I have been taking percocet 5/325 for rotator cuff surgery and now every time its time to take my next dose I start feeling like I have bronchitis or the flu....is this a symptom or do I possibly have one or the other and the percocet is making me feel better?

Perocet (acetaminophen/oxycodone); oxycodone is an opioid agent used in the management of drug. The symptoms you are seeing is most most probably due to low levels of oxycodone at the end. This is a kind off withdrawal reaction to oxycodone. So discuss these symptoms with your caregiver to alter the dose.
Once there is relief from pain; do not abruptly discontinue the drug rather taper the dosage and stop slowly.
