I was given a short course of Tylenol #3 with Codeine for pain following a dental procedure. It helped, but was not as helpful as Vicodin. I would say this drug would be good for less acute/severe pain, while Vicodin would be better for stronger pain control.

Do not like the dizzy feeling after taking it. Is there any other sleep enhancement that does not have codeine or other addictive drug?

Put my back out and it's been a month. Regular Tylenol Arthritis 8 hour meds didn't help. The Tylenol3 took the edge off so I could move around. Only issue is the really bad stomach pains despite taking them with food. Reduced pain a lot in my back but then just hurt my stomach.

This is a useless medication. It doesn’t relieve pain and only makes people sicker with all of the side effects.

Extremely effective method of pain relief. I have endometriosis and take this for my periods. The only things I don't like are the feeling of them (the high) and the wicked constipation.

I was prescribed this medicine for a tooth ache and thought it would help me until I visit my oral surgeon. I took it as stated, every four hours depending on pain and I have not seen any relief as of yet from my toothache. It seems to ease for a temporary relief but I can still feel all the pain as before. Maybe it works better for mild or moderate pain definitely not for a severe tooth ache.

The first time I was prescribed T3 I had just had part of my toenail removed and it worked out well for the pain, I could only feel the pressure from swelling put again no pain. This week I was prescribed it again for pain caused by a severe tooth infection, same results, no pain just the feeling of pressure. This time however I am experiencing side effects, specifically nausea. I cannot blame it entirely on the T3 though as my two other prescriptions for the same tooth also have nausea as a side effect. I will say that it seems to be lasting longer than I was lead to believe because I have only taken it before bed and donâ??t need the second dose in the morning as recommended.Read More Read Less

I(f20) just got my wisdom teeth taken out and I am post op day one, they prescribed this to me after surgery and when my IV started wearing off, I took one T3 and it helped my pain moderately, I took another one (as prescribed, you can take 1-2 every 8 hours) and it helped a lot more. I haven't slept well at all though despite scheduling the T3s before I sleep (I took one before bed.) which is disappointing but not unexpected. Today I have been taking one T3 every 8 hours and my pain is manageable and I do not feel the need to take two anymore. I also do not have any feelings of addiction but I will tailor off this medication on the third to fourth day to avoid that or as my pain lessons. Addiction also runs in my family so I feel relieved that I am fine. I hope this review helped you and I should also mention I got all four removed and I have a good pain tolerance... in my opinion. Anyways thank you.Read More Read Less

Dentist love prescribing this because it makes them feel like they're doing something. It does absolutely nothing for me. Nothing.

I've been taking tylenol 3s for a week now. I was prescribed them after getting my bottom two wisdom teeth removed. They do well to get rid of the pain, for about 2-3 hours. Which is stupid as they're supposed to work for 4-6. After they wear off they seem to enhance the pain I'm trying to get rid of. They also give me extreme constipation, nausea and stomach pains.

I was prescribed this after having bunion surgery. There was little, if any, pain relief. I had to go to the ER (unrelated issue) while on this medication and the doctor there told I might as well just take regular Tylenol instead of this

Instead of relaxing me I got agitated. The codeine got rid of my inhibitions but increased my anger.I violently snapped at the delivery guy for being 4 hours later then he should have been.codeine should calm you down.then I went to attack the pharmacist for giving me pills laced with crap.thank god i stopped myself. I don't believe that these pills don't have something added to keep people from enjoying them.time on meds 1 day.

This medication is a joke. They gave it to me for sciatica or pain from my lower back to the foot. One side onlyl. I have been suffering for 2 weeks now and I can cay say that it kind of effective after 30 minuter of taking 1 pill. It lasts only about 40 minutes. It only reduces the pain a little bit. You continue suffering.

Switched over from Vicodin to Tylenol #3 for moderate to severe back pain. Pain usually goes away within 20 minutes one pill usually last all day or night.
