| 4 | Oral Soft Tissue Injury | Sweating, Sleepiness, pain not completely unresolved | I hurt my gum on nachos during a concert, and I went to the dentist. I was in such great excruciating pain. Pain would shoot up my face, to my nerves, it was the worst pain I have ever experienced. The dentist prescribed antibiotic mouth rinse that caused such burning that I'd nearly cry. The pain felt like I was eating nails, and I was afraid of developing neuropathy in my head. I called the dentist and explained nerve pain, vs bone pain, that lortab wouldn't even hit nerve pain. He gave me a script for percocet. I knew Percocet would hit the nerves. I still don't think dentists would concentrate more on pain control. None of them I've dealt with seem to be wanting to totally relieve pain. For me, Percocet did well. During the day, I broke them in half. That was somewhat effective, but I got very tired, and sometimes,sore. At night, it did well, but didn't seem to last over 4 hours. Neurontin would've completely solve the problem of nerve pain. | F | 49 | 3 days 7.5/500 4X day | 9/29/2011 | 5 | Hip/thigh pain since hip rev surg. | itching, first on calves, now in groin areas. More irritable than when on Vicodin. Energy increase. Mental alertness, paying attention is diminished and mind wanders. Due to this drug and morphine, Severe Constipation is problem but plenty of prune juice helps( I swear by it). I have a 'kewl-, whatever' perspective that I know is a direct result of Percocet. drives a sibling crazy. | This med is really helping me manage chronic pain since a hip revision (femur implant replacement). If not taking, I would be withering in pain, and that is the most terrifying thought for me. Also take Morphine SO4. I can work in my gardens on some days due to Percocet. life saver. Not sure about the addictive part, since I know I have to keep taking a pain med, and this sure seems to be it. Am able to lay and read..., but spend most of my time watching movies , if I do anything else it aggravates pain to be unbearable, but this narcotic drug really takes the edge of, but not rid the pain. I don't know what other do for pain that never goes away and have to be on pain drugs, i am thinking i am stuck, but at least, this drug helps . I take 6 of the 5/325 a day and actually would rather take 8, but Doc will not have it. Dr. has suggested other narc pain killers, but methadone and the like are scary to me. Stick with Percocet. If others have had chronic PAIN since hip surgery I would like to hear from you. Mine was in 2002 w/ rev in 2007. | M | 57 | 4 years 10mg 3X day | 9/28/2011 | 2 | gallbladder removal pain | My face broke out completely in whiteheads. I'm not talking one or two, I mean my entire face is covered in the damn things. The pain normally fades in 5-10 minutes, but it's not worth it. I still had pain in my belly and shoulder, so it didn't do much. They make me super nauseous and itchy, as well. | F | 21 | 4 days 5mg 10X day | 9/14/2011 | 4 | chronic back and joint pain | Euphoria, energy, ability to start moving, made me pee very frequently,itchy, decreased sex drive and sensitivity. | A drug that works, but at a personal cost. Highly addictive, and not for everyone. Withdrawals are terrible...be careful and responsible with these meds. | M | 29 | 8 months 5mg 3X day | 9/5/2011 | 1 | Pain after biopsy | Instant dizziness, then sudden excruciating pain in back and stomach, nausea and shaking. Barely able to breathe from pain. I think it's constipation | F | 26 | 1 days 1X AN | 8/24/2011 | 5 | Chronic body arthritis, ruptured sh | Sometimes constipation at first but learn how to fix it. Energy and willingness to exercise and work rather than sleep through the pain. | This is no more addictive than is coffee to help you start your day. I can't get hooked on this stuff if I tried. It's the only thing that takes away the horrible teeth gnashing pain I get when I am not on it. I've been on and off and yes it has a narcotic effect but it's just a relaxing one. But when pain is lessened I can work instead of laying all day. | M | 51 | 2 years 10/650 4X day | 8/21/2011 | 2 | wisdom teeth extraction | at first helped with pain received after anasthesia wore off from extraction of all 4 of my wisdom teeth, helped me relax and let me sleep for a few hours. lightheaded about one hour after taking a pill, and dizzy. after the