For Pain "I was quite sore from excessive coughing from an up-and-down bout with the flu. Took one Tylenol 3 tab as prescribed and was actually able to sit up and move around in bed with no pain. However, it did make me slightly dizzy with mild stomach upset. I would not take it when I have to be up and about. Took it at night anyway so I could rest. I can live with the side effects since it's nighttime and I'm in bed anyway."

For Pain "I am currently taking this medication for moderate pain reduction. I hurt my wrist by falling on concrete stairs. It does reduce the pain and works very well. The only downside is stomach upset, nausea, and extreme sleepiness. I do not have any kind of narcotic tolerance. This medicine is for minor to moderate relief of pain and should be used as such. This medicine, in my book, scores an 8 out of 10 points for managing moderate pain. Highly recommend."

For Pain "Tylenol with Codeine #3 is 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, it worked great for me."
