"have struggled for almost two years with pain when i eat and after numerous tests and several procedures/surgeries, mjy doctor told me to take percocet.  it works amazingly well.  but....after being on it for several days i go through bouts of depression - sometimes for just a few hours, sometimes for a day or two.  have tried many other drugs, however, and this is the only one that doesn&#039;t have other horrible side effects.  have great family support, so will stay with percocet."
