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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

I had brain surgery because I was jumped while walking home from college. My skull was crushed on the right side but luckily I have not suffered brain damage. The pain is intense at times though. This is the only medicine that makes it manageable.

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.
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.
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.
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!
I have Harrington rods in my back from having severe scoliosis, so I had a spinal fusion when I was 16. Now that I am 24 yrs old I suffer from severe pain from the rods. Percocet 10/325 is a lifesaver! Without this medication I would be in trouble. I can actually go to the park with my kids and enjoy life again without being in agony. I take every dose as prescribed. This is a great medicine for chronic pain patients!
I was on different doses of Vicodin for 2 years and I was having pains in my side from all the Tylenol and damaging my liver. I was switched to Percocet and it has been awesome. I take 3 x 10/325mg a day and I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I am only 24 so it was hard to find a doctor who would actually treat and listen to me and not think I was a drug abuser because of my piercings, age and tattoos. This medicine decreases my pain my 80% and with my Voltaren Gel I can get 90% relief. I have a 5yr old daughter and without my medication I can't take care of her or myself. I just sat around crying all day in pain. Now I can cook, clean, do activities, go on outings, run errands and do everything I did before.
This is the only medication that relieves my pain. I cannot take the Vicodin class drugs because I am allergic, but I have no problem with this medicine.
I was involved in a major car accident. I'm lucky to have survived my neck and back including my whole left side wash in incredible amounts of pain. My Doctor prescribed me Percocet and now I can tend to my little ones taking them back and forth too school. I'm very thankful for this wonder pill. It's best for me and I've had my share of different medicine. I'm more than satisfied.
