Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Have battled post-traumatic osteoarthritis for years. Over-the-counter medicines not too effective and I have been through all of the other classes of prescription pain relievers. My doctor prescribed Nucynta (synthetic opioid), made me feel tired and most of the pain was still present. Finally switched me to Percocet; it is absolutely amazing. Although there is some pain occasionally, for the most part it is gone, and I have much more energy and my depression has lifted. I have also found that most doctors resist prescribing it and take you through round after round of various pain medicines. With Percocet, I found that it works, and I can finally take control of my pain. My days are filled with more vitality and enthusiasm."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have 4 herniated discs and 4 bulging discs with bone spurs. I am only 46, I clean for a living and need to work. I will eventually need surgery, but Endocet keeps me moving for now free from stomach upset. However, this drug is very addicting and keeps me moving as if I am functioning like a "normal" person. However, my loving doctor is managing this whole process and will help me wean off of this amazing drug that I have the utmost respect for. I don't take anything else and need to stay on this drug until I get through my surgeries and post. I am hopeful that I will eventually no longer need this drug, but it is the only option I have right now to get me through my days. I am afraid, but hopeful the surgeries will help."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have really bad back pain and at such a young age I take Percocet 4 times a day and it allows me to sleep and work where as other medications just made my stomach upset. I would rate it a 9 for the relief it gives you I honestly felt like I could not function anymore I was in so much pain and now I enjoy walking I don't have to stop ever 10 minutes to catch my breath from my pain."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "To anyone who has used or will use Percocet, for the nausea, have your doctor put you on a pill called Zofran. This will help with the nausea. They give it to cancer patients for vomiting. I am a huge believer in the mental help Percocet gives as well as the pain management. Had gallbladder surgery in May 09, and after trying Vicodin, Oxycontin, Dilaudid, Ultram, Percocet was the ONLY one that helped me with the pain. Eat before taking and drink plenty of fluids. This will cause severe constipation, so a stool softener may be needed. Best medicine I have ever taken."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I find when I do take Percocet for my back problems they really help. Stop taking them when I'm not in pain was an issue also. For the withdrawal I would take a few tylenol #2 or #3. Really helped. After a week it was all good and not much withdrawal at all."

"I am filing a complaint with the FDA, this generic Percocet doesn't work at all. I have only ever gotten pain meds for dental work. Percocet has always worked, not this time, This one takes an hour to work and the pain relief only lasts for 30 minutes, then I have to wait another 30 minutes before I can take another one. Every other time I have had dental work I would take one Percocet every 4-6 hours, now I am taking a pill every two hours and I am still in pain for an hour an a half of that time. There is no way this is the same medication. I think Advil would have worked better."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have been taking it for more than twenty years, and it has been a life saver. I had a spinal cord injury, with a brain stem injury in 1998. Since then, I take Morphine Sulfate three times a day, 30mg, as well as the Percocet, 10/325, and am allowed 4 per day. Sometimes it's hard to make it through the month. Sometimes I don't have enough to make it through the month!"

Percocet 10/650 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I had cervical fusion spine surgery with laminectomy 5 years ago and still suffer from chronic pain. By the way, my surgeon went through the back of my neck instead of the front. This has greatly impacted my life in many ways but I have found that the most pain relief I get is from Percocet. The only real downside is that you do get sleepy, so I try to take it only in the evening but if I need to, I will take one during the day. Most people don't understand about chronic pain and as a result of their ignorance tend to be judgmental. My thoughts and prayers are with all who will read this as well as all who suffer with this problem every day."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I was prescribed Percocet 10/325 after a surgery and found it to be extremely effective at relieving pain. For me, personally, the effects lasted around 7 hours, after which I'd usually have to re-dose, at least for the first week after the surgery. Similarly, I found it extremely effective at reducing pain from cluster headaches when a triptan wasn't effective. It's not a recommended treatment for cluster headaches, but I did find it useful as a very last resort. The only two "side effects" were the very pleasant (and often addicting) euphoria from the Oxycodone, and the unpleasant cravings I had for it after discontinuing use. Otherwise, I was very impressed with it."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Had my hand crushed in a machine at work with a total of 15 breaks in my right hand. Was originally on 5/325 Percocet with limited relief. Doc switched me to this today and can already tell the big difference. I can actually function somewhat normal and continue physical therapy."

