| 5 | neck and lower back fusion | constipation, weird dreams, itchiness, nausea, headache, sweating | i've been taking the 10's, anywhere from 2 to 6 a day for a year,. it knocks out the pain, and i sleep good, but i'm wondering what the long term use of it does to u. my condition is getting worse, but i cant imagine not having the percs, couldnt deal with the pain. | F | 50 | 1 times | 6/13/2005 | 4 | Lung surgery | I had minimal side effects until I tried to come off it. Nausea, insomnia, chills, anxiety-it worked well for the pain, but is taking me forever to get off it. | F | 45 | 7 weeks | 6/7/2005 | 5 | Rotator cuff tear/Back pain | I have been taking Percocet for two years due to shoulder pain, finally had arthroscopic surgery last month. Works great, better than vicodine. It can be addictive so dont overdue it. It numbs the pain...I wanted to die I was hurting so bad, worse pain that kidney stones. Percocet mellowed me out for about 4-5 hours, used 325 Milligrams once/twice a day. Gave me some weird dreams at times. I now feel like I am having bad stomach cramps or maybe an ulcer from taking these for so long. | If you are in terrible pain I would take these. But don't take them just to get buzzed. | M | 38 | 2 years | 5/21/2005 | 5 | severe back pain, 2 herniated discs | A little more energy if I stayed awake, but if I was in bed, I slept peacefully for once with NO pain. | I have EXTREME back pain at night during the time when I should be relaxed. The pain is so bad, that it was waking me up from 1 am to 4- 4:30 am - and then I was working a full time job during the day. I never believed in pain medicine before this, but I needed something that would help because Advil wasn't cutting it. My doctor is wonderful. I only 1 at night before bed if the pain is bad - and it carries me through the night. Otherwise, I don't take it any other time, because I've heard stories about people becoming addicted to pain killers, and that scares me. | F | 35 | 90 days | 5/18/2005 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain | Very minimal side effects: drowsy and dizziness. | Took Norco for 5 years. Moved up to percocet 10's 4/day. It works great. Knocks out the pain and allows me to function. | M | 46 | 2 months | 5/18/2005 | 5 | Kidney Stones | Worked in making the un beleivable pain bareable. | But remember, you can get hooked easily. Don't take this precaution lightly. Only take it as a last resort to releiving pain. | M | 55 | 4 weeks | 5/14/2005 | 2 | Gallbladder pain/Dental work | Itchiness all over, insomnia | I thought taking the drug before sleeping would knock me out but it did the opposite and kept me awake all night. The itchiness was so bad I was convinced my dog had contracted fleas and given them to me, and then I dreamt about having lice. I itched EVERYWHERE--in my ears, on my head, in my armpits, between my toes. It was awful! | F | 23 | 2 days | 5/11/2005 | 4 | Kidneystone | I felt as if a veil was coming down over my consciousness. Then after only two pills taken over a 10 hour period, I am struggling trying to remember things 4 days later, cannot remember what day of the week it is, and I'm very irritable. I hope these side effects go away soon! Also, due to the pain involved, I became a lunatic wanting to get my hands on those pills (they gave me ONE at 1AM the ER and I was waiting for the pharmacy to fill the perscription for the rest at 10AM, just waiting for the next wave of pain from the kidneystone). Then I drifted in and out of being coherent for a day. Would spend 45 minutes reading a page in a book. I DO think it somehow shielded me from the worst of the pain. | I understand kidneystones are very painful, but it seems like this medication reduced it from a 10 all the way down to a .... 10. Didn't seem to do much for the pain, I was otherworldly possessed, shaking uncontrollably, etc. BUT, I didn't seem to care about the pain, or that I couldn't control my breathing or shaking. IF it actually did help, and I kind of think it did, I cannot imagine the pain of a kidneystone. | M | 46 | 0.5 days | 5/7/2005 | 5 | Broken Femur - Post Surgery | Light sweats, constipation (use laxative to avoid problems) | This stuff is great. Provided real pain relief. Allowed me to sleep, and to do my physio. Gradually reduced dosage, as permitted by pain. After 9 weeks I can stop, with no withdrawl. | M | 44 | 9 weeks | 5/4/2005 | 4 | fibromyalgia and chron myof pain | dependence, addiction, euphoria, weak bladder muscles, nausea, itching | Helped with initial pain