| 5 | back pain | If percocet works for your pain and makes you sick and vomit you have to reduce dosage. I was given 10 mg but they made my stomach upset but went straight to the pain. So I just had it reduced to 5 mg. Although they say it so addictive, what I've found is if I use them only when in serious pain I don't have an issue. Never felt any 'fun' feeling from them. They just do what the should. They kill the pain. | F | 40 | 3 years 5mg | 3/15/2012 | 5 | Knee replacement surgery pain | Some constipation. Slight slowness of speech. | This med was great for me. Post operative pain from TKR was acute. Had taken Vicodin but it did not help. Had expected more from the TKR as the replaced right knee hurts as much as the old left one. Dr. says all operations are different and to give it time. My question is how long is it safe to continue the Percocet ? It appears that I will be using it for a long time to come, probably years, as pain is rather constant and my osteoarthritis damage is obvious. | M | 73 | 11 months 10/325 3X day | 2/27/2012 | 3 | Fibromyalgia, 2Back Surgery, Lupus | I've been taking percocet on and off for 17 months now and I recommend that if you've had any substance abuse of any kind in the past, this is NOT the medication for you! For first time users there are alot of downfalls to this medication if you do not take as prescribed. ATTENTION!!!! This drug can make you EXTREMELY SICK TO YOUR STOMACH WHETHER YOU TAKE IT WITH FOOD OR NOT! When the medication first kicks in, you will experience a very high-euphoric feeling. An hour later you will be puking your guts out!!!!! | In addition they are highly addictive, that is why I only take them when I absolutely needed to! My prescription calls for me to take it 4x a day, but my doctor prescribes me 90 pills and they last me 4 months. Please be responsible!! This medication also causes you to itch terribly..like a crack head..lol..when the meds wear off you can be extremely irritable and easily angered, and experience a severe migrane. This is your body(not mind) reminding you that you need to replenish the drug level in your blood stream. Thus meaning the onset of physical addiction. And some fail to realize that this is where addiction begins...PHYSICALLY and you dont even understand! Good Luck and please use carefully! | F | 24 | 17 months 5/325 4X day | 2/14/2012 | 4 | Herniated disk/Fibromyalgia | Decreased pain. Sometimes I feel hyper, talking a lot. | I have not had any of the constipation that others have talked about but it could be because I also have IBS and I don't take the Percocet every day. It is wonderful when the pain is so bad that I can't function. Can take it and work with no problem. | F | 34 | 8 months 5/325 1X AN | 2/2/2012 | 3 | appendectomy | Relieved pain but made him EXTREMELY moody.angry, crying, severely irritable. | M | 7 | 1 days 7.5 | 1/27/2012 | 2 | Pilonidal Cyst Excision | Constipation only, no discomfort from it, just a lack of bowel movements | Did not relieve ANY pain, even after a double dose (as directed by my surgeon). I still had severe pain the ENTIRE time I was healing from this surgery. Was not prescribed anything in its place. I will never take this again. | F | 19 | 3 weeks 20 mg 1X AN | 1/19/2012 | 3 | Tooth Extraction | SEVERE CONSTIPATION! Itching all over...made me tired but not enough to fall asleep...the paid came back within 2-3 hours but wouldn't dare take it until at least six hours later...again it will make you SEVERELY CONSTIPATED! A week after I stopped taking them I had the worst stomach pain in live...and didn't notice until that day that I haven't had any bowl movement for the past 3 days...so I took a Citroma (laxative) I have 3 or 4 bowl movement of water and water only...but the pain subsided a little...then a few days later the pain came back and I had to go to the hospital...I was given a enema and laxative and I still haven't had an appropriate bowl movement! I'm currently taking Miralax hopefully everything goes well... Definitely wouldn't use it again... | F | 24 | 6 days 5mg/325mg | 1/17/2012 | 1 | Bunion removal | Dry mouth, energy burst as if I was on adderall not tired just even after just fours hours of sleep! That is being off of it for one day. Circulatory problems in my left foot ( surgery on right) and in my right leg it turned purple with whit spots! Toes went numb burning/ tingling. Didn't get rid of all my pain stillfelt like I was wearing a pair of to tight high heels and walking for hours...painful. Urination problems! I have to push so hard to urinate and it comes out like a horse powerful as of I hadn't gone for days. I have to push to get it out like I have a permanent kegal and can't relax it. Also felt sick nausea. I got off of it. | F | 26 | 6 days 5 | 1/14/2012 | 5 | 3 hherniated discs | None | M | 56 | 7 years 15mg perco | 1/6/2012 | 5 | backpain/terrible