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "June 2019 - My body hated it! My doctor prescribed Oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325 (Percocet) for pain from bulging disc in my hips and thighs and back. The Tramadol I've been taking for osteo-arthritis and foot pain wasn't helping the hips, thighs and back pain. I took only 3 half-tablets in a 10 hour period and after the 3rd half-tab I started feeling horrible. Dizzy, restless to the point of not sleeping, feeling awful. When I did try to sleep I could not relax at all, and the really sad part is - the pain in my back, hips and thighs never went away so I was suffering from the drug and the pain. Not everyone is going to have bad side-effects but these were mine."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have fibromyalgia and for the past year, I've been struggling with pain. My doctor was very hesitant about giving me Percocet, being that I am only 22 and was without diagnosis for a while, but after being diagnosed, has given it to me without a problem. It works wonders, and although it doesn't last as long as I would prefer it to, it makes it so that I can resume some normal activity. My life is back for the most part."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I'm 19 years old, play college football, and this medication really gave me my life back after battling with severe groin pain (I'm a male) from a sports injury. There were times where my pain level exceeded a level 10, and Percocet brought it down to a 3-4, a level where I can function. My doctor said it's best to take this medication BEFORE your pain gets severe. It's called "catching up with your pain", and really makes a difference."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have to say that these pills are a miracle when it comes to pain. The reason I wanted to post my review of Percocet is because of the very, very, vivid dreams. I actually just woke up and had a dream that scared me half to death. I really and truly thought that I saw my wife cheating with another man I could not believe it, you guys have no idea how REAL it felt. So just letting you guys know."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Ok so you probably want to take this with food. It made me EXTREMELY nauseous when I didn't. Works well for pain. While many pain meds make a person sleepy, this one has the complete opposite effect on me. It made me extremely energetic/hyper. I had overwhelming urges to "spring clean" the house, garage, and do things I had been putting off. The down side of that, however, is it interferes with my sleep and I can't take it at bedtime. It's ok for daytime pain for me."

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Percocet 5/325 and 10/325 were the only things that allowed me any rest and relief when I had a pinched cervical nerve. I only had to take Percocet for 4 days and did just fine on Motrin and Tylenol after that severe period, but I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t stashed them from my c section in 2002!!! No doctor will write for them for fear of prison and it’s absolutely disgusting that people have to suffer as a result. I’m so glad I still have several in case God forbid I should ever need them again for severe unremitting pain."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "This medication was a lifesaver for me. I have chronic back pain and nothing else helped me deal with the pain, which caused me to also be depressed. Percocet allowed me to be normal and function; it did not make me drowsy at all. Unfortunately, my doc wants me to take a break from it. I know it's good for my liver to stop, but it really helped with the pain. I would NOT recommend this medication to anyone who drinks alcoholic beverages!"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I had a re-treatment of an infected root canal and after 4 days of increasing pain I had finally hit my breaking point on Sunday night. I was crying and shaking uncontrollably and was at my wits end! This was the MOST excruciating pain I have EVER had in my life, I never thought a tooth could hurt so bad. I went to an emergency dentist who opened my tooth up and cleaned it out again, and prescribed me antibiotics & 10mg Percocet. After taking the Percocet that night I finally slept after 4 days of sleepless nights. This pain medication is a GOD SEND!"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I was given this for what was supposed to be Tempromandicular joint dysfuntion. It worked for four days. Until the pain became so great I went in crying & shaking. Turned out I had to get my tooth extracted & a bone graft. My filling had cracked and the nerve was exposed & dying. Increased me to 10 mg, not only was my mouth pain free after surgery; my two herniated disc & pinch nerves ; my back, neck & shoulder was almost pain free. I was able to do laundry and cook for my family. Best thing ever after 12 years of no relief. I take the smallest dose 5 mg with the option to take 2 if needed."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Have been taking Percocet 'as needed' for several years, due to neck and shoulder pain from car accident. It does relieve the pain for sure, but I am very cautious about becoming addicted. For me, Percocet gives me a burst of energy, and also a feeling of euphoria. I never take it after 4pm, since it keeps me awake at night."

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Was prescribed percocet 7.5 right after surgery and that dosage worked just fine, six weeks after surgery, PM Dr. lowers dosage to 5-325 because he didn't want me on that dosage for an extended amount of time. Now there is very little relief. At 6 weeks post-OP; this dose is not strong enough to alleviate my pain. Maybe in another 3 to 4 weeks it will be, but not at the present."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have a high tolerance for meds. Percocet 10/325 mg takes my pain level from a 7/8 to a 3/4. I have been on this medicine for over 2 years and it allows me to continue to workout and move around doing my job."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "A life saver, have used them for years when in any major pain (Broken or bruised ribs, broken ankle, major headache etc) They work miracles when taken properly. I usually take them every 4 hours to keep the pain away. 5/325"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "This medication works great for pain and it absolutely changes your mood, which is how people become addicted to it. I think oxycodone should be used as an antidepressant because it works much better than the one I'm taking, but I'm not a doctor. This medicine works awesome for pain, I highly recommend it. I've taken it for over a year and it still works great. I take 2-5mg tablets 3 times daily for severe back pain. Works quickly and has little side effects, makes me a little tired and lifts my mood for sure. Love it!"
