"It does take the edge off the pain. Taken every 6 hours, the effects weaken and pain returns after 5-6 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 from my osteoarthritis. My doctor took me off of it recently, but nothing has worked as well."

"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 overdoes 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 helping with 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."
