For Pain "Had a bout of awful strep throat, pain in the left side of my throat as well as the left ear, excruciating pain for me to swallow! Doc first prescribed Naproxen, didn't do anything for me except make me want to vomit and stay nauseous after I'd even tried to eat something. Prescribed me some Tylenol 3 with codeine, and within 30 minutes of having a moderately somewhat full tummy, I feel the great effects of it already, less pain, but will be using until my strep has cleared and pain has gone, so we will see if the effect still lasts after a few days!"

For Pain "I developed severe lower back nerve pain, which became almost intolerable and severely limited my range of motion; I could barely walk. I was prescribed Tylenol 3, 2 tablets every 4 hours. The first day, it worked great, but the next day, I was vomiting and became severely constipated. The doctor switched me to Celebrex, which did little for the pain. Trying the Tylenol with a stool softener, drinking more water, hoping I don't get nauseated."

For Pain "Helped with the pain after getting 4 impacted wisdom teeth out, but only when taken with ibuprofen. Problem was, after about 2 days of a single pill every 3 hours or so, I vomited for another 2-3 days."

For Pain "I was prescribed Tylenol with codeine for when my gallstones act up. Well, it does nothing for me. This last episode of pain woke me up out of my sleep, took my Tylenol with codeine, and 30 minutes later, no relief. To top it off, because I had no relief from the pain, I ended up puking...ugh! I'm better off with the ibuprofen 600 mg I have from the birth of my son."

For Pain "I was prescribed this for abdominal pain after having a baby. Keep in mind I have a very high pain tolerance, but this helped me a lot. I was in a pretty good amount of pain, and although it didn't take away all the pain, I was able to get up and take care of my newborn and 3-year-old toddler. Also, I have been breastfeeding and sometimes my newborn vomits. I'm not sure if it's the medicine or that she has just been drinking too fast."
