"Docs are so scared to give pain meds these days. I understand, but damn, if you need them, you need them. I had a spinal fusion and laminectomy, and they gave me T3 (Tylenol with Codeine #3). I mean, really? I'm in pain. Like can't move from my bed kind of pain, and I get T3. What has happened to the world."

"My wisdom tooth came in and shattered, and I've been in immense pain. I was prescribed Tylenol 3, and it doesn't take the pain away, it doesn't even take the edge off. I just want to scream because it hurts so bad. I can't even close my mouth anymore."

"I am experiencing very bad tooth pain to where I feel like crying. I was prescribed Tylenol #3, so I took it and it did absolutely nothing for my pain. That was a complete waste of my money. I will be going back to taking the Advil and Tylenol combo."

"Had two molars extracted today. Prescribed T3s for pain. May as well take children's aspirin. Hurting horribly right now. I had 4 children with no pain meds. I know pain, and T3s do nothing for me. Damn."

"I had a severe toothache, and my dentist gave me a prescription for this Tylenol with Codeine, not many, but just to ease my pain. It worked miracles. I do not see it as habit forming, but the pain is gone when I take two a day in 6-hour intervals."

"I have a dry socket from the right lower molar extraction and was prescribed this medication for the severe pain. This pain is unbearable, and Tylenol with codeine does nothing for it. If I could give this a 0, I would. I don’t know why this is still on the market, Advil did more for me."

"My lower left teeth were in pain and my left jaw became swollen. I was in terrible pain and went to my dentist for an emergency. Turns out I had an infection. I was prescribed Tylenol 3 for pain and boy did it work wonders. Also, the codeine helped to relax me from the facial pain. I recommend this to anyone who, like myself, doesn't take pills on a regular basis. Some people have a tolerance to low-dose pain medications, so I think this is why Tylenol 3 gets the shaft from heavy pill takers."

"First, I must let you know I have a congenital disability that has become more severe in pain at my age of sixty-seven. I am somewhat more concerned over my pain medication, which has today become a much more challenging issue in obtaining. Anyway, it is almost impossible for me to obtain good pain medication without jumping through many hoops, which I am sure some of you are now experiencing. Boy, would I love to discuss that issue with you. Anyway, I have found that Tylenol with Codeine #3 is somewhat easy for me to get a prescription for, and it will work well with my Methadone I am now on for pain. So, sure, I do believe Tylenol with Codeine is a good choice, it is very affordable, and for us with pain, it is for now. Somewhat less challenging to get our hands on, I just wish the medical model and those in control of our pain medication understood they are actually harming us with severe pain. We don't sell our medication because we need every pill...good luck, friends."

"I have a cavity that is deep into the root of my tooth that is causing me a lot of pain. Went to the dentist, and they are going to end up pulling it. But in the meantime, they gave me Tylenol with codeine, and it won't even touch the pain!"

"I have been on pain medicine for about 2 decades due to pain caused by a motorbike crash. Broke my leg in three parts and crushed ankle, etc. At first, they put me on many pain medicines like morphine, oxy, and many others, but I got very addicted to them due to my severe pain. So my doctors started cutting down slowly, and they started using Tylenol 3 and therapy. So now it has been over two decades, and I am taking 6 Tylenol 3 a day with therapy. I am doing okay. I have to admit there are days that I have severe pain that Tylenol 3 relieves a little. My advice for you out there that will have to take painkillers (that is what I call them) for a very long time, before you would get out of control with them, go for therapy to know how to have self-control over them."

"Prescribed Tylenol with codeine for pain following tooth extraction. Made me feel buzzed, but did nothing about the pain. Do not take it and drive or use machinery. I thought it might help me sleep, but before I could fall asleep, I started itching really bad, so no, not good for that either. It's really a waste of money."

"I was prescribed Tylenol with codeine T3 for a bad toothache that I’ve been having. It was due to a cavity deep in my tooth which was a root canal. It stopped hurting after a couple of minutes, and the pain isn’t on the tooth anymore, so relieved!!"