range of 7,8,9,10 on scale of 1 - 10, but should be discontinued asap due to addiction and physical dependence. If I am late for a dose, i hurt all over. It has been difficult to wean off this medicine even though I want to. I do not know what I would have done without this medicine, I was in so much pain. But now I am not in as much pain but am addicted to it. | F | 44 | 1 years | 4/28/2005 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain | Taking 10/325 4/day. I feel extremely happy - almost too happy. It's the first time I've had adequate pain relief since 1996. Tried every other pain med, including morphine and oxycontin. This one works. I had forgotten what it's like to live without pain. | I took percocet in the past, but it didn't work well. That was after surgery #4 in 2001. | M | 46 | 1 weeks | 4/20/2005 | 3 | Severe pain following a D&C surgery | Woke up with a TERRIBLE migraine after 2nd night of being on drug (only 5MG a day). Mood swings, bad dreams, nausea, out of body experience, spinning room, drowsy ALL day long. I've been laying in bed all day since i was on Morphine in the ER for severe pain, i have no energy since using drug since Sunday. Drug effect feels wonderful when consumed in early evening, however when consume in early morning i feel like i'm having a bad hangover. While laying down i will dose off then wake up abruptly as if i'm having sleep apnea. When drug wears off pain is much worse and i'm suffering from pain i didn't suffer from prior to using this drug such as leg pain. Pain keeps coming back at the same time like clock work. MUST drink plenty of water as constipation will occur. I'm not very happy with this drug, i can only imagine if i had been consuming a larger dose, yikes. | F | 26 | 3 days | 4/19/2005 | 4 | | 4/17/2005 | 3 | post-surgery pain | Extreme insomnia. Haven't slept in 22 hours. It's 3:30 A.M. and am getting headach. Going to drug-induced insomnia. Excellent pain relief, though don't know if this outweighs the side effect. | M | 55 | 1 days | 4/16/2005 | 4 | 2 herniated discs - lower back | dry mouth, slight cloudy feeling, constipation, slight itching | Has been the most effective drug in relieving the (siatic) nerve pain associated with disc herniation - much more so than Vicodin or Lorcet. But I took this once before for the same problem for a month and did go through a bit of a withdrawl when I did not need it any longer. Be carfeul - I can see how addictions can be formed... | F | 38 | 4 days | 4/12/2005 | 4 | Wisdom tooth gum infection | Ithing (holy cow!); Urination muscles become a little week; Nausea (only if taken on empty stomach). | Great drug if you like feeling like you stoned out of your mind. Kills the pain, but it wears off quicker than the labels claim, so you will wind up taking it more often than it recommends. I am on 10mg (only supposed to take 1 per 6 hours, but I was taking 1 every 3 hours). Make you feel like your great and wonderful, with NO medication hangover type feelings. Would recommend to anyone who has pain that over the counter drugs can't help with. Don't take it if you don't plan on being a trooper and forcing yourself off it at the end. The Withdrawal is a little rough, but one or two nights of tossing and turning should do it--would recommend a sleeping pill for those couple of night while you go through it. | M | 32 | 1 weeks | 4/12/2005 | 5 | post op hernia repair | severe constipation which is very bad for post op for hernia | wish the medical community would have warned me about the constipation and outlined a preventative regimen/prescribed a stool softener. as it is it has set back my recovery due to tearing from pressure to relieve constipation | M | 30 | 7 days | 4/9/2005 | 4 | Fibromyalgia | itchy nose, dry mouth, slight euphoria | It works better than anything else I've tried, but I haven't tried much else other than Tylenol 3 - which now have no effect on me. It does take a full hour to kick in, then disappears 3 hours after that on the dot. I haven't found it remotely addictive, but I can see that it is losing its effectiveness a bit. I take it about twice a day. | F | 38 | 4 months | 4/7/2005 | 1 | wisdom teeth extraction | pounding headache for a full 24 hours after quit taking...even at a still state...it was horrible | F | 31 | 2 days | 4/6/2005 | 1 | pain relief | I had a severe allergic reaction and broke out in redness, heat and blisters from my shoulder area right down to my ankles. It took almost three weeks before it cleared up. | F | 52 | 3 days | 3/26/2005 |
