User Comments about Tylenol + Codeine
06 Jan 2012 Really like this medication for pain relief. Works well for headaches, but not for other aches and pain. Like capsule more than tablets that are chalky.

07 Sep 2011 It was a good pain killer but for some reason it made me itch.

29 Aug 2011 This was very effective for my pain, but in addition it caused drowsiness and felt i could only take it at night just before bed. I would recomend taking this only at night since it does not allow you to function normally. It could be that I was not used to taking it.
