For Pain "Had my hand crushed in a machine at work with a total of 15 breaks in my right hand. Was originally on 5/325 Percocet with limited relief. Doc switched me to this today and can already tell the big difference. I can actually function somewhat normal and continue physical therapy."

For Chronic Pain "As a sufferer of chronic pain for 15 years, I finally feel better. Recently, I blew out my shoulder and have severe neck issues which unfortunately I need surgery for both. Don't know if it's just me but Mallinckrodt pills with the imprint M 523 have finally been the medication that has and is saving me from a deep dark depression. Thank God there are the means to do this now with insurance benefits from work because had this been 9 months ago, I'd be totally screwed. This is on top of all the chronic pain I've suffered for so long. Went through it the past 6 or 7 years without medication needed. These 2 newer injuries are absolutely kicking my ass. These pills in particular have been godsent so much so that my pharmacist promised that these pills that I'm speaking of, M 523, would be what they give me from here on out. Strongly recommend these for sufferers out there."

For Chronic Pain "I went for over a year of burning and stiffening pain in my neck and shoulders. I was put on hydrocodone to help with the pain. Finally went to a neurosurgeon, and he ordered an MRI, found out I have DDD and two collapsed discs C5-C7. I was scheduled for ACDF surgery in February. After my surgery, my pain doctor and my neurosurgeon agreed to put me on Percocet 10/325, along with tizanidine 4 mg (to help with muscle spasms), and I was so thankful they did, it really helped ease the pain. Seven months post-op, and I'm still on both meds because I'm having difficulty with the fusion taking hold. Going in for another epidural and trigger point injections. Hope this helps!"

For Chronic Pain "This has been a miracle drug for me. I had a severe knee fracture, followed by OA. The pain can be unreal! This medicine allows me to work, do my household chores, well... to have a life again! When severe flare-ups begin, it lowers my pain to a 2, seriously, without it, I would be spending most of my time on the couch. It has truly been a blessing for me, giving me my life back."

For Pain "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!"

For Chronic Pain "Generic drugs can be produced by several different pharmaceutical manufacturers, and more than likely, if you look up the ingredients from each one, you will find that they all use different binders, fillers, and such. Because of this, your experience with these drugs may include nausea, nervousness, upset stomach, etc., so my suggestion is that if you take a generic drug and are having problems or it isn't 'doing what it's supposed to do,' you may want to ask your pharmacist to change suppliers for you. In regard to generic Percocet, I had this problem. Yes, they did relieve my pain, but some did it better than others, and several made me 'nervous' and gave me an upset stomach. Most pharmacists are aware of this difference."

For Chronic Pain "My pharmacy changed to this manufacturer. Wow. What a difference in strength. I thought it was me, too, till I read the reviews! Now what do I do? I’m stuck with 30 days of meds. More expensive, too."

For Chronic Pain "My pharmacy ran out of my usual brand of Percocet and gave me this one in its place. It is awful. I did not get one bit of relief from my pain with this brand. There is no narcotic in this at all. I even took 2 at a time and nothing. It only hurt my stomach and made my heart race for a minute. I am not happy and now have to wait 28 days until I can get another prescription."

For Pain "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)."

For Chronic Pain "I was diagnosed with a bulging disc that radiates to my tailbone. I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and toes, as well as slight RLS. The issue I came across is it is very hard to convince doctors of the pain involved with this type of disease. My 1st doc visit, I was given Tylenol 3 (baby aspirin for neuropathy), then moved up to Norco 7.5 2x/day, still not enough, then moved up to Norco 10's 2x/day and was still not enough. All this took 8 months, 8 months of constant pain. I found the Norco side effect of difficulties with being able to finish during sex, and the loss of feeling was not pleasant. So my doctor switched me to Percocet 10/325. Wow, what a difference. This medication was a lifesaver for me. I have my life back."

For Chronic Pain "I’ve been dealing with lupus, scoliosis, and RA since I was 18 years old. I’m now 42. My doctor has tried so many different treatments and pain meds, and it seems as if nothing helps. The pain meds work only for a while, and now they’re treating me like an addict, wanting to bring me in for random drug tests and counting the pills. It’s sad, I’m hurting daily and need some relief!"

For Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "I have had reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) for about 2 years now in my leg after 3 surgeries to repair my Achilles tendon and peroneus brevis tendon and a DVT. I take Percocet 10, tramadol, and baclofen. The med is a lifesaver. I am a nurse and work 12-hour shifts, lots of walking and standing. Not sure I could work without it. I'm only 43. So thankful that I was prescribed this."

For Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "I will be switching pharmacies because they did not have my Percocet brand in stock. Instead, they gave me the t194 ones (Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), and I don’t like them. I still have pain, the company should be ashamed for having these instead of the ones that actually work."

For Chronic Pain "The garbage they've given us, 10/325 white oblong is totally disgusting. This doesn't work. Bring back the 10/325 yellows. For weird spine, disc slips, and broken bones is what helps me and everyone else who needs it. All these pharmaceuticals are messed up. Why are our insurances paying for generics that do not work?"

For Chronic Pain "I changed pharmacies and was dispensed the T 194 Camber Percocet. I am having problems with this medication relieving my chronic pain. It seems to cause breathing problems also. I was previously taking IP204 (Amneal Pharmaceuticals) and M523 (Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals), which managed my pain fairly well. My pharmacist must change this brand as I cannot take another month of T194 (Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). Terrible med."

"Blessings, my fellow sickies. I have had every emergency surgery possible. My history is thyroid cancer, 10 surgeries, large fibroids, partial hysterectomy, etc. Pharmaceuticals saved my life. I personally never wanted any medication for years of serious chronic illness, trying to walk off the pain. Many difficult surgeries, blacking out from severe pain daily. I finally agreed to take Percocets with Acetaminophen 5/325 about 10 years ago, I'm now in my 30s. Currently, I have thyroid cancer, radiation poisoning, diabetes, neuropathic pain, PCOS, arthritis, GI issues, parasite infections, radiation teeth cracked fallout, bloody cysts in my neck and lymph nodes, hair falling out, burning pain in my whole body that makes me sweat and shake 24/7, etc. I've taken IP204 (Amneal Pharmaceuticals) and M523 (Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals), which work well. Activist and Rhodes made me stop breathing. I had a severe allergic reaction. Today I tried a new brand called Alvogen 230 yellow round pills. They work very well and are a little strong, so be careful. No driving or drinking. G-d bless."

For Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "I've had chronic cluster headaches for 40 years. I have tried just about every medication recommended for headaches. The only thing that works is some type of narcotic pain medication, even though the use of these for headaches is definitely not recommended. But for me, that's the only thing that works. I'd rate this as a 10 for that purpose. I've been taking it for other pain the past three months; a badly broken lower leg and four broken ribs that happened as the leg was almost healed. This drug worked very well for the leg, but not nearly as well for the ribs. I'd rate it as a 9 for the leg, but only a 5 or 6 for the ribs. I can immobilize the leg fairly well, but there's no way to do that with the ribs."

For Chronic Pain "I have a painful connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and have been having pain for 6 years. My pain has been rapidly getting worse for several months, to the point where I am unable to work, take care of my home, or take care of myself. I was prescribed this medication after being hospitalized for severe pain so bad I was screaming, crying, thrashing around, vomiting, and losing consciousness. IV dilaudid got the worst pain under control, and 2 Percocet usually prevents my pain from getting that bad, but not always. I find that when I take it with a muscle relaxer called tizanidine, it works a bit better. It helps my level 7-9 pain, but for level 10 I still have to go to the ER sometimes. But it's still a good drug."

For Pain "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 Flexeril (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."

For Chronic Pain "This medication has improved my lifestyle more than I can express! Other than developing a degree of tolerance to this medication, it has helped me get off my butt and become active again! As a 'Nam vet, I've had my share of injuries, including seven hip surgeries. On my request, my doctors will change this medication occasionally to dilute so my body can 'regroup,' helping the oxycodone work better after a month! I caution anyone taking this medication to be cautious of people visiting you because I was shocked at the degree some will go to to gain access to this! People constantly called me with various injuries, wanting me to 'loan' them a few! Hope this was helpful for true chronic pain patients! God bless! ✌️"
