For Pain "Tylenol #3 or Tylenol with Codeine is one of the most effective painkiller for me however, just the original Brand is effective and generics especially the one with letter M on it just doesn't work at all. If your doctor prescribe you this pain killer just make sure it is either the Brand name or if it is generic you must not get the one with letter M on it. I have been using the Brand name for more than 10 years and any time that my insurance tried to replace it with it's generic, if it was with letter M on it I had to prove to them that it is a fake medication. Any other type of generic although is not as good as the Brand sill Okay as long as it does not have Letter M on it."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I got one impacted wisdom tooth out and another regular tooth out and I must say it doesn't help at all. Regular Tylenol usually doesn't help at all either. This stuff is useless, I'm still in agonizing pain"

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Helped with the pain after getting 4 impacted wisdom teeth out, but only when taken with ibuprofen. Problem was, after about 2 days of a single pill every 3 hours or so, I vomited for another 2-3 days."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I was prescribed this medication after returning to work 3 weeks after a moderate ankle sprain. I am alternating 800 mg of Motrin and 1000 mg of Tylenol every 6 hours around the clock, so basically I am taking something every 3 hours and icing/elevating my ankle when pain meds are due. It has been 2 months since my injury and am still in severe pain, I have had to modify my work schedule and I basically sit around doing as little as possible to rest. I am on my feet at work for 12 hours at a time, in a walking boot, which is also causing me lower back and hip pain. After I come home for work, I take 2 Tylenol #3 and it does nothing. I do not take pain medicine often, but this is providing 0 pain relief and makes me very nauseated."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Had 8 extractions today due to infection spreading through my jaw as well as a dental fistula (popped abscess) drained in 2 different spots. Antibiotics, TEC 3, and Ketorolac Tromethamine 10mg. So far the Tec 3 have done well and kept me comfortable. Just happy I don't have to cuddle up to an ice pack to sleep now. Don't read too much everyone reacts different to meds especial if they contain an opioids."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I was prescribed Tylenol with codeine for when my gallstones act up. Well it does nothing for me. This last episode of pain woke me up out of my sleep, took my Tylenol with codeine and 30 minutes later, no relief. To top it off, because I had no relief from the pain I ended up puking.....ugh! I'm better off with the ibruprofen 600mg I have from the birth of my son."

For Pain "I take this for severe joint pain. Like I can't walk at all because of the pain. I take two sometimes 3 codeine tablets (60mg) or (90mg) of codeine and it works within an hour, making it okay to walk again. It does however make me feel very, very drowsy and light headed and I'm not really with it at all but it is wonderful for relieving the pain."

For Cough "I was prescribed Tylenol with Codeine #3 30/300 to take two tablets every 4-6 hours. It worked wonders for both my cough and the pain related to my severe bronchitis I have read some double-blind studies that show that the fact that many people View codeine as inferior to, say, hydrocodone, is simply not true."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Post abdominal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior repairs and bladder lift. I was prescribed toradol 10mg scheduled every 6 hours with tylenol 3 every 4-6 as needed. As long as I don't go any longer than those minimum times I do okay with about a 4 pain level. I haven't been pain free yet but I guess that's to be expected.....tylenol 3 has worked ok but does start to wear off towards the end of the 4 hours. I must wait....it is a shame though that there is so much abuse of narcotic strength drugs like norco...they are extremely effective for post surgical pain....they are very addictive and Drs don't even like prescribing them much anymore"

For Pain "This was the most awful experience with a drug I’ve ever taken. I was up for 24 hours because I could not fall asleep, nauseated, and having brutal anxiety/paranoia. This was prescribed after I had a painful surgery. I was relatively healthy considering I lost a massive amount of weight. Others had great experiences, but unfortunately it doesn’t work with me. A waste."

For Pain "I thought it was just me; like maybe I somehow smoked too much marijuana and my body started to reject the pain relief from T3. Seems like this is not the case though because these pills do absolutely nothing. Not sure if they're some type of placebo or something but the infected cavity that I have currently sitting on my jaw nerve is supremely painful. When's the last time you seen a grown man cry? I've been taking these useless pills like candy hoping that they eventually kick in but these seemingly work slightly less better than Goody/BC powder."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I have a bad infection underneath my second molar. Never in my life, I have felt that much pain ever. I was given Tylenol with Codeine #3 once the whole thing unfroze. What a piece of junk. I could have eaten a banana, gummy bears, or drunk a glass of milk and it would have been the same result. Not even close to removing the pain. Why do they give this to people with searing dental pain?"

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I fell on concrete and they called it a chest wall contusion. Fractures don't always show up on x-ray. They gave me tylenol 3 because if I wasn't moving, I had no pain. Well, it's been over a week and I tried to work my physical labor job...PAIN!! This med hasn't helped me much except for sleep. However, I did wake up at times in pain. Too much tylenol can do liver damage so be careful not to take to much."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I have chronic pain due to Endometriosis and trust me, not pleasant at all but with this medication, it helps. It may not be as strong as I would like it to be but I'm ok it does something. I just don't want to rely on pain meds because of my daughter. However, it times of great overwhelming pain, I take one of these and a ambien and I'm out cold. Upside is I met my out of pocket and deductible so its free till end of year."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Removed tonsil was very painful. By chance I found that Tylenol 3 and aspirin combined to remove ALL pain. I take aspirin regularly but it wears off in about 4 hrs. So my first T-3 acted in conjunction with the aspirin, then wore off. So I took another T-3 and nothing happened. I realized I needed another aspirin. I took another adult aspirin - the fire went away. Then I called my Dr. He said "We know that but we don't rec it because aspirin causes some to bleed. You've been taking it a long time and you don't bleed." Tylenol 3 will also stop a severe cough, where nothing else works, e.g., from bronchiectatsis."

