 3  Pilonidal cyst pain Hard to breathe, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, pale face It managed to take away the pain but it felt like I had an extreme cold because I felt as though I couldn't breathe through my nose at all. Also any foul smell immediately made me nauseous. F 17 7 days

 3  foot surgery This pain medicine gave me the most vivid lucid dreams. Also slight light headedness and a little tired but also warm. Even with half a dose. It helps with the pain but not as much as I expected such a strong medicine too. The side effects are more noticeable than the decrease in pain. Hopefully I won't need to take it for much longer. I only use it when the pain is uncomfortable enough and at small doses F 39 2 weeks

 3  I have a cyst on my overy First the medicine would make me very dizzy. Then it would make my ears feel like I was at a high altitude and this would normally last for about 30 minutes or so. My ears would pop 30 minutes later resulting in a major headache. It's good for Making pain go away but at the same time its side effects are really uncomfortable. F 16 10 days

 5  Pain after knee surgery Works great for my pain when it flares up. I did have some constipation at first. I took a stool softener, and haven't had that problem since. I've also had upset stomach at times, but its more than worth it for the relief it provides. M 45 8 days

 1  Total hip replacement post surgery I have migraine headaches and after taking this drug for hip pain for 2 days I noticed I was getting bad headaches everyday, all day. I was having to take my migraine medication everyday and this is unusual for me. Recently I woke up with one of the worst migraines I have ever had. I did some reading about Percocet and discovered that it can cause worsening headaches in migraine sufferers so is not recommended. Apparently it can increase intracranial pressure. One of the listed side effects is headache. I actually did not find the hip pain relief effect to last more than 2 hours. I would not recommend this drug due to the headache side effect and for the short acting analgesic effect. F 58 7 days
