I took percocet when I had my wisdom teeth taken out a few years ago and it had a weird effect on me. Just the smallest little thing (ex. my mom saying "I'm going to the kitchen") would make me burst out crying as if someone had died. By the second day, I had the dentist give me something else.

Was put on it when I had 4 wisdom teeth out at the same time...made me naseated. Tylenol 3 was my best friend, tho. Had a very fun 2 days on the couch with the tv.
It depends on your tolerance. As you know I had foot surgery this past spring. They prescribed A LOT of percoset for me. A whole one makes me drowsy and I tend to fall asleep. I don't go out in public while taking them. Don't drink while taking them either. I usually take half. I have a high threshold for pain so I still have a bunch of them left. I actually took more Advil for the pain than percoset.
Between the percost and the other pain pills they gave me before the surgery, it's like the Valley of the Dolls up in here!
I've never taken Percocet, but my sister was taking some after she had her gall bladder removed a few years ago. She spent pretty much her whole week off from work playing DDR on Percocet.
The doctors on duty now at Duane Reade are absolutely useless. They just tell you to go to the hospital or a dentist. They're not even able to prescribe meds.
I'm going to the sliding scale clinic in the morning to have this bitch pulled. I think it's an abscess so it needs to be taken care of ASAP.
Jordan, I am glad to hear there are doctors at DR now. I had this picture of you walking into a pharmacy and saying, "Hey, my friend gave me some Percocet and they did NOTHING for me! Can you guys give me a higher dosage? Thanks."
I hope you get it taken care of soon. Toothaches are the worst.
it made me all sleepy and pukey. but it really depends on the person... i know someone with very severe JRA and she takes it, it gets rid of her pain, and she goes about her day. i take it, and i'm best friends with the couch and toilet for a day.
