Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): It seems the only relief I have gotten has been with Percocet along with muscle relaxers and Neurontin for bee sting pain associated with the nerves.

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 doctor's 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 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Recently prescribed Percocet following lumbar fusion after several years on Vicodin. I saw one person say the opposite, and the reaction with individuals could be different, but Percocet makes me feel disoriented with 2 tabs (5mg each). Even heard about a crisis with an elderly person for disorientation while in my surgeon's office several weeks ago. My job requires mental sharpness and I have to say Vicodin is clearly superior and a better pain reliever for me in that regard. I generally break the pills in half to match what would have been the Percocet level effect for pain as Vicodin is more potent. I would not know what is like to take pain medication for enjoyment and never felt addicted in that sense but I have strict discipline.

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I have rheumatoid arthritis which is crippling and I take Percocet 10mg and Lortab 10mg daily and they do there job!! It takes all my pain away and makes my body feel wonderful and it also makes me so happy! There's not a better pain reliever out there! I recommend any one with severe pain to ask your doctor about Percocets or Lortabs!

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I was recently diagnosed with gallstones and had to go to the ER yesterday because I couldn't sleep from the pain and haven't been able to eat more than 400 cal/day, since eating causes the pain. They gave me one tablet of Percocet and a prescription for just a few more until I can get into surgery. I have to say, it is a-maz-ing. I've been going through debilitating pain for 2 weeks waiting around for doctors to diagnose me with what I already figured I had and one tablet of 5-325 knocked all that pain right out of me. Best part is that I was able to eat, take a pill, and even after the pill wore off I both felt like myself AND was pain-free! I was able to sleep and eat last night and I'm so SO happy!

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I must say that I enjoy taking Percocet. 1 5/325 every 3 hours for leg pain. This pill really works for me and a lot of other people too.

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!

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I have been on Percocet about two years ago for degenerative disc disease. It helped a lot, but it can be habit forming. Be very careful with this medicine; take ONLY as prescribed, and it will help you.

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I love this medicine but I can't perform on the job if I take it. I am at work right now and I just want to sleep under my desk. But I now have minor pain instead of bad pain. Nice.

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.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had bi-lateral ankle surgery in March and was put on Demerol, which at the time helped. Was given Vicodin for break through pain. Found out I was allergic to the anchor that was put in so had a second surgery in July. This time again given Demerol and Vicodin but did NOT help. Ended up in hospital with shots of Dilaudid. Doctor then gave me Percocets for breakthrough pain and it worked wonders! I could sit in my recliner and not just cry in pain. Now I'm back in a cast having more ankle issues (same ankle) and the doctor put me on icodins at first but at last visit since pain was still high and blood pressure was up (I usually run very low) he prescribed me Percocet 5/325. They are life savers! The pain went from 10 to 4 tops!

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I have recently been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. My Doctor first prescribed muscle relaxers (Flexeril and Skelaxin) to no avail. He then tried me on some anti-inflammatories, no help. Then, he gave me Tramadol. No help. I saw him the other day and he gave me Percocet 5/325. This gave me lots of relief. The nagging pain is still there but I can do a little more than I could on the other medications. There is no way I could do physical therapy with it.

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 Gall bladder surgery in May 09 and after trying Vicodin, Oxycontin, Diluadid, 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.

Endocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): 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.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I have been on this dosage since 1/09 due to 2nd and 3rd degree burns to my scalp and ears. I take 2 pills 3x per day. It has been a God send! The only side effect I have noticed is pain intensifies for about 15 minutes after I take it, then it subsides. Thank goodness I have a great Doctor who is not afraid to prescribe opioids. She realizes I need it, not want it. I now feel like doing more than laying on the couch curled up in agony.

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 3's, Oxycontin, pretty much everything they've got. But the only thing that truly does help me function in my everyday life without getting to loopy is Percocet. I give it a 10.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I was diagnosed with bursitis of the hip. I was in severe pain and went to go see multiple doctors before even being diagnosed. I was given Vicodin, Tramadol and an Anti inflammatory drug. None of them did the trick. After months of being in pain and to continuously argue with my Doctor that those prior pills were working he prescribed me Percocet. It works wonders. The first encounter with it made me feel really nauseous but once I was able to lie down it was amazing. I don't feel as though I am "high" on it but do feel as though I am back to my fun loving self. My libido has increased and I am sleeping much better. I work the graveyard shift and it's hard enough to sleep and this puts and keeps me asleep. Awesome to say the least.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had breast augmentation and was prescribed this. It took the pain away, and made me energetic and productive, but it also gave me appetite loss and gave me frequent upset stomachs. If I took it close to bedtime, it would keep me up at night. I frequently would get dizzy and lightheaded. I liked it for the initial energy.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had rotator cuff surgery and I was prescribed percocet after telling the doctor that I have a sensitive stomach to most medications. The medicine took the pain away, but I only take half a pill of the 5mg and my stomach gets so upset and try not to vomit. I can't get in a car without getting car sick. The doctor has now prescribed me Darvocet, lets hope this works better.