For Pain "I had a very large ulcerated burn, scars and joint pain. So, my doctor prescribed 30mg MSIR (morphine) twice a day and Codeine #3 with Tylenol for breakthrough pain. 300mg Tylenol and 30mg codeine is my current dosage. I was badly burned in combat and my scars are now badly ulcerated with infection causing very severe chronic nerve pain. I have to honestly say that sometimes the #3 works better than the morphine. I'm very happy with the #3 but wouldn't use it without having another pain reliever like morphine. It'll get you through, perhaps 2-3 days by itself but becomes ineffective for me using it as a single dose after 2 days; otherwise like I said it works very well for breakthrough. I've been in pain management for over 20 years and have stepped my dosages down considerably, and so far the MSIR and the Tylenol with codeine number three are the best combination I've had in the last 20 years. I hope this helps anyone looking for answers. BTW, I will be changing from the morphine to tramadol 300 mg extended release next month."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Have been taking T3 or T4 for post-surgery pain. Have discovered that as long as I take either one, my pain persists but once I stop MY PAIN GOES AWAY! Also found that NSAIDs increase the pain (had basal joint replacements in both thumbs). But I do have to say that both Ts are effective for my hip bursitis; just not worth the thumb pain when I take it. Hoping the MD can give me something for my hip that won't impact my thumbs..."

For Pain "I am annoyed to the nines that the medicine they prescribed to me for my broken ankle -broken in 3 places with a need for surgery - is also prescribed for sprains and hurt wrists and dental work. I am in so much pain that I cannot sleep. I have a decently high pain tolerance, and this is ridiculous. My body is shaking from the pain of just resting my leg, and this medicine is doing absolutely nothing."

Tylenol with Codeine (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I have been taking triptans on and off over the past 7 years even tho I favour homeopathic and naturopathic medicine over prescriptions drugs, but was desperate as suddenly getting migraines after menopause for the first time! After finally suffering rebound headaches as my Dr. did not warn me, I couldn't sleep or was being woken up with pain, so asked for tylenol 3 for the pain and after taking one a day solely for only 2 weeks, I was off the triptans, it felt like a miracle! However, once over the hurdle, don't take codeine for a long time as that can cause rebound headaches as well, but it got me thru!!"

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Suffered a SAH (sub-arachnid brain hemorrhage 7 years ago and have been taking T-3's regularly in order to deal with post incident headaches, which can be quite sudden onset primarily due to exertion at work (lots of physical work in agriculture sector). Headaches are caused by blood trapped in my cerebral spinal fluid until it can break down small enough to pass back through the membrane - zanthochromas. After taking this dosage of up to 6 tablets a day I was quite concerned about my liver functionality, however I just was tested pre-op for rotator surgery and was pleased to still have 97% functionality. Ask your dr.for a functionality test in order to make an informed decision before continuing it's use, it may not be adverse for you."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Doesn’t really work. Had masssive sinus infection with a blockage pushing on my dental nerves. I have never been in such horrible pain in my entire life. I wanted to bang my head on the floor and was prescribed these. Absolutely NOTHING. Worthless"

For Pain "First, let me say that after reading many comments I'm surprised that people use Empracet for toothaches . They should use an anti-inflammatory like celebrex or naproxin, not codeine because the pain is due to inflammation . Anyway, I'm taking Empracet 30 (Acetaminophen and Codeine ) for Shingles in my face. If you think that a tooth ache is painful, shingles is WORST. Codeine help in 2 ways. It remove the stress from having shingles, i and help for the pain . If you try to use it for something that have to do with bones ( breaking ,surgery, root canals ) it won't help much. I had a surgery in my hand and they had to cut the bones in my small finger and put some pins to hold the 2 bones together so that they fuse together. THIS was PAINFUL and Tylenol/codeine didn't do much , even if I took 2 or 3. Some new medications for pain management will come soon. I hope so. I live in Québec so the Rx if almost free , cost= $5 for 20 pills. Doctor= $0"

For Pain "Severe infection of tooth roots over a holiday weekend sent me to ER. Extreme pain prevented sleeping. ER prescribed Tramadol, which was completely usless. Dentist following Monday morning prescribed the acetaminophen/codeine with penicillin, also ibuprofen for in between pain. So far it's been good enough to allow me to sleep some. Unfortunately because of he idiots on the streets stealing and selling/abusing Vicodin and other stronger opiates the Dr's are extremely conservative now when prescribing pain meds."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I was prescribed this for abdominal pain after having a baby. Keep in mind I have a very high pain tolerance, but this helped me a lot. I was in a pretty good amount of pain, and although it didn't take away all the pain, I was able to get up and take care of my newborn and 3 year old toddler. Also I have been breastfeeding and sometimes my newborn vomits. I'm not sure if it's the medicine or that she has just been drinking too fast"
