| 5 | | 6/2/2006 | 3 | Gallbladder surgery | Extreme itching - and I mean everywhere! I could tolerate between the toes and the feet, but the vaginal/anal area were torture and I totally scratched myself raw. I also had insomnia. | Despite the itching, the pain did go away with this medication. | F | 39 | 6 days | 5/30/2006 | 1 | Kidney Stone | A seizure, muscle twitching. People around me thought I'd died. | Is the worst medicine I've ever had in my life. The pain of the kidney stone was gone in one minute, but 30 minutes later I had a seizure that made me bit my tongue, twitch my legs and arm muscles and fell unconscious. The doctors then told me I was intolerant to opiates NO WONDER!!!!! | M | 31 | 1 days | 5/23/2006 | 4 | medial meniscectomy | it made me feel really nauseous and loopy at first. but the pain was so excruciating i would almost pass out if i tried to move or when i woke in the morning i coldn't move my leg it hurt so bad i never felt pain like that before. i kept a few in my nightstand and took one when i woke up and within 30 minutes i could maneuver out of bed downstairs with much less pain. also helped with my physical rehab. without them i wouldn't have made it through; the pain was too unbearable. | my doc wouldn't precribe them for me after 3 weeks post op and the pain was still so bad i had to buy them from a friend!! 3 months post op now. i am off of them and i walk perfectly. i have early onset arthriitis in my knee but i healed so fast with those things. too bad doctors don't prescribe them when really needed. they are such jerks. thanks to my friend otherwise id still be using crutches. | F | 29 | 12 weeks | 5/18/2006 | 4 | left kneeACL recon& herniated L5S1 | slight itchiness,it makes me chatty and not able to sleep. i took the 10mg for my ACL recon which was years ago, and i now take 2 of the 5/325 for my back... | i've taken percocet on and off for 4 years for different reasons (all medical), and i take them as perscribed. I have never had a problem stopping my medication when I dont need them anymore, but i did notice a slight tolerance when i needed them 2 years down the road meaning i needed a higher dose to dull the pain. I will say that percocet does not get rid of the pain, only masks it, so you have to understand that. This medicine will not cure you.... it will only ease the pain.... | F | 23 | 4 years | 5/18/2006 | 2 | breast implant replacement | Dizziness and horrible headaches 24 hours a day. Nausea any time I tried to get up or eat/drink anything. Itchiness all over. Muffled hearing, constipation, WEIRD dreams, and blurred vision. | I would have much rather dealt with the pain from surgery than the side effects from Percocet. Aweful experience trying to 'come off' the drug even though I was only taking one every 5 hours, and then 1/2 of one on the fourth day. | F | 20 | 4 days | 5/9/2006 | 5 | Hypertrophied Tonsils | Euphoria, Numbness of Extremities, Increased Urination | I'm just taking one when I wake up and one when I go to bed, although if I had enough I would be taking 2 5/325's every 4 hours. I've only been using them for 3 days and I'm already hooked; they eliminate the pain but they are very addictive. | M | 20 | 3 days | 4/29/2006 | 5 | Surgery to Remove an Ovarian Cyst | Itchiness | Eliminated my pain, but made me feel really itchy. Gets addictive after a week or so. Took the 7/325 three times a day. Be careful. | F | 28 | 1 months | 4/19/2006 | 5 | double hip replacement pain | lots of thirst,fear of running out. Feel good when I got a bunch | This is the best pain reliever that I have taken and I have taken a bunch. | M | 51 | 7 days | 4/18/2006 | 5 | to get high | VERY ADDICTIVE! I never felt addiction before until I ran out of Percocet. It was a frightening feeling. I did not like how I felt so I stopped cold turkey and will never take another opiate again. | I did not have a legit Rx I took someone else's unused pills for kicks. If you crush Percocet and snort it you will get a very, very nice opiate high in less than a minute. The bad side is when it wears off. You reach for more. I snorted a lot one night and when I ran out I became so irritable I was shocked. It certainly will knock out low-level persistent pain but