"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 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 great for pain after 6 teeth were extracted to make room for my dentures lol. The only negative was I had incredibly irritating stomach cramps that lasted a few hours afterward otherwise worked great for me"

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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."

"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 ."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"I have come to the conclusion thru reading the comments below that the biggest addiction and overdose threat from this medication comes with the fact they don't treat moderate to severe pain."
