For Pain "It dulled the edge of my tooth pain, but it does not take it away. I can’t lay down with the type of tooth pain I have, and it’s almost unbearable most of the day unless I’m carrying cold water in my mouth. This medication is a joke and makes me feel drunk and confused. On top of the fact, it plugs you up, it’s also caused me withdrawal when it wears off."

For Pain "I have chronic pain due to endometriosis, and trust me, not pleasant at all, but with this medication, it helps. It may not be as strong as I would like it to be, but I'm okay, it does something. I just don't want to rely on pain meds because of my daughter. However, in times of great overwhelming pain, I take one of these and an Ambien, and I'm out cold. Upside is I met my out-of-pocket and deductible, so it's free until the end of the year."

For Pain "I have been taking this medicine since 2017, and in 4-hour intervals, it really does help, and like people have said on here, we need our pain medicine. I was born with a prominent vertebra around T11 that is visibly posteriorly pushed outward. The pain gets bad in the morning and at the end of the day, my saving grace is the Tylenol 3. 100 tabs per month, the pharmacy considers it a 16-day supply, but I stretch the 100 tabs to a 30-day supply by taking them every 5 hours while I’m awake… totaling 3-4 per day."

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 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."

For 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."

For Pain "I was prescribed T3's after having carpal tunnel surgery. I was told to take 1-2 tablets every 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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "On Tylenol with Codeine #3 for arthritis and sciatica, and I get great pain control. Use as required. Usually two tablets 2x a day. Before bed works great. Causes constipation now. Drink lots of water."

For Pain "Took literally 45 minutes to kick in when I have severe, debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and I had a bad fall. Went to ER, gave me this while I went in for x-ray, still no relief. Finally, 45 minutes, I can feel my pain slightly go away."

For Pain "Have been taking T3 or T4 for post-surgery pain. Have discovered that as long as I take either one, my pain persists, but once I stop, my pain goes away! Also found that NSAIDs increase the pain (had basal joint replacements in both thumbs). But I do have to say that both Ts are effective for my hip bursitis; just not worth the thumb pain when I take it. Hoping the MD can give me something for my hip that won't impact my thumbs..."

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."

For Osteoarthritis "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."

For Pain "I got a 4x wisdom tooth extraction and frenectomy (tongue tie cut), and not only was the procedure performed with only local anesthetic, 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 and roof of mouth, especially with a swollen and sore mouth."

For Pain "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 800 mg, you take it every 8 hours, and it really lasts the whole time."

For Pain "I went to urgent care for a severe toothache, and they gave me 300 mg Tylenol / 30 codeine phosphate mg, and I went home and took one. Twenty minutes later, I started itching, so I called the clinic this morning. Also, I can’t take NSAIDs due to reflux. This is scary medicine, and I tried to get a different one and couldn’t because it is a controlled substance. I told them I would drop the bottle off, and they said no."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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 because it really does nothing, like at all, no effect or anything. It does nothing, I promise you. Ibuprofen works like 14 times better."

For Pain "Stopped taking all pain meds due to horrible itching and sweating in April 2024, despite pain levels reaching 8 or 9. Can’t stand the itching due to mast cell release of histamine. Had two teeth pulled in November, and the surgeon gave me acetaminophen-codeine. What a lifesaver. Controlled my tooth pain, yes, but also took my back pain to a reasonable level. Went back to pain management and asked for Tylenol 3’s. The doctor okayed it, and I’m back down in the 3-4 pain range with NO itching. Hallelujah! This medication is just what the doctor ordered (pun intended)!"

For Pain "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 9 pm, and it's almost midnight and hasn't 'kicked in' yet. So I've got to wait a bit to take ibuprofen. The pills I was prescribed don't show a mg, and the dentist's office told me that's the strongest they give! I am now wondering if the antibiotics they gave will even help!"

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."

For Pain "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 level 5/4 pain, but it made me severely nauseous, so I was switched to codeine. Do not recommend."

For Pain "I just started on these Tylenol with Codeine #3. I have had chronic pain since 2005 and have been on Norco for 8 years for fusions in my neck. My sister was dying in hospice, and I was packed to go be with her in her last days, and out of the blue, they called for a pill count. Mind you, they haven't called for a pill count in 8 years. And I said one cuss word to the girl because she said I may get kicked out, and they did because of me cussing - true story - so I had to find someone else and started me on Tylenol with Codeine. Useless for pain, the other doctor messed me up."
