"for nerve injury i was taking lyrica and vicodin - the only combination that helped (after much trial and error). then i had ended up with surgery (ovary removal) and dr prescribed percocet 5-325. it is a wonder medicine. the first day slightly nauseous, but that quickly went away. i now prefer the percocet; doesn&#039;t make me as sleepy as vicodin. i break pills in half, spreading it throughout the day to just dial down the pain enough for me to be cheerful and productive but not zoned out. i gave it a 9 out of 10 because it does cause constipation (take colace otc)."
