For Pain "I was prescribed Percocet 10/325 after a surgery and found it to be extremely effective at relieving pain. For me, personally, the effects lasted around 7 hours, after which I'd usually have to re-dose, at least for the first week after the surgery. Similarly, I found it extremely effective at reducing pain from cluster headaches when a triptan wasn't effective. It's not a recommended treatment for cluster headaches, but I did find it useful as a very last resort. The only two 'side effects' were the very pleasant (and often addicting) euphoria from the Oxycodone and the unpleasant cravings I had for it after discontinuing use. Otherwise, I was very impressed with it."

For Pain "I was given this for what was supposed to be temporomandibular joint dysfunction. It worked for four days. Until the pain became so great I went in crying and shaking. Turned out I had to get my tooth extracted and a bone graft. My filling had cracked and the nerve was exposed and dying. Increased me to 10 mg; not only was my mouth pain-free after surgery, my two herniated discs and pinched nerves, my back, neck, and shoulders were almost pain-free. I was able to do laundry and cook for my family. Best thing ever after 12 years of no relief. I take the smallest dose, 5 mg, with the option to take 2 if needed."

For Chronic Pain "I have fibromyalgia for about 20 years now, I was taking Cymbalta, Mobic, and some other meds, but they did not help. I take Percocet for pain on really bad days, and it helps a lot. Have no side effects. On days that I can tolerate pain, I take Advil."

For Pain "I had a re-treatment of an infected root canal, and after 4 days of increasing pain, I had finally hit my breaking point on Sunday night. I was crying and shaking uncontrollably and was at my wit's end! This was the MOST excruciating pain I have EVER had in my life, I never thought a tooth could hurt so bad. I went to an emergency dentist, who opened my tooth up and cleaned it out again, and prescribed me antibiotics and 10 mg Percocet. After taking the Percocet that night, I finally slept after 4 days of sleepless nights. This pain medication is a GODSEND!"

For Pain "I have been taking Percocet 'as needed' for several years due to neck and shoulder pain from a car accident. It does relieve the pain for sure, but I am very cautious about becoming addicted. For me, Percocet gives me a burst of energy and also a feeling of euphoria. I never take it after 4 p.m. since it keeps me awake at night."

For Pain "I have to say that these pills are a miracle when it comes to pain. The reason I wanted to post my review of Percocet is because of the very, very vivid dreams. I actually just woke up and had a dream that scared me half to death. I really and truly thought that I saw my wife cheating with another man. I could not believe it, you guys have no idea how REAL it felt. So just letting you guys know."

For Pain "I have a high tolerance for meds. Percocet 10/325 mg takes my pain level from a 7/8 to a 3/4. I have been on this medicine for over 2 years, and it allows me to continue to work out and move around doing my job."

For Pain "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!"

For Chronic Pain "I’m a disabled veteran who has had 13 knee surgeries, of these, the removal of the patella in each knee is included, and since 2015, my right knee has been replaced 2x. I’m currently prescribed Percocet 5/325 at 2 per day. I find this medication is more than capable of controlling my pain."

For Chronic Pain "Mallinckrodt - spelling may be off, but this is the best in effectiveness and efficiency. I’ve had no negative effects. If you have a choice, this is the best pharmaceutical company for generic Percocet."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "I have had 4 spinal fusions due to a work accident over 20 years ago, and this takes the edge off enough to go to the grocery and keep my home clean and myself and hygiene up to par, which is all I asked the doctor for."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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!"

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "I was prescribed this for pain following brain surgery. Take with food to prevent nausea. To avoid constipation, I took each dose with a stool softener and drank apple juice. Works good on the pain. But you do feel a little loopy on it."

For Pain "I recently had a 9 mm and 7 mm kidney stone between my kidney and bladder. Too large to pass, so I had to have a stent placed to prevent blockage while waiting a week to go back for the procedure to break up the stones to a passable size. I had been given several types of pain meds through I.V. while in the hospital, including some that were very powerful, including Dilaudid among others. I was sent home for 5 days while waiting for the procedure and was given Percocet 10/325, 1 every 4 hours. Without it, I couldn't have tolerated the pain. Also had very limited side effects, nothing like what the I.V. meds caused, and I felt much safer taking it versus the other more powerful meds. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from kidney stones."

For Chronic Pain "My experience was that this was the only medicine that helped severe pelvic pain. I started on a low dose but had to take two. Two months in, my doctor agreed to raise the dose to 10 mg/325. I was worried about the amount of Tylenol. Long story short, had a hysterectomy a few months later. Took two months to wean myself off by tapering. Total, I was on Percocet for seven months."

For Pain "I have an infected tooth with a dead nerve that needed a root canal. I got half the root canal done and need to wait for the infection to clear up. I'm taking major antibiotics, but it's still taking a while, and I'm in a lot of pain. The Percocet has helped immensely. I waited too long to take it last night and had to take a trip to the ER for morphine! The morphine was not much different than the Percocet. My problem was that I waited. I have been taking one every 6 hours, which is said on the bottle, but I think I need to do it every 5 hours. Hopefully, that's okay to do. I'm also on 800 mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours. I have not experienced any nausea, but yes, I guess I am constipated, but I have only been eating soup anyway."