be careful. It is very addictive. | M | 21 | 3 times | 4/13/2006 | 5 | M | | 4/7/2006 | 5 | THA surgery and RA | I get extremley tired and lightheaded and itchy. It also seems very addictive but I haven't gotten the "I have to have it" feeling yet. | I have taken Ultram, oxycodone, vicodin, Fetanyl Patches, and morphine and out of all of them Percocet gave me the least amount of side effects and the best results. It's a wonder medicine. | F | 16 | 4 months | 4/3/2006 | 2 | pain from foot surgery | anxiety attacks, constipation, shortness of breath, stomach "churning"; insomnia | It did help the pain, but I would never take it again under any circumstances. | M | 60 | 2 days | 2/17/2006 | 4 | Chevron Osteotomy post-op pain | heart palpitations, depressed respiration, sweating, slight anxiety, dry mouth, constipation | The palpitations were the most disturbing, but it managed otherwise unmanageable pain | F | 27 | 1.5 weeks | 2/15/2006 | 5 | shoulder arthroscopy | some itching, constipation | Percocet alone did not stop my severe pain after surgery until I also took 600mg of motrin. The combo worked extremely well. | M | 65 | 3 days | 2/13/2006 | 4 | Total Knee Replacement | Dreaming, itching, dry mouth at night, | Percocet helped very well as an oral pain med. It took away the knee pain from surgery. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes for it to kick in but does work once it does kick in and last for 3 to 4 hours. I was taking two 5 mg tablets at first but now post op 3 weeks I am only taking one 5 mg tablet. I don't feel like I am addicted as I am still having surgical pain but plan to use them less and less as the pain improves. | F | 56 | 28 days | 2/10/2006 | 4 | migraine | Mild ataxia, mild ringing in ears similar to being drunk. Constipation after several doses. I noticed a possibility to become addicted to this med. | This medicine was alot of fun for me plainly, after taking 5 mg I felt just fine... A little off balance but full of energy and very happy, optimistic. I became very talkative and had that good all over feeling. It gives a pretty clean high too, meaning you can function almost ordinarily. But,sadly, I feel like a day afterwards I want to take the drug again to experience it's effect. so people should watch out for the potential for addiction. | M | 25 | 5 days | 2/6/2006 | 2 | arthrosopic knee surgery | took one in the recovery room on an empty stomach. proceeded to vomit for the next 9 hours (about 20 times total) until it was out of my system. so much for my stomach of steel!! | possible allergy to codeine... ya think?? | M | 37 | 1 days | 2/6/2006 | 2 | Knee Surgery | Nausea, the worst headaches ever, fever, dizziness | I was not a fan of percocet. I was told it was stronger than Vicodin, so I divulged myself in taking it, but experienced some of the worst headaches I have ever encounted. I was on and off it for about a week only taking maybe two pills a day. | M | 23 | 7 days | 2/6/2006 | 5 | dysmenorrhea | Slight dizziness, anxiety, sleep disturbance. Tends to cause nightmares, or confusing dreams where you don't know if you're asleep or awake, or where you are. Because of this, it's better for daytime use, when the side effects are hardly noticeable. Very good for pain management when the OTC stuff just does not work at all. The low level dose (I believe 5 mg is the lowest oxy made) is excellent for handling those more intense pains like sharp backache and migraine, while the medium and high doses should be left to cancer pain and severe injury. Since I take this for about 4 days a month, I have not had any withdrawal or addiction problems. It also does not provide any kind of high or even a buzz at 10 mg, though it will sometimes elevate my mood to a comfortable, pleasant feeling. | I take 5 to 10 mg doses of this, and it effectively eliminates the pain. My pain with this disorder fluctuates from level 4-5, and sometimes the 5 mg dose is not quite enough. I can't take it at night, though, since it causes pounding heartbeat and really wild anxiety. Like Vicodin, it will make my hearing really sensitive, and any sound (especially if I doze off) will sound thunderous and cause a profound, anxious reaction. | F | 28 | 4 days | 2/2/2006 |
