Percocet goes straight to my pain and I have sever chronic pain! It does not make me dizzy or nauseated. I HAVE NO side effects and do not feel I need to take more than needed. One would know if you take too much because you would get dizzy or euphoric. Any pain medication that you feel any euphoria, in my opinion, has addictive properties. When Percocet 5/325 or a 10/325 cut in half, relieves m...

I was prescribed Percocet/Oxcodone following my GYN surgery. It had not effect on my pain, just made me sleep for 2 hours. I know several people who have been prescribed this drug and have the same comments. When I called my doctor's office after no relief from the pain, the nurse stated the drug was only meant to 'sedate' me not to relieve the pain. I remember the post-op nurse saying the same...

I have chronic pain for a number of reasons and I find that Percocet is absolutely matchless for reducing pain flareups. I am so grateful for this medication. I'm sick and tired of people blabbing on and on about oh how dangerous it is to take in if you use it very long you're going to be an addict and blah blah blah. Anyone who needs pain control should be able to get it. Doctors have 100% control over how much pain medication a patient is allowed. I cannot take NSAIDs and Acetaminophen by itself does absolutely nothing to relieve pain... might as well take a sugar pill. I am not willing to have more invasive procedures used to "help" with pain. Percocet is easy for me to use, side effects are minimal, and it is nearly 100% effective at relieving my pain issues. The ONLY thing that I have to be careful with while using it is to make sure I am eating a high fiber diet to minimize chances of constipation. That's IT. Yeah, this drug is extremely effective for me and controlling the pain I struggle with every single day of my life.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed it after surgery for severe post operative pain. It worked very poorly; it's not a very strong pain control drug at all. I'd say it only reduced my pain about 40%, just took the edge off, and that only lasted for about 4 hours. But I guess that's for the best because of how dangerous these drugs are anyway, they're like playing with fire when it comes to altering your brain's receptors very fast and making you physically dependent. The rest of the time I managed with almost constant icing and regular OTC pain meds. I was still in a lot of severe pain.Read More Read Less

Severe nerve pain, back, legs, feet, due to nasty fall from a horse. Tried everything, so finally the Dr. put me into pain management, and prescribed percocet. It has literally saved me! At first, it made me nausated, but I found that if I set for a few, the nausea is gone. RX calls for 4 daily, but if just one before bed, I sleep like a baby.

I've been through about at least 6 surgeries in about 3 year span and I was prescribed this medicine one time and it worked and I wasn't a level 10 anymore I became a manageable 6 level . I've took other medicines over the years and Doctors are reluctant to write ANY NARCOTICS even if your in constant pain and severe pain that other otc medicine dosen't help with . I have #7 coming up and I know that he won't help me manage my pain that caused the surgeries , but even from the pain of surgeries. I just hope specialists remember that their job is to help their patients with any pain and make them as comfortable as possible Read More Read Less

Hip surgery. It relieves my pain greatly but makes me incredibly nauseous, to the point I would rather be in pain most of the time than feel so sick.

Prescribed post shoulder surgery, with multiple procedures, including shaving and drilling bone. Worked wonderfully. During week one, only 1 pill required most often, and 2 rarely. Marijuana smoked and in cookies and gummies helped to reduce the need for "conventional" pain meds. Zero need for Percocet after 10 days. Onward, a 10mg THC gummy or cookie after dinner worked to help ease pain, and enable mostly pain free sleep. A very small joint once or twice a week helped with pain too, and enjoyment of a THC high.Read More Read Less

I take this for arthritis and it has helped me for over 15 years. I couldn't take the newer meds, like celebrex, because I had bad reactions to them.

I have ehler-danlos hypermobility, fibro, shogrens,sjogren syndrome, herniated disk in neck and back, chronic rib pain and all over body pain where it hurts to walk lie sit and breathe.. i have been on this over a year x3 a day and because of this drug I am still able to work 6hr shifts and function most days somehow. (Although I am gradually getting worse still) I cannot get out of bed without with and I cannot sleep through the pain without it and I definitely cannot work without it. I break them and use half to take edge off so I still live in chronic pain but not as unbearable but it keeps me on a lower dose and rides me through the day. The side effects are low but I still get a little loopy if I haven't had any food and take a whole one. I wish more ppl understood how life altering pain is and how this type of treatment can give you the ability to function. Even my family is uncomfortable knowing I take it but I know without it I would not want to suffer. I cannot even tolerate lying on a dreamcloud bed my body is so bad most days. Read More Read Less

