For Insomnia "I will never take this again. Woke with such a dry mouth I could barely swallow, and a need to use my inhaler. This is NOT a usual thing for me. Reading today, I see that anyone with asthma, etc., should not use this. I would echo that. I did sleep but still feel unwell and glad I only took TWO."

For Pain "I had a very painful tooth abscess that was not relieved with the popular OTC medicines. A pharmacy technician recommended Percogesic, and I felt relief within 30 minutes. Pain relief lasted longer as well, so I had to take it less often. The only negative was a minor side effect: dry mouth."

For Insomnia "This medication definitely works, but it has its setbacks. I took this one night for my period cramps and I hadn't slept in about 2 days. I instantly got about almost 2 days of rest about 20 minutes after. My mom thought I had stopped breathing after a while. I woke up with the driest throat and, for some reason, a nosebleed. Something that has been irking me about this medication is the wacky and vivid dreams. My mother also has sleep problems, so she decided to take one with me last night. We both experienced vivid and disturbing dreams with the same contents within the dream. It was very trippy to hear me and my mom dreamed about being in the same place when we went to discuss how wack our nights were. Overall, this is a pretty good medication. I would not recommend it if you have asthma or have mental health issues, it will manifest in your waking life physically and emotionally."