second dosage, started feeling itchy but thought nothing of it. after 24 hrs in was feeling itchy all over my body (head to toe and in between all crevices of the body). pain has gone down a bit and currently also taking ibuprofen 600MG for the inflammation. would rather have some pain than all of this uncomfortable itching. also getting winded by climbing up a flight of stairs.. | helped the very first time but caused so much discomfort afterwards. going to stop taking this and continue with ibuprofen instead (and telling my doc about this). | F | 25 | 2 days 5-325MG 4X day | 8/18/2011 | 1 | Back pain | At first I experienced great energy. Energy, and no pain! I hadn't felt that way since I was a child! But it only lasted about 3 days. Then it would depend, I would feel wired or drugged up and dumbed down! And for the rest of the time, even when I took lower dosage it was the same. DRUGGED UP, DUMBED DOWN, one person thought I had been drinking, another told me to stop taking it, because I wasn't ME! I also had nightmares, and fluid retention. | I have suffered with chronic pain for most of my life and I know what it's like to need to try new things, but this is something I would never recommend to anyone. | F | 47 | 9 days 2X day | 8/15/2011 | 4 | Occipital Neuralgia/12 slipped disc | Restlessness begins 15 min. after taking 5 mg that lasts about 6 hrs that then leads to extreme fatigue; excessive itching; feels like I need to eat something to absorb some of the side effects (tend to run low blood sugar too); bloating and constipation | I'm highly allergic to any pain medicine unless it's injected directly in my bloodstream at the hospital. With that said, this dose that I take is only AS NEEDED and it certainly beats going to the hospital and having delayed treatment risking life threatening tachycardia because of episodes that become increasingly overwhelming to my body let alone my heart. Plus, I found out the quicker I am able to "trick" my brain, and thus, counteract the pain mechanism of an episode (which never go away on their own; I've had them for over 3 mos. pre-treatment, which is why I might have cluster headaches as well because the 30-min intervals; on top of “ON” I do get migraines that only respond a bit to Relpax, Imitrex, etc). Anyway, I think everyone should be careful when taking any pain medicine. I do strongly feel that some people have more addictive tendencies than others (I had to leave my husband for this reason) but these people should not be deprived of pain relief, and no one should be persecuted for using something that provides such a benefit where the person can continue to lead a full life to the best of their ability. I do wish some doctors would take better profiles and be more proactive in managing their patient’s dosage like trying to circumvent any abuse by prescribing wkly dosages? As in everything else, moderation is key...excessive use is when it becomes a disease in itself that no one should have to deal with. | F | 39 | 4 months 5 3X day | 8/11/2011 | 1 | wisdom teeth removal all | none | it did not work at all for me | F | 16 | 1 days 1X day | 7/30/2011 | 3 | Femur surgery- 2 DVTs- Nerve damage | it blocked the pain by making me so completely drugged that I wasn't even aware of anything around me. I can see the pros to taking smaller doses, but now my withdrawals are so heavy I cant even function. Be careful while taking this, have someone oversee your dosage as at high levels things get easily confused. | Don't think I was as irritable as I was on vicodin but then again I was totally blacked out while on the percocet. | M | 35 | 20 days 15-20 6X day | 7/26/2011 | 2 | Kidney Stones | On the plus side, it worked very well for the pain. On the minus side: About half an hour after taking, I would fall asleep. I was itchy all over, but particularly on my back, under my arms, and my lower abdomen. It has caused severe constipation. It's been six days since a bowel movement. I stopped taking the drug, I'm so backed up. Now that I've stopped I have a severe headache and INCREDIBLE anxiety about everything. I never felt this before. It's torture. I'm hoping this passes in a few more hours. | Be VERY careful with this drug. It's obviously not for everyone. | M | 56 | 5 days 5-325 2X day | 7/14/2011 | 3 | 2 ruptured disks, spinal stenosis | Rebound headaches with generic versions, name