"This is the worst medicine I ever took for pain. The pharmacy told me yesterday they couldn't fill my regular ones anymore and I can't take mallinkrodt because I am allergic. These new ones have not helped with any pain. I had to take Tylenol this morning. Then the pharmacy won't take these back. Disgusting that I have to be in low back, hip and shoulder pain for a month. Our Government needs to stay out of our pharmacies and Dr office"

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "My endodontist prescribed me this med before retreatment of root canal for pain relief. I liked it worked within 20 min, but it made me so drowsy it put me sleep and relieved the pain not more than 3 hours. The pain came back exactly after 3 hours but couldn't take it again right away because it would exceed daily max. I switched to ibuprofen 600mg next day and it worked as quickly as that med did, and the effect lasted about 5 hours and it didn't make me drowsy."

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."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I had my tonsils out a little over a week ago at the age of 30. My doctor prescribed Percocet for the pain and although it helped my severe throat and ear pain almost instantly, it was very hard on my stomach. After 2 days I had to stop taking it due to the amount of nausea I was experiencing. As a pain reliver it worked wonders, just be sure to eat before you take it to avoid upset stomach."

"I received my Camber T194's from Walgreens like many for pain after hip surgery to remove hardware inserted when it was broken. In between I had an appendectomy so this was my third time taking percocet (generic) but 1st time on T194s. I immediately got extremely ill, nauseated with headache and unsteady on my feet. I also developed pain in all of my arms and legs making it hard to use the walker. My surgical pain was not relieved very much. I tried to return the prescription just asking not for my money but to get credit for not using it. Walgreens said that was not possible so I couldn't get another prescription."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "They really need to make this easier to obtain in small quantities; the quality of lifestyle improvement cannot be exaggerated. I suffer from neuropathy, herniated discs, etc... I break pills in half and take 2x day to keep a lid on pain without making me loopy. The ONLY drug or natural treatment that works, and I've tried many. "

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "Highly recommended! No side effects beside the slight dizziness that can be expected with any opiate (always make sure to take it with a bite of food!). Works great, but you'll have to taper off your dosage little by little so you don't experience withdrawal symptoms when you don't need it anymore."

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I been suffering with migraines for months now. I tried the over the counter meds none ever works. My doctor gave me migraines medicines still never works and I decide to go to the E.R. and they gave me Percocet 5/325 and it was great. It's a great pain killer ever."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I take oxycodone 10/325 2 x daily for pain management. I have ulner steroid degeneration in both wrists along with rheumatoid arthritis as well. After surgery on both hand/wrists I was left with severe pain. The medicines make it tolerable as I work 90 percent of the day on a computer. I do have stomach acid from the medicines but take over the counter acid reducer for that. It has been a year since taking the medicines and I feel much so much better. My Dr does see me to evaluate the pain every six months."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "25 teeth pulled and Percocet or Lortabs were the only medicines that would make life, let alone eating bearable. Unfortunately Doctors like to put you on it long enough to become accustomed to living as pain free as you can, then cut you off. Withdrawals are the worst for about 5 days and the mental part of it is much worse. "

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have a rare bone disease called osteonecrosis which basically means bone death. I've had to have both hips replaced and both shoulders and soon I will have my knees replaced as well. I'm only 40 years old and my condition has made daily living very difficult. Percocet 10/325 has been a blessing, what a huge difference it has made for me. I can do things I haven't been able to do in years and has helped with my depression from chronic pain and the things I'm able to do now I feel useful again."

"I broke 2 ribs and got the prescription from ER. Filled at Walgreens, took one and no effect or even relaxing feeling that opiates usually provide. Looked it up online and found out this is not unusual for this generic brand. I'll be complaining to Walgreens corporate. In meantime will augment with ibuprofen and hope for the best. Won't allow any pharmacy to fill any prescriptions by this manufacture, no matter what it is for"

Percocet 10/650 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have tried many different pain medicines and this one seems to be the best at temporarily taking away my pain and making it possible for me to continue to work. All Percocets 5mg, 7.5 mg and 10mg work better than much stronger pain medicines like Oxycontin."

"I developed shingles and tried other pain medications. None worked until this. I want to point out that in no way is this a daily way of life pill. It is intended for use in pain. I only received one weeks worth, thats all I need."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "12 years ago I helped a so-called friend move a a tablesaw and that thing weighed 200lbs I weighed 150lbs, the problem was he dropped it and next thing I fell on the concrete. I've been in pain ever since. I'll take either Oxycodone Apap, or Norco Hydrocodone anyday... Like House would say "life is pain, I wake up every morning with pain, I go to work in Pain"! Lumbar Spondylosis in L5-S1 hurting for 12 years then they found bone spurs, with moderate Stenosis 34 epidurals has not helped, it is in both Cervical/Lumbar areas. I'm tired of pain 24/7 when I sleep no pain whatsoever! This medicine and Norco are 9's to me."

