For Pain "June 2019 - My body hated it! My doctor prescribed Oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325 (Percocet) for pain from a bulging disc in my hips, thighs, and back. The Tramadol I've been taking for osteoarthritis and foot pain wasn't helping the hips, thighs, and back pain. I took only 3 half-tablets in a 10-hour period, and after the 3rd half-tab, I started feeling horrible. Dizzy, restless to the point of not sleeping, feeling awful. When I did try to sleep, I could not relax at all, and the really sad part is - the pain in my back, hips, and thighs never went away, so I was suffering from the drug and the pain. Not everyone is going to have bad side effects, but these were mine."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "Used Percocet when I got my wisdom teeth out. It made the pain tolerable. But the nausea was worse than the pain would have been. I could not even close my eyes because I was so dizzy and sick to my stomach. I had to call the doctor for another pain killer."

For Pain "Feb 2018 I don't like taking strong meds. I developed horrible upper thigh leg spasms from a pinched nerve in my back. Couldn't sleep, terrible pain. Doctor gave me Oxycodone 325...wonderful meds. No pain after 1/2 tab. Yes, dizziness. Take with Metamucil to avoid constipation. Drink plenty of fluids. No other side effects other than a little tinnitus. Good job, researchers. Finally, a decent pain killer that doesn't rot your stomach! Like Advil and stronger than Extra Strength Tylenol. Wish the provincial government would cover it though."