toothaches | Slight dizziness, head rushes, nothing serious just the basics of any medicine thats prescribed. | F | 18 | 2 years 4-5/day | 1/2/2012 | 4 | Kidney Stones | Pros; relieved most of the pain (anyone having kidney stones knows how severe the pain is). Made me slightly sleepy, which helped take away from the focus on the side effects. Works very well overall. Cons; Itchyness all over at times, dizziness, slight nausea if not taken with crackers/water. Slow acting. No side effects made me stop taking the medicine. | M | 23 | 2 weeks 10mg | 12/21/2011 | 1 | Miscarriage | My first and last time taking this pill. I started to get dizzy within the first 15 minutes and after a huge headache with nausea. It's been 6 hours and the headache and nausea still haven't gone away. | F | 26 | 1 days 5/325 | 12/19/2011 | 2 | Back injury | Dizziness, migraine, slight hallucinations, uncontrollable shaking, blurred vision | M | 17 | 2 weeks 330mg | 12/10/2011 | 1 | Wisdom teeth extraction | Didnt relieve pain at all. Severe itchiness from head to toe. Couldnt stay/fall asleep. | F | 17 | 4 days | 12/1/2011 | 4 | back pain/surgery | Out of it if you take alot. gives you a dreamy warm feeling which can lead to abuse. getting angry easily after comedown. | i had back problems for years and ive been taking this for years. i started with 5mg/325 3x's a day and got up to 3-4 10mg/325 a day after surgery. they do have some side effects but when your in as much pain as i was its the only thing you can do. the more you take the worse the side effects but i never had terrible withdraws from them, i still get a few now and then when my back acts up and they do work very well for pain and are worth the side effects if your in alot of pain non stop. | M | 20 | 3 years 10 4X day | 11/29/2011 | 3 | 4 wisdom teeth extraction | itching, restless sleep, nausea on the 2nd day | works fast to stop severe pain but I could not stay awake for longer than a half hour even if i tried. I Once i did fall asleep I kept waking up ever two hours or so, did not feel well rested. would have preferred to take something else that would have allowed me to sleep soundly for longer hours | F | 21 | 5 days 10/325MG 5X day | 11/26/2011 | 5 | Knee replacement | Nausea, headache, no appetite. Constipation, horrible dreams itching | At first I would sleep all the time. Pain would come back before next dose was due. Bad dreams began to subside, but hallucinations remained just not as bad. It has been very effective in helping to manage my pain. Less side effects with percocet than with lortabs First time I've ever used this medication. I have high pain tolerance but I still needed help with the pain from surgery. I'm being very careful with it because I've never been addicted to anything and I sure don't want to be addicted to percocet | F | 58 | 35 days 10 mg 5X day | 11/24/2011 | 3 | Tonsillectomy | Percocet gives me horrible nightmares. At first I didn't know if it was this medication until I looked it up and saw that many people had the same side effect. It also made my face itch and made me very delirious. | It works fine for awhile but not something I enjoy taking. | F | 24 | 14 days 10 mg 3X day | 11/16/2011 | 4 | knee surgery | slight eurphoric feeling, some constipation | received injections immediately after surgery and had no pain until following day, pills took pain away but can understand how someone could become addicted because i really liked the way they made me feel | 46 | 7 days 10 4X day | 10/3/2011 | 3 | Knee surgery | It helped alot with the pain after my surgery, I wouldn't have been able to sleep without screaming in pain without it. I liked the fact it knocked me right out, I thought I would sleep my recovery process away and heal faster. It made me extremely itchy around my face and arms, dry mouth, nightmares, SEVERLY constipated, yet the euphoria it provided i didn't mind the negative side effects. I noticed that within a week instead of putting me to sleep it had me wired like I was on cocaine, full of energy and speaking non stop. I took more than I was prescribed, which I got severly nauseous and vomitted then passed out. Before I knew it the doctor said I was all better and he gradually decreased my dose to wean me off. Only problem was, I didn't want to be weaned off. I tried lying that i was still in too much pain, but my surgery was so minor he declined giving me any narcotic pain medications. I took more than prescribed, and eventually I would run out. I never in my wildest dreams thou | Only take if you ABSOLUTELY need it!!! Don't take more than the recommended dose, and if u feel euphoria on it thats the first sign your body is getting hooked. And trust me that feeling doesn't last too long. You don't want to end up like I did, its mortifying, embarrassing and so easily prevented. | F | 27 | 3 months 10/325 2X day | 10/2/2011 |
