 4  TMJ related pain/headaches Very little side effects - Constipation being the biggest issue This drug has really given me the relief that I have been looking for. I have suffered from TMJ and related issues from the TMJ for several years. The combinaton of Percocet and Soma for a muscle tension really seem to be solving the problems. M 37 1 years

 2  Wisdom Tooth Post Extraction Nausea, dizziness, severe headaches Percocet killed the tooth pain effectively, but simultaneously replaced the relief with some of the worst nausea ever...similar to a 4-day hangover and comparable in misery to the tooth pain. All that can be done is to sleep. After skipping the drug for two days, I took half a pill, resulting in a splitting 12-hr headache. The remainder of the prescription is in my trash! It's a tough drug for people prone to nausea. M 37 5 days

 3  Wisdom Teeth post extraction Dizzyness, Shortness of breath, racing heart rate, sweaty palms and feet, dry mouth I was perscribed Oxycodon (generic percocet) 5/325 tablet to be taken every 4 hours by my oral surgeon. Explaining to him that I had trouble taking pills it was expressed to simply crush it (I know about time release and brought it up but that didn't seem to be a problem when I did). Having never taken an opiate derivative before and nowhere on the directions did it say crushing was bad, I crushed the tablet and took it with fruit smoothie. Fell asleep and awoke about 5 hours later. I took another one as prescribed after I crushed it and took it with a glass of water. Not more than an hour later I started to get sweaty hands and feet, shortness of breath, racing heartrate, dry mouth. This drug ultimately makes you sleep and reduces pain with the acetaminophen. All I can say is crushing it may have lead to the effects I experienced, too bad I wasn't told this nor did I read it till after the fact. Scared the shit out of me, and came close to going to the hosipital given symptoms M 30 1 days

 5  Ankle surgery (2-inch screw ) (With Percocet 5-325) Mostly sweating, slowed breathing and all-over itchiness. My stomach churns, and when reading I get nauseous. I have crazy dreams, sometimes not sure if I am awake or not when I have them. Constipation is serious issue, and pain relief lasts for about 6-7 hours. If I took two within 5 hours of each other, my breathing slows to a scary level, and I am uncontrollably drowsy. Mild hallucinogenic effect if I took too many in a short amount of time. After being on Oxycontin, Vicodin and Morphine, I have found that Percocet has allowed me the most functionality with pain relief. With Oxycontin, I would sleep for 8-10 hours at a time, and on Morphine I felt like I could run a marathon (not good on a broken ankle). Vicodin allowed NO pain relief, so Percocet is a wonder drug! No comments on whether or not I have been addicted, because I am currently on the drug. F 19 7 days

 4  Kidney stones Feeling stoned, slow, braindead. Experienced a weird opiate buzz that I really dislike. This med helped with the pain but wasn't as effective as the morphine they gave me at first. From what I've read, many people use Percocet to trip. I really have trouble understanding how people can abuse it... These pills make you feel like shit especially if you take a lot. I have used drugs recreationally in the past but tripping on Percocet never remotely crossed my mind. M 28 4 days

 5  to get high I get really itchy on my face, irratable, moody, abusive, turned on, talkative, sometimes tired, lack of interest in things i used to enjoy, addictiveness, loss of appetite, "loopy", scared, really intense dreams, out of it, and i pretty much hate the world Percs are my life blood! I got addicted last year because i had a really bad appendectomy. I have not been sober one day since Febuary 4, 06 and it is now march 14, 07. Percs ruined my life. I am already a very easily addict and i know i will never get off it. that is okay with me since i am a druggie anyways but honestly if you know you might get addicted, please dont do it!

 4  fractured vertebrae nausea, vomiting, itchiness, constipation, euphoria at first but quickly wore off, lightheadedness, feeling of ears being blocked up, drowsiness, very groggy in the morning For the first few week taking two 5/325's in combination with 600mg Ibuprofen every 6 hours was very effective in controlling pain. I was tired of feeling so nauseous so I switched to Tylenol 3's which did absolutly nothing for the pain. The first day I switched back to Percocet I vomited all day. After 8 weeks I find I need to supplement with 400mg Ibuprofen to get the same relief. Pain relief only lasts 4-5 hours. I control nausea with ginger tea and light meals. F 43 8 weeks

 4  Migraines I get very itchy and sometimes very agitated when it starts to wear off (around 3 hours) Also, beware of panic attacks if you are predisposed..I've had them while driving while taking Percocet and it was hellish. I've also experienced a hard, racing heartbeat that is worse at night time?? Very strange. Overall an excellent painkiller this is one of the only meds that helps my terrible headaches. I only wish it was longer lasting because it seems to be very short acting. sometimes i can't sleep if I take it too close to bed time. i actually am energetic instead of tired like many of the other reviewers. guess it's different for everyone.

 5  FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES My brain feels as if it's floating in it's own fluids. Percs are really good, especially perc 30's. I took half one night and got crunked as shit. Then I took a whole the next night and threw up. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED! I LOVE THESE LIL PERC PERCS! PERKY WERKY.. 143 <3 M 20 5 days

 2  c-section Dry mouth. Horrible, weird dreams. Feeling "tranced out." I'm bi-polar, so bad dreams and lack of sleep are very bad for managing my condition, especially after just having a baby. I switched to prescription-strength ibuprofen, which is working fine at 3x a day. Do not recommend for nursing and/or bi-polar patients. F 32 4 days

 3  Laminectomy Discectomy Surgery The only real side affect I've experienced is constipation...and a little bit of lightheadedness. For me it does not get rid of the pain entirely. It more or less takes the edge off. I had surgery in the L5-S1 region and was given this for home recovery. It does help me take a good nap in the afternoon and for the most part I sleep ok at night. I wish it did a little bit better getting rid of the pain but I know surgery doesnt always make you pain free. F 26 4 days

 4  regular post OP Pain is basically all gone, senses enhanced, objects appear closer than they are, light looks stronger than it is, and your thoughts are slowed Kept taking leftover pills on weekends... very addictive and just too easy to overdose on. Careful because tolerance goes up real fast and you always think you can take more, until you start trembling uncontrollably and you throw up bile and you feel suicidal F 18 2 years

 5  chronic syatic nerve damage I find it to be the miracle drug. I've taken it on and off for years. The cyatic damage is so severe, without it I can't stand more than five minutes before the pain is totally out of control. My doctor has suggested a morphine implant, but I refuse to go forward with it. I don't have any side effects, I don't get fuzzy or any of the side effects your viewers have listed. I do suffer from constipation, but with the right diet I can resolve the problem. I don't take percocet to get a high, I take it for pain. I find if I totally relax for a day, I don't need it at all. I can find relief with advil. However, I cant spend my time on my butt, so I find percocet to be my choice of drugs. Doctor's told me four years ago I'd be in a wheel chair within two years, so far, I can still get around. I'm 70 years old and truly feel those that get a high from this drug, don't need it! When you suffer from severe pain, you don't get high, just relieved and able to function. Joy F 70 4 years
