 3  cramping from miscarriage anxiety, mood swings, constipation, foggy thinking, hungover feeling the following day Taking 1 pill (5-325) every 6 hours helped relieve the cramping, especially after the first day, but each time it took at least 30 minutes to kick in. Unless the pain was really severe, the side effects of anxiety, mood swings and near-paranoia made the medication not worth it-- especially when these side effects lasted into the day after taking the percocet. F 38 6 days

 2  Hearing implant operation. Nasty throbbing headache that slowly (8-9 hrs)went away. I thought the headache was from the operation. The headache followed 5 to 6 hours after taking two 325 mg tablets. M 53 3 days

 4  Spine surgery Horrible, uncontrollable itchiness, especially on my face and nose. Percocet works very, very well for pain, but good lord, does it make me itch! I often hesitated about taking it because of the itchiness it caused, but having had an artificial disc replacement, sometimes I just had to. F 38 1 months

 3  breast reduction surgery nausea, very itchy, racing heart, anxiety, flashing lights(almost hallucinogenic?), weird dreams, tiredness it did help the pain but the side effects weren't worth it. I'd rather have the pain. F 35 7 days

 4  post laparascopic surgery Itchiness and bizarre dreams about zombies. It does kill the pain, but I found that I get itchy with this drug like I do w/ morphine. F 43 1 weeks

 5  Chronic back pain, kidney stones Slight euphoric feeling when I first started taking it, but that subsided after a week or so. I also got a little bit more energy, which was a plus. As with any opiate, it may make you a bit nauseous when you first start taking it, but eating a light meal with help until you get used to it, although taking with food will reduce the effectiveness. Percocet 5/325 has been a lifesaver! I've regained my quality of life and am now able to work and spend time with my family. Before I took Percocet, I was grumpy because of the chronic pain and even got on my own nerves. F 37 7 years

 4  Shattered heel/back; Wisdom teeth If you exceed recommended dosage, naseua and dizziness are possible. Constipation manifests itself within a couple days. After a skydiving accident, I was put on percocet for a shattered wrist, back and heel. I found it to be a more effective pain reliever than MS contin (morphine). I'm currently taking it to alleviate post wisdom tooth extraction pain as a result of breaking my jaw post surgery. I didn't experience any severe withdrawl symptoms, but all of you kids out there getting "high" , get real and get a life. M 28 3 weeks

 4  Wisdom teeth extraction Constipation was the only negative EVERYONE - stop complaining! It is a painkiller. To kill pain you will inevitably experience side-effects. Otherwise man up and deal with the pain. There is no miracle drug that offers pain relief with no side-effects. M 35 4 days

 3  miscarriage, ovarian laparoscopy Stressful dreams, troubled sleep, (discovered at the end of the semester I had registered for a class I had never attended and now had to take the final -- I had this dream five nights running). I find it makes me both groggy and anxious. Percocet was great for miscarriage pain. That and the heating pad allowed me to miscarry at home (which I prefered after a previous D&C). However for really bad laparoscopic shoulder pain it was not enough pain relief to sleep, and after four days of the maximum dose (600 mg Ibuprofen/6 hours + 2 5/325 tables every four hours) and three days of about half that, I am irritable, anxious, having stress dreams, upset stomach. Since I was on high doses for the first few days I have the odd effect of feeling worse (less happy and more injured where the surgery was) now then I did just after surgery, which is discouraging. F 36 7 days

 5  C2 thru C6 Neck Pain Itchiness Great medication for chronic upper neck pain. However, detox is a bitch, so take only when needed, rather than daily. Great medication. It puts you in a total chill state. M 21 5 months

 3  sciatic nerve pain Nausea-had to take half a pill then the other half about 30 minutes later. No matter what the dose the ending result was a dullness of the nerve pain but a major headache. Yesterdays dose (1 pill) resulted in the worst migraine of my life. No more percocet for me. This medication made it very hard to stay awake (which was a problem since I was at work at the time). F 50 3 weeks

 5  Bulging disc Constipation, bloating This medication is a life saver. Going to work everyday without this medication would be impossible. The pain is excruciating because the sciatic nerve is involved. I have to take one around 5:30 in the morning and sit for half an hour or else I can't stand the pain trying to get ready for work. I take one in the evening around 6:00 and I am good for the evening and overnight. This medication allows me to continue working. F 61 3 weeks

 4  For back pain but also to get high Pain for back was completely gone. I felt dizziness but not in a bad way, some small headaches, some shortness of breath for only a limited time after it kicked in. Able to act normal around people, but feeling amazing, but short tempered and impatient. I can see how people can get addicted to this drug, and I have studied the addictiveness of drugs.even though im putting my self at risk. but It’s a great feeling to experience. This was the only time I have ever tried this drug, and I plan to keep it that way for unless in pain. I strongly suggest not taking this drug only to get high. It stimulates a different part of the brain which can make you dependent on any drug you take. Unless your in pain you will not become dependent on this drug only when you decide to take it to prevent pain when your not in pain yet or not likely to have pain you are at risk for dependence.

 4  physical/emotional pain constipation, significant itching, euphoria, relaxation, sense of well-being. As with all opiates, respiratory depression always occurs and is dose related. DO NOT COMBINE WITH ALCOHOL OR OTHER SEDATIVES/TRANQUILIZERS. took for moderate hyperextended knee pain and other stuff..... took 3 generic 7.5mg/325 tablets. Great buzz and relief of pain but short acting(2-3 hrs). I don't advise snorting this drug and do not take with alcohol. This version of the drug contains tylenol, which when combined with alcohol increases risk of liver problems. If you plan on using this drug recreationally or legitmately, be very careful because tolerance/addiction potential develops rapidly. Do not use daily for more than 7 days as withdrawal may develop. Do not abruptly stop using this drug after long term use. I am not a healthcare professional and have no medical training. I am not a junkie either. This info is just from personal experiences as well as other person's experiences. If you develop really bad itching, take an anti-histamine like claritin, benadryl, etc. *THIS INFO IS NOT TO REPLACE THAT OF A DOCTOR/OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.* M 20 5 times
