Pain
"I have Psoriasis/psoriatic Arthritis with back surgery and implants. Percocet combined with several other drugs to form I guess a narcotic cocktail has given me several years of life I otherwise would not have had what less be able to enjoy. 

I do have some side effects but they are manageable and worth dealing with. My worse side effects are the drugs have caused my stool to become dry and hard to pass however with the addition of Miralax that problem has been completely resolved there are others but nothing that would make me even consider stopping or even reducing the meds.

My personal opinion is take them responsibly don&#039;t change doctors or pharmacies take them exactly as directed even if you dont think you need one at that time don&#039;t stop therapeutic dosages as I have learned this lesson the hard way."
