Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Pain "The 2021 commercial is very sincere and touching. I use tylenol and it works well for me. After see the commercial I feel like the company is in business for more reasons than just the revenue. It has worked well for me through a variety of medical issues and I will continue to use this product. Thanks"

For Pain "Tylenol has never worked even a little for me. It seems to be the go-to pain reliever at hospitals and emergency rooms here in Canada, but really does nothing, even when it's Tylenol-3. It has never even got rid a headache for me, let alone real pain. I can't count the number of times it's been prescribed for me following surgery for broken bones (for use after I'm off morphine or other opiates). It might as well be a sugar pill. My sister is the same — it just does nothing. I don't know why they still give this to people as a pain reliever. I always end up buying naproxen or ibuprofen instead."

For Pain "I have chronic pain from Fibromyalgia, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, plus three kinds of Arthritis plus a low-grade fever. Ibuprofen helps the pain from those things if I want to add severe heartburn. I take Tylenol (acetaminophen) sometimes when I'm desperate for relief. It never has helped pain, but sometimes I just to be do something. There is one thing it always does, though. It always causes nausea."

For Pain "I take acetaminophen for various reasons, mostly headaches though. I was advised to stay away from all NSAID medications due to the risk of GI bleeding when mixed with anti-depressants. Acetaminophen isn't the best pain relieving substance but it works well enough for me."

Feverall (acetaminophen) for Pain "Acetaminophen is the safest drug. It works better for pain whenever I feel pain, even generalized pain or site-specific pain. It relieves pain without any side effects like gastric irritation, gastric discomfort, nausea, vomiting, etc."

Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Fever "This is great. I've had a small pain in my head when I woke up this morning and decided to ignore it. It started getting worse and I realized I was developing a fever around 5:00PM. Even though I had the help of my younger sister to try and reduce the fever and headache, it just hasn't gone away entirely. I was unable to figure out a way to reduce the pain I was in so I called my mother and told her the pain I was in. Conveniently enough, my mother mentioned that we did have Tylenol at home. I went to the room that she told me I'd find it in. I found the Tylenol and downed a pill with water. In just a minute or two, the pain has basically completely vanished and my fever has been reduced greatly."

Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Pain "Tylenol is the most useless pain reliever I have ever tried. It does nothing for even the slightest discomfort. I would not recommend it to anyone. A combination of aspirin and ibuprofen with a cup of strong coffee is a better alternative."

Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Muscle Pain "The Tylenol bottles are way to hard to open for someone with arthritis in the hands. It's bad enough that you need to turn the cap to lineup the arrows but then you need to pry up the cap with only the small arrow to push on - there should be an easier way to open the cap. Tylenol cold even include a non-safety cap on the box. Pharmacy's provide non-safety caps and Tylenol could should also. Until they figure it out, I will not purchase another Tylenol package!"

For Sciatica "I have had a major back surgery and after tons of morphine, oxycodone, and OxyContin, the only things that takes my low back pain to zero is Buprenorphine. No type of injections worked either. However, the only thing, including all the opioids that helps my sciatic pain is Tylenol. I can’t take any NSAIDS due to kidney failure from Metformin and NSAIDS but they never helped my sciatica."

For Pain "I am unable to take NSAIDs so when I have severe headaches/migraines and body pains, I take Tylenol (or a generic acetaminophen, they act the same for me). Have done so since I was a kid, and I have always been careful to follow the dosage directions. My main issue has always been how long it takes to kick in, regardless of the brand. If I'm lucky, my pain will start to go away after half an hour. Usually it will take at least an hour to start working, and in worst cases it will take two or more hours. The pain does go away, but with the side effect of feeling 'out of it'--foggy and a little clumsier, like I'm only 2/3 there. But I would much prefer to feel that than having the severe pain. I've learned to take it when I can feel a mild headache getting worse, so that by the time it hits severe, the medicine will have kicked in. It's best to take with food, because on an empty stomach, there will be some bad nausea right after."

For Pain "I see some acetaminophen does absolutely nothing for pain, be it a headache, muscle pain, sunburn, anything I've tried it for, it failed miserably. Absolutely no noticeable pain relief. For a headache I take advil, which rocks for most types of pain, or Aleve, which is very good but not quite as good as advil. I take a quarter of an aspirin each day as a blood thinner. Avoid tylenol, I don't know why it's the best seller, maybe people take it because that's what their parents took."

Coles Paracetamol (acetaminophen) for Pain "Although I have a side effect of dry mouth and mild dizziness it takes away the pain as it should. The dry mouth appears when taking 4 or more in and 12hr period. Whereas the dizziness is more immediate 1hr after indigestion but dissipates an 1 to 2 hrs after ingestion."

Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Pain "This is my break through pain drug for occipital and trigeminal neuralgia attacks. And after brain surgery, I took this around the clock for months for the nerve pain. It took my pain level from 7 down to 2 in about half an hour and lasted 4-5 hours. I could tell when it was time to take another dose. I carry a packet of the powder form in my wallet for neuralgia emergencies."

For Sciatica "I really recommend giving actaminophen a shot. for a while it’s the only thing that would get my through the night because of my lower back and hip pain. Nothing else worked even sleeping meds. It made me comfort enough to sleep through most of the night. I'm not sure if it was because it made me drowsy or it took away the pain but it’s really a life saver"

"I would like to share my own experience with this medicine. I had a clear change in the performance of the prostate after I had a cold and a high fever, so I took two pills in the morning and two pills in the evening for about three days, and it was a very good result in the performance of the prostate."

For Back Pain "If you are unable to take anti-inflammatory pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen, Extra Strength 650mg Tylenol (Acetaminophen) can help. I can no longer take Meloxicam due to stomach ulcers, and I have been getting by with 650mg Tylenol three times a day on my bad days (still under the 4000mg per day max). Usually, I only need to take it at night and use topicals during the day. This works for now, and I have had a L1-L5 back fusion and a hip replacement."