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 the 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 everyday.

Percocet 10/650 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I've been taking Percocet 10/650 for about a year due to a neck injury. I take my medication as directed. I don't take extra no matter how much I hurt. I've done therapy and injections. I've bought special chairs, keyboards and mattresses. My doctor does not recommend neck surgery due to the low success rate.
Percocet does not give the relief it did in the beginning.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I am 26 years old and have a 4 year old. I wad diagnosed with scoliosis in my upper and lower spine at 13 years of age, and recently 5 bulged disc, sciatica, and a severe pinched nerve along with the sciatic. At first my doctor gave me a script for Percocet and I was able to function. She now will not prescribe the Percocet again, even though the pain clinic has recommended it for me. I also work 80 hours a week through the excruciating pain.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Taking Percocet after total knee replacement surgery. It is a great aid to relieving pain. I was taking 2 tablets every 4 hours in the beginning, however, now its only when needed for pain and I only take 1 tablet. Percocet is amazing.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I take Percocet for moderate pain, because I had liver transplant. Only problem is there may be minor danger to other organs, but with a proper dosage I will be just fine .

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I also have degenerative disk disease, which I have recently had Lumbar Fusion surgery for. My doctor prescribed Percocet 10/325, along with Flexeril 10mg. The two together took all of the pain away and I was able to continue to be mobile during the day.

Endocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): 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.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Took Percocet for 3 days after losing a couple of finger tips to a slamming door. It certainly helped with the pain, but made me nauseous, dizzy and drowsy. I had to lie down most of the time I took this drug. I got off it as soon as I could.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had been in a severe accident in February 2007 and had compartment syndrome in the accident. I have a right foot drop. I find the mix of Gabapentin and Percocet work very well with the nerve pain as well as lower right leg pain.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I sustained a lower back injury in January of 2008. Obviously I was in severe pain, so I went to the ER. The attending doctor who saw me prescribed Percocet for the pain. This is an absolutely amazing pain medication. The worst part is that I still have back pain that is still undiagnosed, and being only 25, find it almost impossible to find a doctor to prescribe this to me. Even though it is the only thing that works. I have tried Ultram, Vicodin and several other narcotics, but this is the only one that works.

acetaminophen/oxycodone: At 29, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in my L4 and L5. Two years later, both have herniated and I also have a spinal tear. Vicodin worked until the disc's herniated, now only Percocet will do. I doesn't take away all the pain, but I can function and sleep with them. The only downfall is that you become resistant and have to increase the amount, dosage and frequency over time. This is something I'll deal with for life, and am concerned with addiction.

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I've been on it for about 2 years for chronic back pain and it works great. The only problem I see is my doctor has to keep upping my dose because after a while it doesn't last as long.

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 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I take Percocet and it has done wonders for me. Before I was unable to stand for more than 10 minutes due to chronic back pain and now I do a normal work load without taking frequent breaks. It works great but does make me nauseated at times.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I am 25 and have been taking 7.5/500 Percocet since I was 15 (10 years) and it used to work VERY well but its super easy to build up a tolerance and you have to wait a few weeks for it to go down so they also just started giving me 100mg of Demerol which is FANTASTIC. I have IGA NEPHROPATHY, and NIFRIDAS, and CALCUIM KIDNEY STONES and will have to live with pain the rest of my life and it is very hard to find a doctor who will prescribe to someone my age who is really suffering.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I use percocet 5's as needed for shoulder instability (subluxations/dislocations). Although it works well for pain, I find that I don't like the stomach upset, lightheadedness, or nausea while on it. Eating something helps somewhat. I seem to have issues with all drugs of this type so perhaps this is just me.

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 10/650 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I have been taking Percocet 10/650 off and on for about 5 months for back pain and for joint pain, tendinitis, etc. It works great for me despite my tendency toward resistance to pain medicines. I take one when I really need it and sleep great or do whatever I need to do. The only real down side I can list is when taking it before bed I am inclined to oversleep and feel groggy the next day.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I was having terrible back pain from my degenerative disc disease. I started off taking tramadol(ultram), then they switched me to Percocet. That changed my life. After taking it for a few months I could drive again. Now I can go where I want with little or no pain. I still have pain when shopping, which I hate anyway.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): This drug worked very well after my shoulder surgery. I took it for 6 weeks. My doses started at two every 6 hours for one week and tapered down to 2 at night. I was never told and did not realize that withdrawal would be a problem. I had several of the common withdrawal symptoms and 10 days after stopping the drug completely, I still have insomnia, night sweats and anxiety. No other sleep aids help me sleep yet.

