Percocet....?

Does Percocet make you really tired?
I've just been given it because of a really debilitating migraine, and I'm just curious as to how out of it I'll be once I take it.
Thanks.

Percocet is a very strong pain killer........it might make you very drowsy......so don't take it then drive somewhere...make sure that you are at home to see how it affects you...before trying to drive somewhere.....This is a very constipating medication...you might want to take a stool softener while on the Percocet........sometimes people have an allergic reaction to this medicine, so if you experience alot of itching, swelling of the tongue, or itchiness of the eyes call your doctor or pharmacist right away!! Remember, everyone is different, so what affects 1 person may not affect the other.
Good Luck and God Bless

thanks very much!
Oxycodone (opiates in general), are scientifically known to produce euphoria, so you might get high, if in that case, make sure u dont take more to gett more high, becuase, im an addict, i know...if u have any question about pharmacuticals ask me, i know everything about every painkiller

    Everyone responds differently to it. It makes alot of people tired and sleepy and I know a couple people who got antsy when they took it. Don't drive after you take it.

    It effects everyone differently. It makes me tired and gives me weird dreams. It can make you constipated too.
