Hello, Janni! How are you?

Yes, those symptoms could be from the Percocet.

The FDA lists it as containing Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. The latter is a narcotic and they basically work as a depressant in the body to alleviate pain.

Other side effects you may experience could possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and constipation, as well as the risk of it being habit forming.

If you want to stop taking them, working with your doctor to set up a proper tapering schedule would be the best idea to help prevent withdrawal effects.

What is the dosage and how many do you take each day?
