Percocet is a prescription opioid pain medication commonly used to treat moderate to severe pain, especially after surgery or injury. For many people, it provides short-term relief when used exactly as prescribed. But over time, Percocet can become hard to control and may begin to affect the brain, mood, relationships, work, and physical health. Because it’s prescribed by a doctor and often associated with legitimate pain treatment, the risks of dependence, misuse, and addiction are frequently overlooked or minimized.
This section explores how Percocet affects the body and brain, including signs of misuse, withdrawal symptoms, health risks, and treatment options. Whether you’re worried about your own use or someone you love, these resources are here to offer guidance and support.