Have been taking this for 4 years. On 5/325 3 times a day. Have had multiple joint replacements. My back is inoperable with severe Osteoarthritis. My feet, my hips my neck, shoulders are all bad. There is no pain if I remain still but once I move or walk it's goes to a 8 or 9 pain level. I once took too much for pain after I had both knees replaced years ago. I had a bad case of nausea that taught me a lesson . I respect it's power. I have Narcan with me all the time. Anyone taking this daily should have Narcan with them. I am grateful for my pain clinic for their understanding. Xray's don't lie. They take urine samples every 2 months. If they detect any THC they will cut you off. Marijuana is legal here in Colorado but I tried it for pain many years ago and found it ok but not predictable. Another thing is I don't drink alcohol. Don't even think about mixing those two. The only side affect I have is the constipation with Percocet. I take vegan base laxitives. With out this I have NO quality of life. Read More Read Less

The reason the dea is coming down on perocets is because it's easier then trying to stop drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin from other countries. Its job security and less work . That's my personal opinion and I am probably right.

I suffer from chronic neck and back pain along with depression. the depression came when the chronic pain came. i started to not be able to work and function at all. for fifteen years all i did was try to get through my work day and get home to just lay down. I could no longer do the things i enjoyed doing anymore. i was no longer living any king of life. i went to specialists, doctors, everybody, and got no answers. finally i found a doctor who put me on antidepressants and percocet and i cant tell you how much this person saved my life. i was at the point of thinking of taking my own life when this doctor finally came into my life and saved me. between the combination of the meds i now live again. i enjoy life and am doing things i havnt done in years that used to make me so happy. thank god there are doctors out there that still care about saving people. i take 10/325mg of percocet 2pills three times a day and i am like a whole new person. i had side effects at first but they are gone now. my anxiety is down to nothing and my depression is pretty much gone. thank you so much to this doctor who has saved my life.Read More Read Less

I used to use it for horrible menstrual cramps before I found a supplement on Amazon called period lyte that works wonders for me. I loved Percocet because it greatly reduced my pain however I did have side effects that also made me hate it, unless of course that was also my horrible period. It made me dizzy and nauseous.

I broke my tibia and fibula and tore all the ligaments attached to my foot. Also crushed my foot. They had to put all these plates and pins and screws in my leg. I take 1 every 12 hours of the percocet 5/325. So twice a day. It is effective for pain in about 30 mins and last for a good 5 hours. I would recommend it as a rapid way to reduce pain and works well with ice packs. Ibuprofen works well too but they won't let me take it because I have severe osteoporosis in my foot and I'm supposed to jog 1/2 mile a day to break up the scar tissue and to rebuild the bones in my foot. It works well after running a 1/2 mile. But you'll probably still need some ice if you can't take NSAIDS. It really doesn't do anything for swelling.Read More Read Less

I have RA and have had horrible reactions to the biologics. My oxycodone gave me a decent quality of life until the "opiate epidemic" when my primary care physician could no longer prescribe it for me. I had to then go to a pain management group where my medication was cut to less then A quarter of my old dosage and now I am in constant pain,hunched over, partially bed ridden and have to travel over 100 miles every 2 weeks,take my script to the pharmacy at least 5 days prior to my fill date so travel is out, vacations, etc...What a shame that real compliant patients are now treated like criminals made to jump through hoops and practically revolve their lives around getting the medication they truly need, while the drug dealers are dancing in the streets and rolling in money. From what I gather, 1 of my pills costs 30 dollars.I have to pay out of pocket around $150 a month not including travel expenses because my insurance will not pay for opiates. I know I am not alone in my plight and there should be laws that allow for people in my position. Canada has A "rule of exception" for auto immune diseases and true chronic pain patients. Even my dear friend who is in stage 4 breast cancer is fighting for her morphine but the doctors have switched her to high doses of fentanyl which just does not work for her. It's a crying shame and more dangerous than the morphine she was on. We need people to unite and advocate for those of us who really need these medications.It is unfair to make so many suffer because others have issues and the "pill mills" now push the shots. I tried it once in my neck and shoulder and talk about pain, I cried for three days straight and my fingers were numb for months. Never again. I know I am not alone. Anyone else out there with this issue? Read More Read Less
