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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I've had chronic pain in my shoulder for years, which is a result of a pinched nerve in my 5th vertebra, 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 it. It gets a thumbs up from me."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Was prescribed generic 10/325 after wisdom teeth removal, and it made my recovery a breeze. Took one on a timer a few times a day, as advised by my surgeon, and it almost completely erased the pain. Only downside was that it wore off extremely suddenly (at least for me), so if I missed a dose, I'd be met with excruciating pain around the 6-hour mark. I had no side effects other than constipation (which was easily taken care of by an OTC laxative) and pretty extreme drowsiness. I didn't mind that, though, because I needed the rest to properly recover anyway."

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

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "As a longtime 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 the 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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have been on and off Percocet for the last 10 years since being 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 lightheaded 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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Post open abdominal surgery for fibroids. Sent home from the 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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "Highly recommended! No side effects besides the slight dizziness that can be expected with any opiate (always make sure to take it with a bite of food!). Works great, but you'll have to taper off your dosage little by little so you don't experience withdrawal symptoms when you don't need it anymore."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have a rare bone disease called osteonecrosis, which basically means bone death. I've had to have both hips replaced and both shoulders, and soon I will have my knees replaced as well. I'm only 40 years old, and my condition has made daily living very difficult. Percocet 10/325 has been a blessing, what a huge difference it has made for me. I can do things I haven't been able to do in years and it has helped with my depression from chronic pain, and the things I'm able to do now, I feel useful again."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "This is really strange. My mom, who has Alzheimer's, was given this drug to help her recover from a hysterectomy. We have found a definite connection between Tylox and her Alzheimer's-it's greatly improved! She regained about 18 months of mental deterioration from the Alzheimer's after taking this drug. No one can understand why there's a connection. When she stopped taking Tylox, her Alzheimer's once again became worse. When we restarted Tylox, once again, her mental capacity improved tremendously."

"I broke 2 ribs and got the prescription from the ER. Filled at Walgreens, took one and no effect or even relaxing feeling that opiates usually provide. Looked it up online and found out this is not unusual for this generic brand. I'll be complaining to Walgreens corporate. In the meantime, will augment with ibuprofen and hope for the best. Won't allow any pharmacy to fill any prescriptions by this manufacturer, no matter what it is for."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I was given Percocet recently after knee surgery. After about the 4th dose, I felt hyper, restless, nauseous, and had a very dry mouth. The worst side effect was extreme throbbing/stabbing lower back pain. I thought it was from just laying around, but whenever I didn't take the Percocet, I didn't have the lower back pain. Great for pain, but for me, it's not worth the side effects I experienced."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I am 23 years old and recently had a medial meniscus transplant on my right knee. It is an exceptionally painful procedure since they must drill into the capsule of your joint. Percocet worked wonders for me."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have herniated discs in my lower back from a fall. I generally don't like taking narcotic pain killers, but it gets to a certain point where I would take anything to make the pain stop. That's when I take one 5/325 Percocet. It takes 90% of my pain away when I take it with Motrin. I've tried every non-narcotic pain reliever and had no results. I tried Ultram with high hopes, but it didn't help. It's a shame that because of abuse, this medication is so frowned upon (and hard to get even if you really need it). It's so helpful for me and gets me through days that I would otherwise spend crying or in bed. The only downside is if I have to take it a couple of days in a row, I get constipated. I have no dizziness, high feeling, or nausea."

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 a surgical option."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I have been suffering with migraines for months now. I tried the over-the-counter meds, none ever worked. My doctor gave me migraine medicines, still, it never worked, and I decided to go to the E.R., and they gave me Percocet 5/325, and it was great. It's the greatest painkiller ever."

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 Godsend! 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 lying on the couch curled up in agony."

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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I had a double lung transplant and was prescribed this medicine. It did well for the pain, but also gave me mental improvements, as I have seen others have experienced as well. Not only did it get rid of the pain, but it also lessened my depression, decreased my anxiety, and made me feel more relaxed and like my normal self. I was more positive, more productive, and life was just overall better."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "This medication has worked very well for helping to control my breakthrough pain of RSD/CRPS, which is the most painful chronic pain disease there is. I have been on 10/650 for a long time, but now my doctor is concerned that I am getting too much Tylenol in my dosage - I am going to try to get her to move me to 10/325. The max dosage of Tylenol should be 2650 mg a day, NOT 4000, as it has been updated. I am not worried about becoming addicted, as I take my dosages as directed. There is a huge difference between addiction and dependence on your pain medications. I also take Opana ER 40 mg 2 x day. These two medicines work well for me."

"I'm having a very difficult month with the pain medication I was prescribed this month, and this isn't the first time this has happened. I am a 68-year-old disabled veteran and have been diagnosed with cancer and undergoing multiple surgeries since making it back from overseas. I never thought I would be treated this way - being given sugar pills to relieve my pain. United States Air Force honorably discharged disabled veteran asking for a little relief for whatever time I have left on this planet. CVS has been taking care of this old packed-up body for quite some time, and every time they change manufacturers, I suffer, and it just isn't fair because I know they know what works and what doesn't. They take a lot out of my disability every month for placebos that leave me squirming, moaning, and writhing in pain and having flashbacks on top of that. Shame on you guys for doing this."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I was involved in a major car accident. I'm lucky to have survived my neck and back, including my whole left side, washed in incredible amounts of pain. My doctor prescribed me Percocet, and now I can tend to my little ones, taking them back and forth to 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."

Acetaminophen / oxycodone "I take oxycodone 10/325 2x daily for pain management. I have ulnar steroid degeneration in both wrists, along with rheumatoid arthritis as well. After surgery on both hands/wrists, I was left with severe pain. The medicine makes it tolerable, as I work 90 percent of the day on a computer. I do have stomach acid from the medicine, but take over-the-counter acid reducer for that. It has been a year since taking the medicine, and I feel so much better. My doctor does see me to evaluate the pain every six months."

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 it's given for, you shouldn't have a problem with it. This has been the only medication that has helped me throughout these 3 years. 'It's great.'"
