| 5 | Ruptured disk and back surgery | Two of the 5-325 would make me loopy (head spinning, eyes rolling around) in just a few minutes. It did however actually let me sleep sometimes which was a godsend b/c I was in such horrible pain. Mentally I was shot when I was on it, couldn't remember things or think of specific words while trying to describe things. Found some blood in my nose but never actually got bloody nose. I itched some but not too bad, but it definitely relaxed me and made things more bearable. | I had a severely ruptured disk (1cm) at L5S1 which had broken off and was laying on my sciatic nerve. I had constant excruciating pain in the back of my right thigh and lost almost all feeling in my foot. I took percocet for more than a month before they got me in for back surgery and it was alright. However after back surgery when the ruptured piece was removed it was awesome. One 5-325mg Percocet every 4 hours made the incision in my back tolerable, but I had to take 2 every 4 hours to combat the new sciatic nerve pain. Because they had removed what was pressing on my sciatic nerve, now I was getting severe shooting pains up and down my left as feeling returned to it. Sometimes that last hour seemed like hell just waiting on the next dose but once I took it, the pain was lessened and I was actually able to lay down and relax for the first time in over a month. It didn't completely make the sciatic pain go away but definitely made it tolerable and by then the inciscion site hardly hur | F | 30 | 2 months | 1/20/2006 | 2 | Breakthrough pain from AS | Flashes of light in my peripheral vision. | Although it works better for the breakthrough pain from my ankylosing spondilitis than Norco I don't use it because of the light flashes in my peripheral vision. Took it for one month then went back to Norco. | M | 38 | 1 months | 1/10/2006 | 5 | Broken arm pain at night | I wake a few times at night with moderate-severe itching, and it can take a while to get back to sleep. Some constipation. Loss of coordination, so only useful to me when going to sleep. | Very good pain control, and general feeling of euphoria. I like it a lot for sleeping, but need to do something about the itchies. I am taking a dose of 10/325 (much better than 10/650, because you can augment it with tylenol as needed, or take one tylenol a few hours before bed without interfering with the ability to take the percocet at bedtime). Much better than vicodin(hydrocodone) which did nothing for my pain. | M | 50 | 3 weeks | 12/28/2005 | 4 | Post-op Bone Tumor | none | It works. Lortab, tylenol 3, valium, naproxen, ibuprofen, regular tylenol, none of it worked. They were all like pez. Percocet, however, helped significantly. While I was still sore never missing a dose, it has been the most effective painkiller short of an epideral(which worked wonders). | M | 18 | 1 weeks | 12/27/2005 | 5 | Herniated Disk | None | Great drug! I use 3 10/650 Percs a day and it works!!! Those of you that complain and are so anti drug "then don't take it!!!" Have a nice day!!!!!! :) | M | 44 | 5 months | 12/24/2005 | 5 | Knee surgery | Itching, muscle spasams, nausea | Percocet worked very well to relieve my post-op pain, I was on lortab at first and it did absolutely nothing. It is really addicting though. | F | 17 | 2 weeks | 12/18/2005 | 5 | As a street drug | Wake up sweating buckets,completely controlls my life,nausia,severe hedeachs,almost complete loss of intrest sexually and can hardly get up anymore,dizzyness,loss in appetite,over sleeping,severely easily agravated to the point where am abusive sometimes. | I would not recomend taking this drug onless you have a cerious pain issue and when taking it take it ONLY as doctor says.I took about 10-20-30 percs a day for 2 years STRAIT. | M | 20 | 2 years | 12/6/2005 | 3 | Chronic back pain | Nausea when taking generic percocet | I have used Perc since 1996 when my doctor finally agreed that taking 8 tylenol 3 with codeine was killing my liver and making me look like a yellow man-I have tried every strength and have finally gone back to one of the two that works best, 5/325. the great thing about this one is the dosage is more effective when using brand as the narcotic portion is more evenly spread through the tablet as opposed to the generic. As the doctors say, take it before the onset of pain rather than when something flares up. I have made the mistake all too frequently of popping a whole one when all I may have needed is half. The result is dizziness and nausea. The other comparitive meds, at least for me, Vicodin, Percodan, etc. just do not work. | M | 40 | 10 years | 12/2/2005 | 2 | Friend gave them to me for pain | Nausea, hot flashes/sweating, vomiting, anxiety, insommnia | F | 20 | 3 days | 12/1/2005 | 5 | GOUT | THIS DRUG IS GREAT BUT I GOT ADDICTED QUICK I WAS TAKING 120MG PER DAY AND IT WAS HELL TO GET OFF I HAD TO USE VICODEN AND WEEN OFF IT TOOK A WEEK AND I STILL FEEL