I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled about a week ago. I was prescribed fifteen 5 milligram Endocets for after surgery. I took about 5 the first day and then 3 the next and 2 the 3rd day and 1 the fourth fay. It helped the pain, but not for very long. I took a nap every time I took a pill. I also found myself to have severe mood swings while on the Endocets. I was happy one minute then felt awful the next. Also, they gave me TERRIBLE constipation. If you're taking them eat a lot of fiber or take a laxative or a two a day to keep everything moving. Although for the short amount of time that they worked, my body felt awesome.

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

Had severe back and leg pain for 5 years before a tumor that had pinched my spinal cord was discovered on the left side of C5/6. I was taking 45mg before the surgery and 90 mg (am now gradually lowering the dose). Works pretty well but it really slows down the bowel motion so have to take a stool softener with it.

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.