"Im having a very difficult month with the pain medication i was prescribed this month and this isn't the first time this has happened. I am a 68 year old disabled veteran and having been diagnosed with cancer and undergoing multiple surgeries since making it back from over seas. I never thought I would be treated this way - being given sugar pills to relieve my pain. United States Air Force honorably discharged disable Veteran asking for a little relief for whatever time I have left in on this planet. CVS has been taking care of this old packed up body for quite some time and every time they change manfacturers I suffer and it just isn"t fair because I know they know what works and what doesn't. They take a lot out of my disability every month for placebos that leave me squirming, moaning and writhing in pain and having flashbacks in top of that. Shame on you guys for doing this."

Roxicet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I've had chronic pain in my shoulder for years which is a result from a pinched nerve in my 5th vertebrae which causes my entire left arm to go numb. Roxicet has made a real difference in my life because sometimes the pain is so unbearable that it wakes me out of a sleep when I don't take them. It get a thumbs up from me."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I just had my thumb fused due to a tendon injury that prevented any thumb movement.I was given Percocet 10/325 mg tablets.The first week after surgery was amazingly great because the Percocet killed 90% of the pain.I'd rather not be on opiates but I had to make an exception. It's vital that you follow your doctors instructions and take medication as it was prescribed. I can see why people get addicted to Percocet. After taking one I felt the euphoric effects and I felt happy. If you need to take Percocet to treat your pain just keep in mind that you need to be responsible and be aware of the possibility of becoming addicted."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I have been on and off Percocet for the last 10 years since diagnosed with Endometriosis. It's the only thing that helps when the pain gets really bad. I have tried many other NSAIDs to no avail. I only take 1/2 when absolutely required. After surgery 1/2 every 6 hours. Be sure to take them with food to avoid feeling ill or light headed and out of control. I didn't like the idea of taking a narcotic, but they work, but you do need to respect them. They do have a time and place for pain."

Tylox (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "This is really strange. My mom, who has Alzheimers was given this drug to help her recover from a hysterectomy. We have found a definite connection between Tylox and her Alzheimers- it's greatly improved! She regained about 18 months of mental deterioration from the Alzheimers after taking this drug. No one can understand why there's a connection. When she stopped taking Tylox, her Alzheimers once again became worse. When we restarted Tylox, once again, her mental capacity improved tremendously."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I had knee surgery last week and I wouldn't be able to go through the recovery without Percocet. Before the pain was really frustrating. I would wake up at least every 2 hours at night because I would subconsciously move my knee. I feel its effects within 15 minutes. Although some pain is still there, it is quite minor, and very manageable. It works."

Roxicet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "As a long time chronic pain sufferer who has tried every preventative drug possible. This medication, whether in the form mentioned here or without the tylenol gives by far THE best, and most all purpose relief - with no side effects at all. It's a pity the press has made many doctors reluctant to utilize this medicine which gave me my life back relieving the most physical pain, and having a good, and not at all depressing effect on brain. I am not speaking of a "high" just the reverse of the exacerbation of depression one often feels when medicines do not work, and have the effect of worsening depression."

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "My pain is from a pinched nerve and cervical vertebrae c5/c6 pressing on the nerve root. Chronic lower back pain. It helps great for the pain. The side effects are a problem. Pounding in my ears is horrible. This alone makes me want to try something different. The other bad side effect is feeling to hyper to the point I hurt worse by the time night rolls around. It makes me feel like I'm not injured when really I'm overdoing it because the Percocet is masking the pain. Be careful when you take this drug. I take promethezine for nauseous times. Eating before you take Meds is helpful with that. I wish someone could tell me if they have experienced the ear pounding and what the doctor did for you?"

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I took Percocet after getting my wisdom teeth removed for about a week. For pain specifically, I would give it an 8/10. The reason why I'm not giving it an 8 is because of the abuse potential. When I was on Percocet, it made me not care about anything else. I loved the euphoria more than the pain relief, which is extremely dangerous. I would not recommend taking this medication unless you absolutely have to because of the addiction and abuse potential. Stick to ibuprofen if you can. Stay away from this stuff."

Percocet (acetaminophen / oxycodone) "I had menisectomy back in 2011, after 2 years I started having bad pain under my knee cap and my lateral side of my knee. Doctor prescribed me Norco 5mg it had little effect so he switched to Percocet 5mg, feels good to sleep at night."
