Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I was prescribed Tylenol #3 following a wisdom tooth extraction on my right side. Unfortunately for me, Tylenol#3 did nothing for the pain unless I took 2 pills, even then the discomfort never went away. Pain was excruciating and the buzz/pain relief only lasted a couple of hours. ADVIL and an ICE PACK did a better job than this drug. If your doctor prescribes this to you following a surgical procedure/extraction, PLEASE try to request something BETTER. I had my left side wisdom teeth extracted and was prescribed oxycodone by my previous surgeon. Pain was incredibly tolerable and the recovery was a breeze! It's unfortunate that these new doctor's are so scared to prescribe what these pills were designed for - REAL PAIN - not everyone is trying to catch a buzz..."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "After I was discharged from intensive care, I reported no pain, and no pain killers were given previously. After given Tylenol 3 in liquid form, and I started to experience pain with an extra large headache. The pain was in my eyes, temples, and ears not to mention throat. I got cold and my legs started to shake. Then I experienced more swelling in my throat than before, but I thought that this was post op normal. After the second dose I started to panic quietly inside and I couldn't get liquid Advil out of my mind! The nurse only had tablets, so my husband arrived and rushed me to the pharmacy to get some Chldrens liquid Advil, and 30 minutes later I was pain free! I'm not touching my prescription for Tylenol 3 and will tell the doc ASAP."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "It dulled the edge of my tooth pain but it does not take it away. I can’t lay down with the type of tooth pain I have and it’s almost unbearable most of the day unless I’m carrying cold water in my mouth. This medication is a joke and makes me feel drunk and confused, on top of the fact is plugs you up, it’s also caused me withdrawal when it wears off."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I just started on these Tylenol with Codeine #3, I have had chronic pain since 2005 and have been on norco for 8 yrs for a fusions in neck. My sister was dying in hospice and I was packed to go be with her in last days and out of the blue they called for a pill count> mind you<they haven't called for pill count in 8 yrs. And I said one cuss word to the girl because she said you may get kicked out and they did because of me cussing - true story - so I had to find someone else and started me on tylonol with codeine useless for pain, the other doctor messed me up."

For Pain "I have been taking this medicine now for over 13 years. I used to take as much as 9 #4 a day. I now take only 4 pills a day. I get very bad pains in my feet because of being a diabetic, I have stopped getting pain by not waiting until the pain starts. It helps me sleep and most of the time it prevents the pain from starting. "

For Pain "My 8 year old son was given this after his molar extraction. We hesitated to give it to him but that was expected. Afterwards he didn't complain of pain, didn't think it would be that effective. He did however complain about feeling sleepy and drowsy and wanting to get up and play."

For Cough "This comment is for NightShadow. Do you take Lisipril by any chance, for blood pressure? I had that same disgusting constant cough for 2 years. I was in the salvation army doing my cough and one of the employees commented that she use to have the same cough. She linked it to the Lisipril. And sure enough!!!! That was the problem."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I have been taking this medicine since 2017, and in 4 hour intervals, it really does help and like people have said on here, we need our pain medicine. I was born with a prominent vertebrae around T11, that is visibly posteriorly pushed outward. The pain gets bad in the morning and at the end of the day, my saving grace is the Tylenol 3. 100 tabs per month, the pharmacy considers it a 16 day supply but I stretch the 100 tabs to a 30 day supply by taking them every 5 hours while I’m awake… totalling 3-4 per day."

For Pain "I had pain on both sides of my mouth probably 6 or 7. I went to the dentist had my teeth cleaned and was prescribed ibuprofen and penicillin until my appointment to have four teeth extracted. Went back after a month and the pain was unbearable. Appointment was scheduled 2 months after my original visit. Second time with unbearable pain I was prescribed Tylenol 3. It did absolutely nothing for my pain."

For Pain "Dr. prescribed generic brand Tylenol #4 for arthritis, knee, back pain. I had been in pain at a level of 8-10. I was sent for Pain Management, no help. Dr. prescribed the acetaminophen with codeine 3 times a day and so last 5 years pain at a level of 3-4. For me it works. It has very low addiction rate. "Codeine is a weak opioid, about 10% is metabolized to morphine. Still potential for abuse-addiction." That depends on individual. Long term use can cause issues, patient should be tested and followed by Dr. I moved from Birmingham to Mobile Ala. The Mobile Dr. was terrified, said he would not risk losing his license. This is a Schedule III drug. Does not cause majority users to become addicted to it. This Dr. was unwilling to help or discuss it, said take OTC pain remedy. Checked with med. ins. co., pharmacy, it's approved, can be prescribed by Dr. with refills."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "This pill does 100 percent absolutely nothing. For the people who are saying it works, I'm convinced it’s just a placebo for you guys cause it really does nothing, like at all, no effect or anything it does nothing I promise you. Ibuprofen works like 14x better."

For Pain "Dulled the toothache after my root canal infection got fixed. Did NOT take it completely away. I couldn't eat either. Made me too sleepy to drive and, possibly, grouchy (that could have been from the procedure too). Easy to use."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I take Tylenol 3 for tension migraines. For about 5 years, I took two pills and they eliminated the pain within 45-60 minutes. Worked every time for 5 years, and only recently has effectiveness decreased. A couple of months ago, I had to increase my dosage to 2.5 pills to achieve the same result. Tylenol 3 only works for my migraines. I recently had dental work done, and had to take something stronger for the pain."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "I take Tylenol 3 for tension migraines. For about 15 years, I took two pills and they eliminated the pain within 30 minutes. Worked every time for 15 years, and only recently has effectiveness decreased. A couple of months ago, I had to increase my dosage to 3 pills to achieve the same result. I have talked to a lot of people and they have said the same thing. I think they have changed the drugs in the pills now."

For Pain "I have to take this following surgery to remove hardware from my ankle, I thought that it would work and it simply did not. I don't even notice any difference after taking it, except maybe that I would like to throw up. I took a full dose and it never kicked in at all, I should be able to walk but due to the pain I can't even move. I really need something stronger, and this is coming from someone who has a really high pain tolerance."

For Pain "I need to get a wisdom tooth removed and have been taking up to 3200 mg of ibuprofen daily for a month and a half. I explained to my dentist my concerns about taking so much ibuprofen so he prescribed me tylenol 3. I've never taken any sort of high end pain killers so I don't have any tolerance. I continued taking ibuprofen despite the fact my dentist prrscribed the t3s until today when the ibuprofen wouldn't even touch the pain. It kicked in pretty quickly but all it did was erased the pain for twenty minutes and made me feel high which I hated. Had to pop another ibuprofen once the pain instantly came back. Thought it would work better then this."

For Pain "Tylenol 3 was given to me to try for back pain, I might as well have been given candy pills, it did not work at all for pain, if you take anything with codeine make sure you eat first, all it did for me was make me sleepy and sick. I now take Tramadol for pain it works great."

For Pain "I took T3 after having surgery. It definitely took the pain away. It also caused confusion. I couldn't remember if I took the pills that day or not. I'd have to recount the pills to make sure I didn't mess up my dose. I could not understand what people were saying to me. I had to read their lips. I couldn't feel pain. I laughed hysterically when I tore our my stitches had to be carried back to bed because I couldn't move. I felt paranoid. Like something bad was going to happen. It is not something I enjoy taking. I didn't even finish the prescription. It was too intense for me."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) for Pain "Barely touched the pain. Went from a level 9 to level 8. I was previously on butrans patches that worked wonderfully and took me down to a lever 5/4 pain but it made me severely nauseous so I was switched to codeine. Do not recommend."
