| 3 | Rotator Cuff Surgery, Non-Arthro. | I have had some really wierd dreams where i wasnt sure if i was awake or asleep and have woken up in a cold sweat mostly completely, but not sure of what or why... also light hallucinations when im kept up by the drug and in the dark, also DO NOT mix this drug with pot unless you are ready for a possibly hallucinagenic experience (i tried it once a few days after the surgery and it was much like the dreams i have been having having, where i was not sure if i was awake or asleep and time slowed down. It shouldnt hurt you but i wont be trying it again). On a Good note, I have felt light headeness and COMPLETE pain relief. Also a short burst of extreme adgitation by even the most pleasing sounds and people on the come down, but it goes away. The longer youre on it the longer that stage gets though, i assume. | Everyone reacts differently. It does kill the pain. Just be careful and let someone know your on it if you start to freak out. Dont worry, its just the drug f-ing with your mind. youll get your mind back when it wears off. | M | 18 | 2 weeks | 1/9/2007 | 2 | Chronic Back Pain | I found that Percocet did not help my pain! Sometimes I would try 2 at a time and still felt no relief. It is also a constipating drug and I find I cannot sleep well on it. So, with long-term chronic pain this should not be the drug of choice since it didn't help me and I have always felt that you shouldn't put a drug in your systom if it will not do anything for you. Percocet should not be perscribed to those with chronic pain but it may work for those with acute pain. | Doctors should know bettter than to perscribe Percocet to those with chronic pain, This drug does not help to reduce pain as well as other pain killers I have tried. And if you have told your Doctor that Percocet does not touch your pain do not keep letting the Doctor perscibee it because he feels it should be doing the trick. Who feels your pain, you or the Doctor? | F | 43 | 10 months | 1/6/2007 | 5 | Post OP Pain ACDF surgery | The usual "goofy" feeling but after a few weeks of taking percocet it's not as bad. I don't feel like I need to pass out any more. The worst I've been experiencing is major constipation. I started taking fiber tablets and drinking more water which seems to be helping. Hopefully I'll be well enough to stop taking it soon. | Completely wipes out the pain in my arm and neck lasting for about 5 hours per dose. | F | 38 | 3 weeks | 12/30/2006 | 4 | Kindey Stone | Taking just one I got some mild dizziness when I got up too fast, itching in random places, loss of appetite and constipation. Taking two at a time gave me more severe dizziness, drowsiness, a pounding heart beat for a little while with some difficulty breathing. I cut it back to just one at a time. Also dry mouth towards the end, which made my throat a little sore, but drinking more water helped. | Really helped relieve the pain and helped me sleep at night. Made passing a kidney stone much easier! | M | 32 | 3 days | 12/30/2006 | 4 | Deviated septum/turbinectomy surger | Dry mouth, decreased sex drive, vivid dreams | When I take the pill, 30-60 minutes in I feel woozy. If I walk around the house, I sometimes stumble, and will close my eyes only to have very vivid dreams. I was surprised by the dreams and their reality. There were some times where I had a feeling of euphoria, but I also noticed not only diminished sex drive, but more difficulty achieving orgasm. I'm just finishing with the percocet, I assume that side effect will diminish... | M | 21 | 6 days | 12/18/2006 | 4 | herniated discs/bone spur in cspine | Drowsiness, fuzziness and swimming in brain, dry mouth, constipation, weird and vivid dreams. | Had taken a few 5/325 for post op. pain after carpal tunnel and gum surgery and worked great. For nerve pain from cspine problems, it was only moderately effective but helped knock me out so I could sleep. Quickly built up tolerance and needed more frequent and then larger doses. After spine surgery, nerve pain was gone and post op. pain was only moderate so only took one dose at night to help sleep and that did the trick. Advise taking as little as you can stand to reduce tolerance buildup and side effects. Advise taking stool softeners and plenty of water if you get constipated. | M | 50 | 40 days | 12/6/2006 | 4 | recreation | constipation, extreme itching all over body, euphoira, mental clouding, the usual high you get from opiate narcotics. | The "high" didn't last very long. Percocet is a short acting drug | M | 19 | 1 times | 12/6/2006 | 5 | Surgery for ovarian cancer | Percocet worked great on the pain, but I have trouble sleeping and have wierd nightmares. I got a script for xanax to help me sleep and I am fine but groggy in the am. Stopped the Xanax to see if I could get some regular sleep since I was so tired anyway and I am up right now at 4:22am after the most realistic hallucination type nightmares I ever had. I think I will take the xanax tomorrow night till I am able to stop the percocets. I do get constipated but take 1 softlax for each pill and try to eat a lot of fruit and drink a lot of water. | It really controls the pain for me. I can function like a normal person although as soon as it "kicks" in I do get warm and a little overly chatty.They actually make me hyper. I use the extra energy and feeling better to clean and organize do bookwork etc. It is amazing how this drug enables me to function with pain. I am trying to wean down since the pain is not so bad. Two weeks ago I had an abdominal implant and a pic line for chemo installed that was quite painful or I probably would have