For Pain "Tylenol 3 did not work for me. I was suffering from unbearable pain from a tooth infection that kept me up all night. After 30 mins, the pain did not go away. After 1 hour, still no relief. I wouldn't recommend this medicine to anyone."

For Pain "I had two root canals done two days ago. I was prescribed ibuprofen 800 for pain and an antibiotic. I am in so much pain from one of the teeth. My whole mouth, jaw, and ear hurt. I’m in agony. I called for a better painkiller and got Tylenol 3 with codeine. It’s not working at all. It’s Sunday, so I have to wait until tomorrow. I thought Tylenol 3 would help, but it’s not."

For Osteoarthritis "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."

For Cough "I had a sudden violent cough that has lasted over a month. I have seen 5 different doctors, 3 sets of chest x-rays, a CT scan, 3 rounds of antibiotics, 4 different cough medicines, a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), and 2 trips to the ER, one was from coughing so hard I popped a rib out of place. I also have an appointment with a specialist. So far, no one has been able to tell me what is causing the cough, hopefully, the specialist will be able to come up with an answer. The ONLY thing that would give me any relief from the cough was Tylenol 3 with codeine. I have to take it every 4-5 hours, and in my line of work, I am not allowed to work taking 120-150 mg of codeine, so I am currently on medical leave until I can see the specialist."

For Pain "I have chronic lower back pain with scoliosis and some lumbar area degenerative disease. Tylenol 3 is the only drug that my Dr.s will prescribe. The problem is it keeps me awake all night. I consequently use it sparingly, and I live in pain. I had an epidural today and pray for some relief when the meds kick in."

For Pain "I have very swollen lymph nodes in my neck, causing headaches, jaw pain, and swelling. I take 2 pills at once every eight hours, and it takes about an hour to kick in, and it lasts about an additional 6 to 7 hours."

For Pain "Have an infected tooth, was prescribed 600 mg ibuprofen, alternating with Tylenol every 6 hrs (3 pm take one type, 6 pm take the other, sort of thing) and T3s with codeine for overnight to help me sleep. Took 1 T3 at 1 pm and I'm wide awake at 2 am in agony from the pain and waiting for my next ibuprofen to kick in. T3s are crap!!!"

For Pain "I would say by itself this doesn't work very well, but if you take it with an anti-inflammatory like Advil or something, it works better. I took this for a severe ear infection, and while it didn't totally make the pain go away, it made it more tolerable."

For Pain "Have suffered with fibro and arthritis for years. Nothing has helped, including Lyrica, Cymbalta, Celebrex, Nambutome. I was prescribed Tylenol 3 in late September. It's now December, and just one Tylenol 3 a day has helped remarkably and eliminates Nambutome twice a day plus Xanax to help me sleep. Finally, something that helps, and my PA is mortified to continue prescribing!!!"

For Pain "I have been having severe pain due to an infection in my cheek from my wisdom teeth. I went to the emergency room because it was on a weekend that I experienced this pain and was prescribed T3s and Amoxicillin for the infection. After taking 2 T3s and waiting an hour, the pain still seems to be throbbing. I don't know if it works for different people or what, but I am for sure disappointed and frustrated."

For Pain "My wisdom tooth got infected (pericoronitis), and the left side of my face is currently throbbing. I was prescribed penicillin along with ibuprofen 600 mg. The penicillin takes a few days to kick in, and ibuprofen does absolutely nothing. I called the doc back, and they prescribed Tylenol #3. At first, I was excited to relieve my pain, but after about 2 hours into my medication, I still felt no relief. I hate pills and generally don't take anything on a regular basis (2 Advil for headaches when they rarely occur), so I don't have a tolerance for medicine. Tylenol #3 did absolutely nothing for me. Might as well have not taken anything at all. Garbage!"

For Pain "I am in severe pain. I believe I need 2 root canals. I went to the ER, and my doctor prescribed Tylenol 3. The dosage is 1 every 4 hours. Please believe me when I say the pain has not subsided AT ALL. I do not even feel sleepy. Even that would be some relief. I contacted the hospital about this, and I have to go back to the ER to be re-evaluated and pay another 800. The earliest I can be seen by my dentist is in another 14 days."

For Pain "Works great for my pain due to a torn Achilles tendon. Unfortunately, with the current paranoia surrounding pain medications, good luck getting Tylenol #3. There are no doctors who will even write you a script for it anymore and will instead tell you to get OTC Advil or Tylenol."

For Pain "Went to the ER for fever and strep throat. My back was hurting very badly as well. I was prescribed a few things, but Tylenol 3 for pain. It makes me very groggy and sleepy, and I like that because I'd rather sleep the day away than sit up. Makes me kind of dizzy, but not too bad. Works well for pain and sleep."

For Pain "I just had a tooth extraction #13, was prescribed Tylenol 3, and it barely worked. I've taken two within 6 hrs, and nothing has happened. Instead, I feel more pain, and it's causing me a severe headache. Will go back to my oral surgeon to see if I can get something stronger. What a waste!!!"

For Pain "Got my wisdom tooth removed. I had a surgical procedure because my tooth was impacted. I had to take 3 pills within 6 hours. It barely worked, the side of my face is still throbbing and in pain. I couldn't take more because of the acetaminophen. Going back to the dentist tomorrow to get something stronger instead."

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 "I have really bad pain/fibromyalgia/osteoarthritis possibly. My pain doctor prescribed me this pill, and it has been a godsend. The only side effect I get is nausea. I take a Zofran if it’s bad, it really helps my pain. It helps me function in life again."

For Pain "I have chronic neurological pain as well as lower back/hip pain. As I have aged (I'm 52), dealing with chronic pain has evolved for me. In my 30s and 40s, my primary care doctor at the time prescribed T3 as well as hydrocodone and morphine extended release. Have to say, my pain was obliterated, I didn't feel pain, heck, I didn't feel anything. I was a mess and had such a high tolerance that my daily life consisted of barely getting up off the couch. Fast forward to the present. I now live in a different state and have a great new primary care physician. I have been taking Lyrica for neurological pain in my feet, which didn't work well for me. So she prescribed Gabapentin 800 mg twice a day and Tylenol 3 twice a day as needed."

For Pain "Tylenol with Codeine #3 does nothing for me. Plain aspirin is more effective. I have been prescribed Codeine several times, many times even, over my lifetime, and each time. It seems as if I took nothing at all. I don't know why, but I just shake my head and even laugh when they prescribe it. After trying it yet again, thinking it was just a mistake or they made it better, again, it does absolutely nothing to relieve pain. I take several of them, and usually about halfway through the prescription given to me by the doctor, I switch to plain aspirin to get some relief from pain."

For Pain "Just took 1 300-30 mg as a replacement for the Davorcet, which was withdrawn recently. I used that sparingly and ran out a month ago. I have rheumatoid arthritis, 'fibro', and osteoarthritis among other health problems, so I am in some sort of constant pain daily. My doctor is very conservative about giving me prescription pain medicine, so I am to cut in half and take no more than a grand total of 1 pill a day. Not sure he understands my pain, but I have to follow his orders. I have to save this for my most severe days and when I absolutely have to get things done. Use Excedrin migraine and Advil on other days."

For Pain "I got my four wisdom teeth out, and the pain was unbearable! I don't handle pain very well, but one T3 and two Advil made me not feel pain or anything! And the T3s made me very sleepy, so I could rest!"

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."