LIKE SHIT I WAS ON IT FOR 3 YEARS DONT TAKE MORE THEN 1 WEEK OR YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!!!!!!!! | AS ADDICTIVE AS HERION BE CARFUL | M | 40 | 3 years | 11/15/2005 | 3 | D & C Surgery | Only took the medication at night before going to bed. Helped me to sleep, but caused severe constipation such that it added to my cramping from the D & C and sometimes made the pain unbearable. Also, left me with headaches every morning after taking the medicine. I am now on my 6th day of taking it and have a severe migraine today. If suggested to take this medication again, I will decline; especially after a D & C due to the additional cramping from constipation. | F | 28 | 6 days | 10/28/2005 | 5 | breast augmentation | bad itching, but nothing worth stopping...started to need 2 or 3 every 4 hours to kill the pain after the first week. besides the pain, the feeling of total relaxation, and loss of worry was wonderful. Was able to keep my household running. | Doctor was generous with script. i would have kept on them if he couldn't tell by my face that i was feeling just fine post-op. | F | 34 | 1 months | 9/23/2005 | 5 | Headaches 2nd to Neck/Back Injury | Occasional chills. Usually after I've had to take a lot over the course of a couple of days. Once after I took 1/2 of a 10mg tab. It shouldn't be different than the 5mg tabs I usually take, but it seemed to be much stronger. I didn't like the feeling. I'll stick with my 5s. | Best medication I've found to manage my headaches. I start low and move up to see how much I need. I take 5/325s. I'll cut them in quarters if I need to, but through trial and error, I've determined how much I need for the level of pain I'm in. Sometimes a whole tab would just be overkill. | F | 49 | 15 years | 9/21/2005 | 4 | Ankle surgery: tendon repair | light-headeness; dizzy; nausea; constipation; bizarre visions in my head before falling asleep; difficulty reaching orgasm (diminished arousal and interest to begin with) | It works WONDERS to relieve pain. In about 30 mins I can feel the pain just GO AWAY! But then again, so does all other feeling! I've only taken it before bed and during the night, as I am still waking up every 4-5 hours with pain, especially since the cast came off and the pain is worse at night. Last night I took 2 because I overdid it during the day and I wanted to sleep, and I am sorry for having done that. I am going to try other remedies to deal with the night pain because of the way I feel this morning (which is how I found this website): sick to my stomach, dizzy and on the verge of vomiting. I'd rather have the pain in my ankle than the pain in my head. If you need SERIOUS pain relief, percocet really works. But beware of the side effects and take only as little as you need. You can even cut the pill in half! | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 9/4/2005 | 4 | kidney stone | nausea, drowsiness, feeling keyed up, and dry mouth. | kidney stones are very painful. percocet helps a great deal with pain my only complaints are the nausea and drowsiness other than that it is great. | M | 21 | 7 days | 8/14/2005 | 1 | spinal fusion and laminectomy | nausea, itching, sleeping all day, all-around felt like I wanted to die, loss of hand coordination. totally feeling horrible | F | 82 | 2 days | 7/29/2005 | 1 | spinal fusion and laminectomy | nausea, itching, sleeping all day, loss of appetite, all-around felt like I wanted to die, loss of hand coordination. totally feeling horrible | F | 82 | 2 days | 7/29/2005 | 5 | Back pain | felt a little loopy. You might want more but only take when pain is bad. | Take a half pill and it might do the trick. Helps with the back pain. | M | 33 | 6 months | 7/26/2005 | 5 | Hardened bowel movements @ all times | This medicine has saved me for 2 years, 2 months. Without it, every part of my body tingles as if it were falling asleep. The pain in my spine from neck to butt is unbearable! I cannot imagine not having percocet. It gets me through each day, thankfully, so I can still enjoy playing with my children and wife. Highly recommended if back discs are | M | 33 | 2 years | 7/14/2005 | 4 | Myofascia Chronic Pain | slight naseau at first, decreased appetite. | this drug if taken carefully and intelligently can be a life saver. I have been prescribed 7.5 mg extra strenght. I weigh 105 lbs and must have a predispostion to high tolerance becuse my husband weighs 205 and was in la-la land. I have never taken more than 4.5 per day and that has to be a bad day. You have to learn about your own pain. If you take it every dingle tim eyou have pain, you will become tolerant and yet, if you wait until the pain is unbearable it will not wrok effectively. I have never had any withdrawal sympots when I have gone off of it, but again, seems like I am resilient. It manages pain effectively enough but does NOT remove pain, just turns the volume down. | F | 43 | 18 months | 6/14/2005 |