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I'm a 32 year old guy with Stage IV malignant melanoma. I take MS Contin 30mg every 8 hours and until the recent oxycodone I.R. shortage, Roxicodone 15mg for breakthrough pain. Today my doc prescribed Percocet 10/325 to substitute for the Roxicodone. At the risk of sounding like a junkie- hydrocodone products (e.g. Vicodin/Vicoprofen/Lortab, etc.) have been my opioids of choice. I am however, very impressed with the Percocet 10/325. It works quickly and completely without the "zoned out" feeling I get with Methadone or Fentanyl. All in all - good stuff.

Roxicet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): This medication has been a life saver 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 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. A

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I was in a car accident almost 3 years ago, and ever since then I have had back problems. Been on therapy, it has not helped at all. This accident caused me to lose my feeling in my left arm and wrist. I had surgery done and it has not helped me at all. The only thing that helps me deal with the pain is Percocet 10/325. If you use the medication for what its given for you shouldn't have a problem with it. This has been the only medication that has helped me throughtout these 3 years. "It's great".

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I am recovering from last weeks shoulder surgery (scope without repair). My medical team used a nerve-block as they performed the procedure. I was sent home the same day with percocet 5/325 as my pain reliever. My doctor's nstruction was to: "make sure you get the percocet into your system before the nerve-block wears off." I complied and my pain is managed well.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I was prescribed Percocet for a foot injury. It was a lifesaver. Percocet dealt with the pain and helped my mood at the same time. I have noticed others' comments about its help with mood, and I have concluded that there is a correlation to its efficacy and anxiety.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I take 550mg one to three times a day for chronic back pain, due to a car crash 5 years ago. I originally started with 325mg the same amount of times a day but my body formed a tolerance which is totally common. Percocet helps, but for only an hour or two, and because I have a child I don't take it when he's awake because it does slow my reaction time.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I am taking Percocet 10/325mg five times daily for breakthrough pain with Ms-Contin 30 mg twice daily, and 60 mg at night. I am taking them due to a past near fatal car wreck that almost left me totally crippled. Taking these medicines have really given me my life back. I also agree that it actually does help with depression; as some people have mentioned on this site. I suffer from deep depression, and since taking these medicines it is like the depression is totally gone. Thumbs up to the caring Pain Management Doctors and these two medicines. Worked wonders for me.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Post open abdominal surgery for fibroids. Sent home from hospital with this medicine one every 6 hours. In the hospital it was 2 every 6 hours but I don't think the MD wanted me strolling around too much as I did in the hospital with 2 tablets.
Even 1 was very good for pain but at 6 hours I knew it was time for the next dose. Very strong narcotic with expected side effects - be sure to use a stool softener ( your doctor will prescribe or no doubt recommend one), especially after any abdominal surgery.

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 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I am taking Percocet 10's 4 x a day for severe back pain (post 2 spinal fusions, sciatica in both legs and 3 knee surgeries). I am having a partial knee replacement in 4 weeks. This medicine works great, with only one exception, it causes severe sweating, mostly at night.

Endocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): 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.

acetaminophen/oxycodone: Percocet was given to me for several months of abdominal pain. It does kill the pain well, and I don't have to take a lot of it to work, but if you don't have to take it, please do not choose to, it's awful coming back to reality from them. I definitely had to have help from the doctor to quit taking them.

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had my jaw broken in two places in a car wreck. My doctor gave me tramadol and percocet. Percocet is a wonder drug that has a bad name from others abusing it. It took my pain away totally and did not upset my stomach. Percocet is great for pain but it's harder to get than other drugs that are more dangerous.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I've used percocet for pain in the past (several nasty dental surgeries). I couldn't help but notice one user's comment that it helped with her depression. I have social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder and whenever I take percocet I feel absolutely normal again. I become very focused and energetic (much less scatter-brained and terrified of everything) and am very productive. I have told my psycho pharmacologist this but didn't seem to get anywhere with it. I know that you can't take this drug forever but it's too bad there isn't something that can be learned from this. Interesting that someone else feels the same way.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I'm 30 years old and I have 3 degenerated discs in my spine and a pinched sciatic nerve. Until I found percocet my life was horrible. I couldn't even sleep it hurt so bad. Now I can live my life again.

