"It does take the edge off the pain. Taken every 6 hours, the effects weaken and pain returns after 6-5 hours. Side effects can be dizziness so do not operate a vehicle, etc. another side effect can be constipation if taken for more than several days. An OTC stool softener is recommended by my doctor."

"Took Tylenol 3 for osteoarthritis for 2 years and it worked great usually took only 1 tablet before bed to take the edge off the pain for my osteoarthritis. My doctor took me off of it recently but nothing has worked as good."

"I have had two hip replacements, one being 13 years ago, the other 7. Excruciating pain occurs in my SI every now and then, of course when one over does it. T3's are the most reliable relief, two extra strength tylenols don't even touch the discomfort and pain intensity. Whereas, with one T3, I can actually perform daily tasks. I do not usually use it for more than two days in a row.. and usually many months apart. I have positive results and they work so well."

"I have many health conditions and I take two tylenol 3 three or four times per day. I have for over 2 years as well as many meds in my blister pack. Unfortunately the Tylenol 3 is not releasing and help for my pain. My pain is worse on rainy damp days."

"It helps. With arthritis pain, one twice per day, have reflux problems, have to take it with food. Tramadol did not do this, tramadol made me dizzy."

"I take 4 or 5 Tylenol # 3's per day. Seems to work for my neck and shoulder at about a factor of 80%. Also helps a bit with being bummed out and also with minor depression. Hope this helps. P.S. I like this better than Vicodin. Vicodin gives me a headache, for some reason. "
