"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) "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."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "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."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "I was prescribed T3’s after having carpal tunnel surgery. I was told to take 1-2 tablets ever 4-6 hours... I ended up taking 3 and still have a lot of pain. I’m going to end up asking my doctor for something stronger."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "It doesn't work for the pain. It's hard to get out of bed and walk back and forth to work. Doctors need to get with the program. They see what's going on and know the pain is severe, so do something about the pain so people can be active and able to work."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I've been taking this medicine for over 2 years CVS pharmacy switch manufacturers I got this pill 110 I p, had to take it for 30 days so I finally told my doctor I couldn't do it anymore I almost did not eat anything the whole month. This pill was a stimulant, had five other ingredients that I had never taken before. Next time they tried to fill it I rejected and I did not get my money back stay away from this medicine."

"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) "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."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "I got a 4x wisdom tooth extraction and frenectomy (tongue tie cut) and not only was the procedure preformed with only local anaesthetic which started to wear off 15 minutes after I walked out the door, but the T3s I was prescribed did practically nothing alone. My roommate suggested I take some ibuprofen as well, and the combination of the two has worked pretty well- I'm still pretty sore but I'm able to function. Overall I'm pretty annoyed at how limited it is as a form of pain management, but since a major function is to reduce swelling I'm willing to give it a bit of a pass. Also, it was hard to swallow and tasted like rubbish since it was a pressed tablet that sticks to your tongue+roof of mouth, especially with a swollen and sore mouth"

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "It makes you feel woozy for like 10 minutes, almost like a high feeling and then all the pain comes back. It doesn't work at all. Also, it makes my whole body sore and it says to take this every 4 hours. That's ridiculous. I would've much preferred Ibuprofen 800mg, you take it every 8 hours and it really lasts the whole time."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "I went to a urgent care for severe toothache and they gave me 300mg Tylenol /30 codeine phosphate mg and I went home and took one and 20 minutes later I started itching so I call the clinic this morning. Also I can’t take NSAIDS due to reflux . This is scary medicine and I try to get a different one and can’t because is a control substance. I told them I will drop the bottle off and they say no ."

"The entire province is out of the painkiller I have been using. I cannot even complete the prescription. Estimated time of return, March 2025. I am in agony. It's almost as bad as an anal fissure. I've had so many tests done. Nothing found yet. Another specialist in October! I'm out of the overpriced painkillers. Any NSAID hurts, acetaminophen by itself, 1000 mg, no relief. I called all the drugstores. My Dr. is sick and can't help me! I'm bedridden! Only one store carries codeine 8 mg with 300 acetaminophen and 15 mg caffeine. I drove across the city. Signed the papers. I took 32 mg codeine, 1200 mg acetaminophen, 60 mg caffeine. I took it once before when I had my wisdom teeth removed. T3s, two every 4-6. They worked well, it still hurt, but I am in a lot of pain. The wait time is months. These work better than all the other things I've been given, less expensive too. I have to ration them for a month. I can only take 3 a day."

"I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed years and years ago. I was prescribed T3's, two every 4-6 hours. I'm not sure why everyone is having such trouble. It was a month of pain. Dental pain. Rinsing the holes, ouch! Phew! For the 1st week, I took 60 mg every 4 hours. The second week was about the same. It hurt, but I could eat food. The 3rd week, I moved down to 30 mg every 4 hours, sometimes 60 if I was in pain. The last week of the month, I used 30 mg every 6 hours. Without it, I can't imagine the pain. It made it manageable. Thankfully, the Dr. gave me plenty for the month. I could have taken two every 6 hours for a month. I didn't need to. They don't cut the pain away completely, but if they did, I would not be coherent."

Tylenol with Codeine #4 (acetaminophen / codeine) "It was awful. All of a sudden the pain in my abdomen was so severe I thought I was dying. I took Tums, Peto Bismal, Alkaseltzer nothing helped. I couldn’t lay down I couldn’t stand up. I just leaned on the toilet for about four hours. It was the worst pain ever."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday morning and it’s been incredibly painful. The swelling is terrible and I can’t close my mouth, let alone move it at all. I was prescribed T-3 and it’s doing nothing for me. It takes more than an hour to “kick in” whatsoever, and then wears off within another hour or 2 (and I’m taking the max dosage, which is 2 tablets every 4 hours). This is awful."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "Worked very well for me when combined with gabapentin 300 mg three times a day for bad tooth pain. I had a 5 out of 10 pain including a badly bruised ankle from a work injury. I feel the bad reviews are from people who took generics or are in very bad pain and their doctors won't give the right meds."

Tylenol with Codeine #3 (acetaminophen / codeine) "I was just prescribed this for a tooth extraction. It has barely done anything, if at all- to ease any of my pain. Generic ibuprofen has worked better. I took my prescription pill at 9pm and its almost midnight and hasn't 'kicked in' yet. So I've got to wait a bit to take ibuprofen. The pills I was prescribed doesn't show a mg and the dentist office told me that's the strongest they give! I am now wondering if the antibiotics they gave will even help!"

"Oh man, twice a day dosing for the pain I am in is very hard, if not impossible. I am taking 8 mg tablets with caffeine and acetaminophen. More like 3 times a day, it's 2 every 6 hours. I need to get in touch with my doctor, these are not going to last. They are quite restrictive with opiates sometimes. Hopefully, I can be prescribed any painkiller. I tried 1,000 mg of regular acetaminophen, it does nothing. Two to three of these are more effective with only 600 to 900 mg. Since I don't drink cola or coffee, 30 to 45 mg of caffeine is enough to keep me awake. At the low dose, I am taking 16 to 24 mg every 6 hours. I'm not constipated at all. I hope I can get an appointment as soon as possible. I need something to tide me over till October. I'm taking it for abdominal pain. I've had many tests."
