it for over a year, I don't have to take it every day if the pain is less. No noticable withdrawal effects, but prefer to take. Allows me to consistently participate fully in life without chronic pain. | F | 52 | 19 months | 11/10/2007 | 2 | wisdom teeth (plus) removal | more noticeable heartbeat, drowsiness, severe constipation | I was taking one 5-325mg every 3 hours. Percocet would somewhat relieve my pain beginning after ca 70 minutes and that effect would last ca 1 hour. Then I would look forward to taking another pill. Pounding (slightly) heartbeat wasn't a factor unless trying to sleep and not much one then as the the Perc made one drowsy. The severe constipation I experienced was a major factor for me, and is the reason I will never take it again. (Severe means mega painful elimination, say half as painful as breaking a leg painful) I would highly recommend that you drink plenty of liquids and maybe add some fiber to your diet when taking this drug. I'd also recommend only taking this drug for a couple of days, then taking something else, to see if you're a candidate for severe constipation. | M | 50 | 3 days | 11/4/2007 | 4 | shoulder arthroscopy | constipation ..ate fiber to deal with it... good feeling, sleepy | F | 48 | 5 days | 10/23/2007 |
