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 2-5 mg 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!"

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Percocet 5/325 and 10/325 were the only things that allowed me any rest and relief when I had a pinched cervical nerve. I only had to take Percocet for 4 days and did just fine on Motrin and Tylenol after that severe period, but I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t stashed them from my C-section in 2002! No doctor will write for them for fear of prison, and it’s absolutely disgusting that people have to suffer as a result. I’m so glad I still have several in case, God forbid, I should ever need them again for severe unremitting pain."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I was prescribed this medication for relief from 'gallbladder attacks,' until I could have my gallbladder removed. I have taken Norco 10/325 previously for a bulging disc. Percocet is far superior in pain relief, time between doses, and fewer side effects (in my opinion)."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I think Endocet are the best pain medicine. I have been on pain medicine for 15 years. I have 3 crushed discs in my back, and they can't operate because I have a bad heart. I was driving 400 miles round trip to get them, that is how much I think they are much better than any other brand."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I've had to be on it for about 7 years because of an autoimmune 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 lifesaver for me."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "A lifesaver, have used them for years when in any major pain (broken or bruised ribs, broken ankle, major headache, etc.). They work miracles when taken properly. I usually take them every 4 hours to keep the pain away. 5/325."

"I take generic Percocet - 30@5 mg every 6 months, so I'm not a heavy user. My former generic pills worked perfectly. Recently, I had Walgreens fill the prescription, and I discovered that their new manufacturer, Cambra, has a product that turns blue, even when stored properly in the bottle, is less effective in controlling pain, and causes stomach issues, headaches, and nausea. I experienced these side effects, and a quick look at where this pill was rated, the majority of reviewers reported similar reactions. I researched why the pills turn blue. (I thought I had been given counterfeit pills or molded pills). A blue dye has been inserted to prevent misuse, but I can't see how that would deter them. I read that the FDA as of 2017 will not approve dyes for the pills due to reactions such as what I had. Why would a respected pharmacy like Walgreens carry such an inferior and potentially dangerous product? Many have reported these issues, so I know they are aware."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "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 10/325 mg 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 by 80%, and with my Voltaren Gel, I can get 90% relief. I have a 5-year-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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "You have to remember, with an injury, pain can be your friend. I've been taking 10-650 for years, off and on, and just because it says to take once or twice a day doesn't mean you have to. Pain reminds you that the injury is still there and gives you limits that stop you from making it worse."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Husband has been on Endocet for 7 years. It was the only narcotic pain reliever that works for him. He refuses to accept other generics as they do not work as well for him. I am sure body chemistry plays a role in which med works for each individual. For him, Endocet is the best."

"My issues are L-1 thru L-5, all bulged L-4 annular tear, arthritis in lower back. Took 10-500 hydrocodone with acetaminophen for 12 years, @ 3 a day, then the laws changed and had to go every month for drugs at the pain clinic, where I told them the meds only upset my stomach and didn’t help. So, I was changed to oxycodone with acetaminophen 10-325, 3x a day, along with epidural, facet injections, rhizotomy, and SI injections. I had no real relief and finally had a second opinion from a spine specialist that gave me meloxicam 7.5 and therapy - no more opioids, never any real relief from the opioids."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I was prescribed Roxicet 5-325 for pain relief after major abdominal surgery, and I have to say this was amazing! I've never had such complete relief from any medication before. One tablet every 4 to 6 hours kept me completely comfortable. It made me a little sleepy, but that was fine given that I was recuperating from surgery. It would probably not be suitable for me to take while working. The only real side effect I experienced was a little nausea, which I learned to minimize by taking it with food. Overall, the most effective pain medication I've ever used."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Percocet seemed to be the only pill that would help me while I was dealing with the pain from 2 herniated discs in my back (pre-surgery). Although it couldn't take even close to all the pain away, it did help significantly. I was taking 10 mg/4 times a day, and I was still in significant pain, but it worked better than Advil, hydrocodone, and Dilaudid. Now post-surgery, I only take it for breakthrough pain."

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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I had oral surgery and was prescribed Demerol, which made me feel sick, not to mention I could still feel the pain somewhat. I called the doctor, who then prescribed Percocet 10/325. Not only did it knock out the pain completely, but the side effects were practically non-existent. Just a little sweating and kind of a warm feeling, but I could function like normally. I didn't feel out of it like the Demerol made me feel. All I can say is it worked perfectly for me."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I am taking Percocet 10's 4 times 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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Prescribed for pain of a large ulcer on my foot, 10/325 x 6 a day, it definitely provided relief until I recovered (2 months). Tapering and stopping was crummy but somewhat relieved by clonidine, Neurontin, and a short course of Ativan. A potent pain med, though, definitely works!"

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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have been on Percocet for about two years 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) for pain: I am hoping to start a discussion about manufacturers. I have this from Amneal Pharma, and it sucks. Someone else posted that they had Camber, and it sucked, but the one from Mallinckrodt is good. I have another med from Camber, and it is also bad and switched it to Aurobindo and had no issues. For all of you, let's post the manufacturer of the RX you were given. It will be listed on the bottle. Maybe we can find out who to avoid."

"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 Mallinckrodt 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 doctor's office."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "This pill is amazing. I just recently had nose surgery for the third time due to breaking it playing football/boxing. This time they had to go in and move the cartilage, and before they had me on Oxycodone, and it helped out. But now that they put me on Percocet, it has extremely been useful. It's relieved all my pain, helps me sleep, and the side effects are not that bad."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I had been prescribed Percocet for a migraine 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."

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

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Arthritis - A true wonder drug. I've been using it for 10 years, and it has allowed me to function at an optimum level. But the doctors are so wary and suspicious. I get only 40 pills for 3 months and suffer on days I cannot take it. I believe in relieving pain, and this narcotic drug will do it. Nothing else matches it."