"I got all four wisdom teeth out two days ago and was prescribed this medication by the specialist I saw. The actual procedure went well, but as soon as I got home (about an hour post-op), the throbbing pain in my upper and lower jaw began. I was unable to sleep the first few hours, then slept for about two during the night. The second day was worse, I wasn’t able to sleep at all, and the second night I began throwing up. I am awake now, in pain on the third day. Switching to normal Advil to hopefully get some pain relief. :("

"My husband and I suffered the loss of our baby (7/2/14), and I needed a D&C the following day due to severe blood loss. I was on Percocet 5/325's for 1 week and then lowered to Vicodin 5/325's. I went to my FP, and he prescribed Tylenol 3's for my menstrual cramps. He said to take it with 3-4 ibuprofen. Tylenol 3's hardly ever work for me. When taken in combination together, they work great."

"I have suffered from chronic joint pain my entire life. After trying almost every non-narcotic option there is, I finally was prescribed Tylenol #3. I had been given Vicodin in the past by an NP (despite not really wanting it) and had not found it to be effective. The codeine, though, has made a huge difference. I haven't had any of the negative effects with it (stomach pain, dizziness, etc.), but have gotten a huge amount of pain relief. It isn't extremely strong, it won't take me from a 10 to a 0, but it will get me to a bearable 1 or 2."

"I suffer from chronic hip pain for several years now and have been prescribed a variety of narcotics to manage my pain. I must say that Tylenol #3 (2 pills every 4-6 hours as needed) provides enough relief to get me through the bad days and not feel 'doped up' so I can still function at work."

"I use several narcotics for the daily chronic pain I suffer from. Also, I have glaucoma and uveitis, which is an eye disease I also suffer from. When I run out of my Vicodin, I use Tylenol 3 until I get my script filled. I think it works great. Love my Tylenol 3. With a daughter with special needs, I need my pain controlled."

"I have had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed 2 days ago. To deal with the pain after my numbing injections wore off, I was prescribed Tylenol 3. When I got home, the pain from the operation was already starting to kick in, so I took one at 5 pm (which was when I got home) in hope of relieving my pain before trying to get to bed. I sat there in pain for the next 12 hrs, taking another pill every 4 hrs, and not a single bit of pain relief or drowsiness came to my aid."

"Had a secondary molar extracted and was prescribed Tylenol 3 for pain. It has not alleviated the pain at all. I have a fairly reasonable pain threshold (had major abdominal surgery 1 year ago and didn't require this much pain management). Revisited the dentist today for pain (concern with possible infection or dry socket). All is healing well, so I don't understand why the entire side of my face hurts. Don't recommend T3 for dental pain management. It's making me drowsy, but that's it. I've had to take 1 every 4 hours, and the last dose I doubled up and took 2. Still didn't help. I don't think it's made any difference at all :("

"I was given this in the hospital when the pulmonary embolism had shifted very painfully. Helped get me from a pain level of 6 or 7 down to a reasonable 1 or 2. Had been given Norco and even morphine previously, but they were so strong I slept over 18 hours a day. Would definitely recommend Tylenol with codeine to someone in moderate pain."

"Tylenol 3 did not work for me. I was suffering from unbearable pain from a tooth infection that kept me up all night. After 30 mins, the pain did not go away. After 1 hour, still no relief. I wouldn't recommend this medicine to anyone."

"I had two root canals done two days ago. I was prescribed ibuprofen 800 for pain and an antibiotic. I am in so much pain from one of the teeth. My whole mouth, jaw, and ear hurt. I’m in agony. I called for a better painkiller and got Tylenol 3 with codeine. It’s not working at all. It’s Sunday, so I have to wait until tomorrow. I thought Tylenol 3 would help, but it’s not."

"I have very swollen lymph nodes in my neck, causing headaches, jaw pain, and swelling. I take 2 pills at once every eight hours, and it takes about an hour to kick in, and it lasts about an additional 6 to 7 hours."

"I have chronic lower back pain with scoliosis and some lumbar area degenerative disease. Tylenol 3 is the only drug that my Dr.s will prescribe. The problem is it keeps me awake all night. I consequently use it sparingly, and I live in pain. I had an epidural today and pray for some relief when the meds kick in."

"Have an infected tooth, was prescribed 600 mg ibuprofen, alternating with Tylenol every 6 hrs (3 PM take one type, 6 PM take the other, sort of thing) and T3s with codeine for overnight to help me sleep. Took 1 T3 at 1 PM and I'm wide awake at 2 AM in agony from the pain and waiting for my next ibuprofen to kick in. T3s are crap!!!"
