Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have a primary brain tumor that has spanned the midline (Glioblastoma multiforme GBM4). My prognoses is I have just 6 months to live. I was prescribed Percocet 5/325 while in the hospital to recover from brain surgery about 1 month ago. I take (4) pills per day (2) at a time. Can I become addicted?"

Endocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have experience taking Endecot (10-650 mg) with an anti flamatory medication called Celebrex. Together they work excellent for severe lower back pain. Recently I required a refill and had to go to a different pharmacy which in turn they gave me Oxycodone/Apap (10-650mg)and found no relieff for severe lower back pain. The combination of Celebrex and Oxycodone didnt work. "

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I'm 19 and have chronic TMJ joint pain and clicking. I get spouts of breakthrough pain that disables me from talking, eating, and other things that require mouth movements. I recently had the worst pain ever in my jaw and had to go to the ER. Was given Percocet 5/325, and it took away my pain COMPLETELY and helped tremendously. I've tried Vicodin in the past, but it didn't help my TMJ as much as Percocet does."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I was prescribed Percocet 5/325 for a displaced distal radius fracture. It was great at helping to manage the pain until I could have surgery to implant hardware to keep the fracture in place and dealt with post-op pain well too. Vicodin was the MD's original choice but leaves me wired and sleepless. I've only used this for 4 weeks and am now down to just one tab at night. The primary side effects I've noticed now are some pretty extreme GI distress but have been told this is normal. All in all, this has been a very painful injury, and I'm not sure just what I would have done without consistent pain relief. I do suggest using no more than necessary."

Roxicet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "This medication has been a lifesaver for me. I have lived with pain my entire life. Only after the birth of my twins did it become something I could not live with. Every joint and muscle in my body feels like someone is stretching them out with saver pressure. I am not able to sit still because of the pain, but the more I move, the worse it gets. Frustrating. I cannot take Advil/Aspirin. I could not live nor take care of a family before this medicine. I have no side effects except relief. I am so thankful this drug has literally given me my life back, and I have no side effects, good or bad."

"Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) for Pain: I am hoping to start a discussion about manufacturers. I have this from Amneal Pharma and it sucks. Someone else posted that they had Camber and it sucked but the one from Mallinckrodt is good. I have another med from Camber and it is also bad and switched it to Aurobindo and had no issues. For all of you let's post the manufacturer of the RX you were given. It will be listed on the bottle. Maybe we can find out who to avoid."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I'm a hemophiliac with severe arthritis and due for a right hip and left knee replacement. My entire life, I've lived with chronic pain from bleeding episodes to my degenerative joint disease. I've been prescribed liquid morphine, Dilaudid, Vicodin, morphine sulfate, Tylenol 3s, OxyContin, pretty much everything they've got. But the only thing that truly does help me function in my everyday life without getting too loopy is Percocet. I give it a 10."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Without my Percocet, I couldn't have performed most of my daily functions. I had severe pain due to a herniated disc in my lower back. Usually, I take one Percocet at bedtime with one or two Flexeril (muscle relaxers) in order to sleep without being awakened by pain. In between (i.e., while I'm at work), I use Tramadol with Soma to manage the pain of sitting at a PC all day."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I had been prescribed Percocet for a migraine that I had for 10 days. I was extremely sleep-deprived and desperate to try something new. About 25 minutes after taking the Percocet, I felt extraordinary relief. The best part was I finally got a good night's sleep. This was a miracle drug for me with little to no side effects. I highly recommend Percocet."

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Percocet is the only medicine that gives me relief from chronic back pain, sciatica, trochanteric bursitis, fibromyalgia, and restless leg pain. I don't even waste my time on any over-the-counter medicines. Been using on and off for about ten years. I can quit anytime I want without any withdrawal symptoms. I'm very pleased with the way it works for me!"

Percocet 10/650 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have taken Lortab 10/325 since 2008 for severe DJD and rheumatoid arthritis. It became ineffective. Dr. recently started me on the Percocet 10/650 mg. It has worked so much better controlling my pain."

Endocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "It works better than Lortab, I think. It was getting to where I had to take at least 3 Lortab 10 mg just for my pain to go away. Now I am on Endocet 7.5 mg, and it does wonders. The thing is, medicines scare me because I don't want to get addicted, but I have been taking this medicine for a good long time, and I have just recently been coming off of it, and I haven't suffered from one withdrawal. It's awesome."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Arthritis - A true wonder drug. I've been using it for 10 years, and it has allowed me to function at an optimum level. But the doctors are so wary and suspicious. I get only 40 pills for 3 months and suffer on days I cannot take it. I believe in relieving pain, and this narcotic drug will do it. Nothing else matches it."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I've had two knee replacements since 2005 (same knee) and two surgeries on foot for Morton's neuroma. I've had nothing but problems with both and have been in moderate to severe pain since 2005. After my doc tried several medicines for pain, the only thing that has worked was Percocet. I've been on it for several years, however, I quit for a month and a half, and now I'm back on it. I'm taking 3 a day, and it's absolutely amazing how I can work and function normally while on this. I also believe that not only does it relieve the pain, but I'm alert and have so much more energy, and I'm able to remain productive at 60 years old. I sleep like a baby at night too. Great stuff."

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "When diagnosed with a kidney stone, I was prescribed Percocet 5/325 to manage the pain. A warning that if you don't keep ahead of the pain, it is hard to get back under control. I took a dose 2 hours late, and it took 6 hours to get the pain reined back in. Take it properly, and it keeps the pain manageable."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I am 73. I could not exercise due to arthritis pain. I was advised to have my knee replaced but was not willing because of many other medical problems. I was fearful of further strain on my body. Percocet (5/325) allowed me to return to swimming laps 30-40 minutes a day and to walk 30-40 minutes a day. I only take it before exercising. It is wonderful. My strength has increased and my arthritis is better. My knee has stabilized to some extent."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I was given Percocet recently after knee surgery. After about the 4th dose, I felt hyper, restless, nauseous and had very dry mouth. Worst side effect was extreme throbbing/stabbing lower back pain. I thought it was from just laying around but whenever I didn't take the Percocet I didn't have the lower back pain. Great for pain, but for me it's not worth the side effects I experienced."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Double knee surgeries for sport-related injuries and when I tore the meniscus on my right knee. It was a weekend, and my knee swelled 2 times normal size. The doctor sent me off with Percocet to get through the weekend, and although it didn't cancel out the pain, it was certainly manageable until I could get to my ortho."

"My doctor gave me a prescription for 5/325 oxycodone. I have pain issues from time to time and oxycodone works well for me. When I went to my local Walgreens to fill my prescription filled, I was given pills from a different company. The companies name is Camber. These pills are bad!!! Do not accept them, and for sure do not take them!!! I took one pill at 6am and it made me sick until about 6pm. I then had a horrible headache. The next day I could still feel this poison in my body. This companies version of oxycodone is unacceptable! And downright criminal. Camber sucks!"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Was prescribed generic 10/325 after wisdom teeth removal and it made my recovery a breeze. Took one on a timer a few times a day, as advised by my surgeon, and it almost completely erased the pain. Only downside was that it wore off extremely suddenly (at least for me), so if I missed a dose I'd be met with excruciating pain around the 6 hour mark. I had no side effects other than constipation (which was easily taken care of by an OTC laxative) and pretty extreme drowsiness. I didn't mind that, though, because I needed the rest to properly recover anyway."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have a total hip replacement and a fused ankle due to a motorcycle wreck. So far, this medicine has helped. I give it around 8.5. The side effects I have had are that it makes me sleepy, but other than that, it helps."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I am 23 years old and recently had a medial meniscus transplant on my right knee. It is an exceptionally painful procedure since they must drill into capsule of your joint. Percocet worked wonders for me. "

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "My finger was partially amputated and reattached. Vicodin didn't help the pain, but Percocet is excellent. I only take a small dose, so the pain is not wholly gone, but I don't care once I've taken it. It has made this manageable, and I sleep well, too."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have herniated discs in my lower back from a fall. I generally don't like taking narcotic pain killers, but it gets to a certain point where I would take anything to make the pain stop. That's when I take one 5/325 Percocet. It takes 90% of my pain away when I take it with Motrin. I've tried every non-narcotic pain reliever and had no results. I tried Ultram with high hopes, but it didn't help. It's a shame that because of abuse, this medication is so frowned upon (and hard to get even if you really need it). It's so helpful for me and gets me through days that I would otherwise spend crying or in bed. The only downside is if I have to take it a couple of days in a row, I get constipated. I have no dizziness, high feeling, or nausea."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I had a herniated disc, and at 23 years old, all my doctors were hesitant to prescribe it to me. Finally, one did, and it was amazing how fast and well it took the pain away. I just had a lumbar fusion (L5-L4), and Percocet helped with my recovery pain. Definitely a good medicine, but take as ordered and stop when the pain is gone."
