I have degenerative disk disease which is basically spinal arthritis. I think this is the only medicine that has helped me deal with the chronic pain. One of the side effects is constipation. If you stop taking it abruptly there are many uncomfortable side effects including sweating, nausea, diarrhea, restless leg feelings and other flu like symptoms. This must be weighed against the benefit. Ever...

While I am taking this medication with IBU800 to relieve a right shoulder muscle strain, I am not feeling the relieve I would usually get any other time I have been on Percocet 5/325. This particular medication I am taking has a 54-543 on the one side of the pill and a 'pill cutter' mark on the other side of the pill. When I look up the actual pill description, it comes up as Roxicet; another brand name for Percocet. In all my six years as being a Pharmacy Technician for Rite Aid Corporation I have never seen a brand name used to describe another brand named drug which is the same. Example: If you are taking Glucophage XR 500...THE PILL BOTTLE SAYS THIS --- If you are taking Metformin ER 500/Metformin XR 500, the bottle is marked accordingly with a small printed message below this name on the bottle stating it is considered a generic type version or another version of the brand name drug Glucophage XR 500. This particular Roxicet was never mentioned on my pill bottle no where, but actual has this formulation of medication in the bottle based on the 'pill identifier' description. It actually has Oxycodone/Acet++ with the actual BRAND NAME BELOW IT OF PERCOCET. THIS LABELING PROCEDURE HAS TO BE INCORRECT AT BEST!!! MORE ON THIS LATER AS I DISCOVER AND INVESTIGATE WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN THE UNITY PHARMACY SITES HERE IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND MY MEDICATIONS. Read More Read Less

I love using this medication for pain because it does not give me that sluggish hangover feeling when I take it.

Took at night, couldn't sleep at ALL. Felt itchy like my skin was crawling all night. Next morning, nausea and vomitting. Horrible side effects, not worth the prescription. Will seek alternate without similar ingredients. Pain was better but I was incredibly uncomfortable and miserable from taking this.

Experienced weakness, Clammy to the touch, Faint, Confusion, and a dangerously very slow heart rate. Good thing the pill last only 4 hours. I don't know which was worse the pain or the drug affect.
