Pain
"I started using Percocet approximately nine months ago &amp; for the first time in many years I was relatively pain free &amp; could function again. I had no side effects, was alert and never groggy. My dosage was gradually increased from 5/325 to 10. (23 years ago I ruptured a disk at C4/C5 causing debilitating occipital headaches and neck pain. I now have chronic cervical &amp; lumbar pain due to degenerative disk disease &amp; other issues.)  The only problem I found with Percocet was  that it would work for about 1-2 hours and then the pain would return with four hours before my next dosage. Last week I was switched to 10 mg. Opana and once it got in my system, I can go for at least 4 hours relatively pain free. Still need a long lasting medication."