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 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I've had to be on it for about 7 years because of an auto-immune disease. I have deteriorating bones. It's the only medication that I have found that will at least make my pain bearable. It has been a life saver for me.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had back surgery (Laminectemy of L4, L5 and S4 , 8 inch titanium rod w/7 screws)in October 2006 plus I have severe Fibromyalgia and although Percocet makes me a little sleepy, this is the first time in 4 years that I feel relatively pain free. About 5 doctors were afraid of giving me anything stronger than regular Vicoden because of habit forming. Who cared if I couldn't walk or participate in activities. I finally found a doctor that was willing to help! Sometimes they give dogs more pallative care than humans. I should have gone to a vetenerian instead.

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Finally something that works. I was given this for pain expected after surgery. I only needed to use it twice but I have a neurological disorder and it relieved the pain I was experiencing from that. My neurologist had tried me on everything but this for my pain. I use on occasion for when I really can't take the pain any more

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I've been on 10 mg Percocet, then 7.5mg, then 5mg now I am on 2.5mgs and they are perfect. I don't get all tired. I think percocet is a good pain medicine. I also take oxycontin and alprazolam but the oxycontin 40mgs are strong so I take them once in a while.

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 awhile, 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.

acetaminophen/oxycodone: I have been taking this after my back surgery when I was 29 years old, and it has helped with the pain. I am also on flexeril and tramadol in between these. I am able to move a lot easier. It does make me sleepy as where it might not for some. There are some side effects but I only had nausea.

acetaminophen/oxycodone: This has to be the best pain medicine there is. However I'm a little worried how I'm going to feel once I'm off of it. It takes the pain away and gives me such bursts of energy.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had fixation surgery with 10 screws in my fibula last week. The medicine is great for pain. However, make sure to eat before taking it, and get ready for the occasional blurred vision.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had abdominal surgery and Percocet was my best friend for almost 2 weeks. I switched to 800 mg ibuprofen to ensure that I did not develop addiction to the percocet.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had heavy dental work done and the doctor gave me Percocet. I also suffer from depression. The percocet did wonders for my depression. It made me feel like myself again. I plan on telling my shrink about this tomorrow morning. I know I can't continue to take this medicine but there may be a clue about percocet and depression. I don't feel high, just normal.

Percocet 10/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I had been prescribed Percocet for a migrane 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.

Tylox (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Post surgery: I am sensitive to medicine and this one is not too hard on my stomach. It helps me get comfortable enough to get a good nights sleep. It will cause hard stool or constipation. I have been taking one every night at dinner and 2 stool softeners in the morning with breakfast. Cannot take and work or drive so only useful for nights. Overall very happy with this.

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.

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.

Percocet 5/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I have chronic back pain. I take this medication as needed. This medicine has allowed me to go back to enjoying children, gardening, camping, etc. I have small children so this medication really helps with pain while allowing me to be fully functional as well. Doesn't make me loopy or nauseous. This has been a wonder-drug for me.

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 7.5/325 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I have been suffering from severe back pain and neck pain for about 25 years and have tried everything but surgery. My wife has undergone back surgery four times and still has problems so I am weary of the operating table. I am currently taking Percocet 7.5/325 mg four times a day and it seems to be working most of the time for me. I would recommend this pain medicine for anyone with similar problems before surgical option.

Magnacet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Magnacet is a life saver. The pain relief is unbelievable when taken with my other presriptions. It does make me a bit light headed and drowsy but since helps with the pain it is well worth it.

Percocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I am a 26 year old woman and I have 2 kids. I was in a really bad wreck in December 2006. I was rear ended at 55mph while I was sitting still in a construction zone. My doctor put me on percocet for the neck and back pain. It felt like a wounder drug to me. I have had a lot of medical problems in my life and I still do, it as been one surgery after another and percocet is the best pain medication that I have ever taken. Percocet is the best.

Tylox (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Worked really well for nerve pain - it's a lot like Lortab or Vicodin. It gives an energy burst (depending on your tolerance level with these types of medicine) within 20-40 minutes.

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 Flexiril (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 (acetaminophen/oxycodone): I broke my heel as well as tearing several ligaments in my ankle, but Percocet is keeping the pain at bay -- which is amazing since otherwise it is excruciating.

acetaminophen/oxycodone: I felt great. The pain seemed to go away all together. Yet after about 6 hours my pain came back much worse. It was great at doing its pain killing job, but it didn't help me recover post-surgery.

Roxicet (acetaminophen/oxycodone): Although Roxicet is identical to Percocet and Oxycodone made by other manufacturers, the tablet is not easily split into two along its score line, and, inconveniently, a sharp, heavy knife must be used if only half a dose is required. Oxycodone marked 512 is easier to use.

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!

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.