brand percocet fixed that problem. Made pain go away, some itchiness in nose. Emotional anxiety, ups and downs. After prolonged use it really negatively impacted my ability to perform sexually - desire diminished and physical sensation, excitement and response to stimulation diminished dramatically over time. | Worked great for pain, watch the severe headaches. Ultimately long term effects on me psychologically helped me seek alternative pain medication from my doctor. | M | 51 | 3 months 7.5-325 4X day | 7/5/2011 | 4 | After Neck Fusion Surgery | Sensitive to Light, Sound, tiredness, headache | In the hospital I took Percocet 5/325 every three hours with morphine every three hours. (so one or the other every 1.5 hrs) They sent me home with the Percocets saying take every 4 hours as needed. The first day I was home it was not helping at all, the second day it helped a lot. The third day I was just getting a very big headache from it. The fourth and fifth day I cut the pills in half for the day and whole at night, which seemed to work well. | F | 23 | 10 days 5/325 4X day | 6/29/2011 | 4 | hern discs, mastoiditis | fatigue at first, now nothing but relief | It has helped me a great bit. Takes the pain away, and helps me rest. I do not feel tired, or drugged, so I am able to play with my kids still, without interuptions. | F | 26 | 16 months 10 mg 4X day | 6/24/2011 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | Nothing | I am on other medication for Fibro. and am on the max dose. Those meds do not attack the pain or ease it. I am on the last Fibromyalgia med there is in Canada. The rest did not work for me at all. I am a grown woman and had to BEG my doctors to get me this drug. I have been in and out of emergency and this is what they give me. Its the ONLY thing that helps. I only take a half when needed and I can function 100%. It brings the quality back into the life. This should be a level 3 drug, and doctors should not be so afraid to perscribe it to grown adults. | F | 40 | 5 months 325 1X AN | 6/19/2011 | 5 | chest pains | Equilibrium off, itchiness | Super relaxing, helps me think so clearly, never makes me sleepy, just relaxed. | M | 25 | 1 days ? 1X day | 6/9/2011 | 5 | back surgery | constipation and drowsiness | Worked great for my pain after my back surgery. It is very addicting and I knew that when I was taking this drug which is why I made sure only to take it for severe to mild pain. It will also make you constipated so I also took stool softeners which did help me go. Make sure you use with caution and if you think your getting addicted call your doctor ASAP. Hope this helps. | M | 21 | 2 months 3X day | 5/11/2011 | 5 | Wisdom Teeth Extraction | slight nausea, vivid dreams, restless sleep | While I did have vivid dreams and restless sleep, I felt like I had been asleep for a long time when it had only been a few minutes. I remember at night looking at the clock at, say, 2:45AM. Then I would have a very long, lucid dream. And I would wake up right after, look at the clock, and it would only be 2:50AM or 2:55AM. So yes, I woke up a lot during the night. But I also felt very rested after each time. If that makes sense. | F | 19 | 7 days 7.5 mg 3X day | 4/21/2011 | 3 | Pain from duodenal ulcer | Percocet worked great for the pain I was experiencing from a duodenal ulcer... at least in the beginning. I began taking them after receiving the prescription from an ER doctor. Physical dependence occurred quickly. At first I was taking 1 or 2 a day, as needed for pain and made my way up to 3 a day, because I had to have them. After a week and a half, I stopped taking them once I realized I didn't need them as much as I thought I did. BIG MISTAKE. After 36 hours without a pill, I noticed how aggressive I was feeling, along with how emotional and defensive I was becoming. I began taking one a day again at bedtime so I could taper myself off of them... and then I started having nightmares. At first, they weren't really nightmares as much as they were unpleasant dreams. They became increasingly more vivid every night... and this morning around 1 am, I took a percoset for legitimate pain that I was having. I woke up at 5:30 am, feeling as though I was dying. I had a nightmare that my dece | Very addictive, physical dependence can occur in as little as a week. | F | 24 | 18 days 7.5/325 1X day | 3/24/2011 |
