For Chronic Pain "I have had 1 discectomy and laminectomy on my left S-1 & -2 discs. After surgery, I was given the peach-colored 7.5/325, and they did wonders. During physical therapy, I herniated my L-4 & -5 on the right. I have surgery in a few days. My neurosurgeon prescribed me 30 of the white generic 5mg/325 percs until my surgery day. These small white round generic 5mg Percocet are complete trash. Yeah, it might slightly ease my back pain for an hour or so, but I personally believe that’s because my mind is concentrating on keeping my food down. Honestly, I’m a recovering addict, and I came off my suboxone for surgery per doctor's orders. You would think Percocet might subdue the withdrawal symptoms, but I’m not even sure if it did. I actually felt worse after I took the Percocet. I’m calling my doctor today and going back to hydrocodone or morphine if he will. I will NOT take another generic Percocet again."

For Chronic Pain "This medication worked well until they changed brands. I was relieved when I read the comments on Camber Pharmaceuticals. When Walgreens changed, I said I would give it a try. Within several hours, I could tell they were not going to work out. I started having withdrawal symptoms. But unlike some, I only have to wait for 2 weeks before my next script. This brand, Camber, sucks. I hope Walgreens gets the point and changes to someone else. At this time, they have lost my business for that medication."

For Pain "Percocet is the only medicine that gives me relief from chronic back pain, sciatica, trochanteric bursitis, fibromyalgia, and restless leg pain. I don't even waste my time on any over-the-counter medicines. Been using on and off for about ten years. I can quit anytime I want without any withdrawal symptoms. I'm very pleased with the way it works for me!"
