It is possible to gain weight when taking pain medication for a prolonged period of time. If you are taking this powerful medication you must be in a lot of pain. This means that you probably cannot move around and exercise like you normally would- hence the weight gain.

I don't think that Weight gain is one of the known side effects of Percocet.

Be careful with the length of time you take this medication as studies have shown that medications containing acetaminophen can cause liver damage. Not to mention that this drug is highly addicitive.