stopped taking them sooner. The pain is getting less now so I can see me not needing the medicine as much any more. I hope I do not have trouble like some folks have said. | F | 52 | 30 days | 12/1/2006 | 5 | Migraines | dry mouth, itchy nose, euphoria | I use percocet along with caffeine and an anti-emetic for my migraines and this is the first "cocktail" that has worked to keep me out of the ER! I only have to take 1/2 a percocet most of the time to gain relief and be able to go on with my day (after about an hour of rest) - it has been a life-saver! | F | 28 | 18 months | 11/28/2006 | 4 | Shattered Heel (surgery) | Constipation, drowsiness, heat flashes, euphoria | Works fairly well.....takes about an hour to actually kick in and only lasts for about 4 hrs. But it helps me get some sleep when dealing with the pain. | M | 21 | 2 weeks | 11/25/2006 | 5 | chronic neck pain/degenerative disc | Some mild itching and some constipation but no biggie. Allowed me to do cardio w/out pain and I lost over 50lbs. This was like a miracle drug for me. Took away the pain for a few hours and gave me a euphoric feeling at the same time. It allowed me to live my life, work-out, and lose weight. | My Dr. discharged me because my script didn't last the whole month and I was on 4 per day 10/650. I had built up a tolerance to it and felt like I needed more and more. I ended up going to another Dr. that got me off them completely. I would like to get back on them but I just don't want to go through the hassle of searching for a Dr. who is sympathetic to chronic pain sufferers. If anyone can please help me find a DR in the VA BEACH, NORFOLK, CHESAPEAKE area that is OK w/writing scripts for chronic pain sufferers, PLEASE email me. I can't take the pain anymore and my quality of life is in the toilet. | M | 37 | 2 years | 11/22/2006 | 4 | Bilateral knee replacement | Blurred vision, constipation | Percocet does relieve my post-op pain if I take enough of it. The blurred vision has me worried. It's a listed side effect on the patient information sheet, but I haven't been able to find out anything more about it. I noticed the blurring after the surgery and although I can't be sure, I attribute it to the Percocet. I had my vision checked and verified that it had gotten worse. My concern now is whether the vision change is temporary or permanent. | M | 71 | 25 days | 11/18/2006 | 3 | to get high and feel good | I got really really itchy | M | 18 | 5 days | 11/14/2006 | 4 | herniated Disc | This medicine works great for the pain, but is PHYSICALLY ADDICTING and getting off , my decision, makes you relize that there are more ways to cure back pain, weight loss, chiropatic thereapy, adjustments, it hell getting off, but it YOU want to stop, your doctor will help. Coming off this medicine makes me remember documentries about people trying to kick herion, it hurts all over inside and out, be very careful, and if you want your life back, then get it back. Don't quite cold turkey if you've been on it awhile, let your physican help you. | M | 34 | 12 months | 11/12/2006 | 4 | knee surgery | itching, terrible terrible itching. At first I had no idea why I was itching so bad, but then I realized it was the drug. Benedryl will take care of that!! muscle spasam of my jaw. Just suck on some candy or gum | F | 21 | 4 days | 11/6/2006 | 5 | Gall Bladder Removal | Dry mouth , constipation, itchy feeling in random spots the whole time | I know this site is good for explaining side effects, so I really came on here to check about the itchiness. I thought it was the incisions healing, but then it started itching randomly all over. I have 5 small incisions from surgery yesterday and when that morophine wore off, after recovery, I wondered if these perocets would work. Vicoden never did much of anything, but I have to say I was suprised at the effect perocet had on my pain. I feel a little jittery, but I aso take Wellbutrin XL which makes me a little jittery too. This medicine works wonderful, but you can tell when it wears off, that's for sure. Made after effects of my first surgery very tolerable. I did not find this drug to be addictive, but I'm definately staying on it til the pain subsides. It does a wonderful job for that. | F | 33 | 2 days | 11/2/2006 | 1 | post ankle surgery | extreme anxiety, panic attacks | M | 32 | 2 days | 11/1/2006 | 5 | Dislocated knee, DVT & Multiple PE | Euphoria, nice high (improves mood), no pain, feeling like I'm functioning normally, but then the next day I wake up and realize that I was out of it the night before and don't really remember details. Sometimes I get a heavy / rapid heart beat at night. | I can't take T3's alergic to codiene - so DR's prescribed Perc after diagnosed w/PE & DVT and suffering with my knee. First three weeks I took advantage of the "feel good" feelings as I was depresed, but after time I realized that I couldn't remember the last month! I was taking about 5 - 8 per day, now maybe avg. 1 day (if that). Can definitley see how it is addicting!!! Be careful those of you with addictive personalities! | F | 25 | 3 months | 10/26/2006 | 5 | pain from car accident | groggy next day- similar to hangover but not bad | helped the pain where other meds would not; only been taking a few days | F | 38 | 3 days | 10/22/2006 | 5 | Removal of WISDOM TEETH | In a dream like state. Just feeling calm and relaxed. Helped me sleep better. | I find that it isnt taking all of the pain away, but i feel all floaty and relaxed, so its allllll good. it is quite addictive; if u got an addictive personality(like me) I'd be careful how u use these bad boys. | F | 19 | 2 weeks | 10/6/2006 |
