 5  27 fibroid tumors removed/ open myo Severe constipation. Didn't have Bowel movement for 10 days. Ended up impacted twice! Had to take oral mineral oil, several fleet enema's, an entire box of Colace and Miralax to finally have BM. However, I had had major abdominal surgery (open myomectomy) which included the removal of 27 fibroid tumors in an open myomectomy procedure with 10 inch surgical incision along with major swelling and pain. After three days in hospital on continuous PCA of dilaudid, I went home and didn't move much for the first two weeks, spending all day and night in bed with only exception being to use the bathroom in which I needed help getting out of bed and back to do so. Also, I barely ate or drank fluids. So, with this said, the extreme constipation was due to all of those factors.. Other than that, no nightmares at all, no itchiness, slept like a baby, happy euphoric feeling despite my traumatic surgery situation. It's a perfect drug for pain relief for severe pain in the short term. I eventually made Great for short term use for severe pain. Have never had chronic pain in my life, so I feel bad for those who need to take it for years.. Definite risk for developing tolerance and addiction. Perfect for short term use for severe pain.

 4  Nerve Damage/Crushing Upp Extremity Constipation in the beginning. It still gets me really tired, fatigue. In the beginning I was taking 20mg every 4 hours which had me in bed most of the time. Now I'm down to 7.5 mg 3 times a day. My tolerance is high but I'm managing and I'm thinking about getting a nerve block procedure so I can get of the meds since my pain is still intense. Overall I'm satisfied with the medication. The only thing I don't like is that it's hard for me to wake up in the morning, and I'm really fatigue until the evening. M 26 2 years

 4  Ant c-spine discectomy and fusion I was warned about constipation so I took stool softeners/laxative along with the Percocet....they were no match. Even took Dulcolax last night...still nothing. Also had mild to moderate itching all over which I did not attribute to percocet until reading these reviews...Mild to moderate drowsiness which was welcomed to help me sleep after surgery. Very effective at pain relief for 36 hours after surgery. Beware of constipation and try to stay ahead of it (if that is even possible). Mild itching all over was not bad after I realized what was making me itch. M 42 2 days

 4  Neck Spurs Constipation, tiredness This medication has helped me, however if you have any substance abuse issues you should stay clear. Your body builds up a tolerance to this pretty quick, in return leaving you to crave more of the drug to get the same effect as when you started. I wouldn't take this more then 2 months due to addiction risk. F 39

 3  c-section & tubal ligation surgery SEVERE, vivid night terrors. Constipation. The medication works well for the post surgery pain. (It works better than the vicoden or ibuprofen) I used Percocet after my last surgery with no problems. This time I am having horrible nightmares. The dreams seem to be more intense if I go to sleep exhausted. Last night the nightmare was so intense that I will not use this medication again. I'd rather be in pain. F 42

 5  Dental surgery Itching, drowsiness, everything sounds louder, some ringing in my ears I had to take this for a few days for pain and swelling in my mouth following oral surgery. It completely knocked out the pain, and knocked me out as well. I slept for twelve hours the first night I took it. I took two together, and it made me extremely drowsy about an hour later. All sounds I heard seemed amplified. Before I fell asleep, I felt extremely relaxed and calm. I enjoyed that feeling of relaxation. The second time, I only took one because I didn't want it to hit me quite so hard. The only side effects I noticed were itchiness and milder drowsiness. This drug is very effective for pain and anxiety. It's easy to see why so many people become addicted. F 33 3 days

 4  herniated discs/sciatica Slight dizziness, mild lethargy. It helps my back pain quickly. I also take Opana ER 30 when I wake up and when I go to sleep. The percs are an experiment by my dr. I was taking Roxicet 15 3 times a day and it demolished my back pain but it made me really stupid acting too because I was high as a kite from it. He said if the percs don't work he was going to stop the Opana and percs and put me on Fentanyl 100s and nothhing else M 29 2 days

 1  Tonsillectomy Percocet makes me dizzy, light headed, intensely nauseous. With the same results with Loratab I was left to endure the excruciating pain with only Ibuprofen 800mg. On the 7th day of post op I did make a visit to the ER after becoming severely dehydrated. OMG, how I wish this drug produced the expected results for me. I have considered a gun!! FYI I have had a compression break of my L4-L5 vertebrae, a torn rotator cuff and broken shoulder and went to school the following day at age 16. I had a hysterectomy/rectocele rotator cuff repair and bone fragment removal in October 2012 and needed no drugs after being discharged. F 42 2 days

 5  fibromyalgia & chronic pain Miracle drug for me. Accident in '96 completely disabled me. Many Drs & failed scripts later, found that oxycontin, percocet & flexeril gave me my life back. Skip to 2013 & no Dr will treat me severe chronic pain with percs or oxy. Even having problems getting anyone to write me flexeril now. My life is a nightmare of rock hard muscles, tmj, nerve pain & more. Family & friends now send me any flexeril &percocet they get so I can sleep, work, drive, be mom & function somewhat normal. I quarter a 10mg perc & take them as needed for pain. I had been getting 30 10mgs perc every 3-6months for over 10 years. I don't get high off my meds, I get a life & work on them. Without them, I'm unable to dress, shower, climb stairs, eat, think, etc. Thank god I have family & friends who give up their meds so I can maintain some semblance of a normal life. Fuck you DEA for taking away our meds so you can shake down Dr Geeks who fold under the threats of losing their licenses so you can stop a small amount of junkies who ruin it for the ones who really need flexeril & oxycodone to function. May you have an accident & get denied pain relief by a Dr you made stop writing pain meds. FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE DEA! BTW, I have never ever gone into withdrawal since I don't take ANY meds when their is no pain. When I am in a flare, I beat myself up for taking more than a quarter of a perc. I wish to die rather than live in so much pain. GET THE DEA OUT OF F 42 10 years

 4  Post surgery Nightmares; nigh sweats; euphoria; general relaxed and feeling wonderful; too much one day causes 'hangover' feelings the next day, drowsy. I've been on Percocet before my last surgery and I would give it a 5 star rating if not for the issues I have at night. During the day I feel wonderful, not only is the pain gone, but I feel euphoric, very relaxed and have a general 'high' feeling. I can see why this drug gets abused....it really makes you feel great! That is until I go to bed. I'm usually exhausted by bedtime but this drug causes night sweats combined with chills. I have terrible nighmares and wake up frequently. If I take too many pills I actually feel 'hungover' the next day. Its a good thing I was only given 50 tabs other wise I could see myself abusing this drug. I truly have a better understanding of the trouble people have getting off this drug. Even bad days feel great when you've got Perc. Best wishes to all who are stuggling to get off. F 40 20 days
