From migraines, to horrible monthly cramps.

Crazy when I think about it...It allowed me to function normally through some of the worst moments of life.

I am, thankfully, a perfectly healthy 51 yr old and 2 hrs ago I woke with a sickening headache from 3 days of hard yard work.

All gone now.

Got to thinking...

I should say..."Thank

you Tylenol."" Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Fever "Great if you have a fever.

But if you need pain relief, This will not help.

I found It does work better if you have a cup of coffee with it, Otherwise see your doctor for real pain relief.

Never take more than the recommended dosage.

It can destroy your liver."

Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Pain "I was prescribed 1 gram (2 extra strength) by mouth every 4-6 hours for a severe tooth problem, cracked tooth in half, until I see my dentist on Friday.

(It is Tuesday.)

Does absolutely nothing for the pain. "

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) for Pain "I have found Tylenol and other equivalents to be relatively ineffective in reducing pain associated with my Degenerative Disk Disease (Neck Pain, Severe Headaches, Lower Back Pain).

I have had some success with tramadol coupled with muscle relaxants, Tylenol with codeine and Vicodin (5 and 7.5 mg).

I also had good results with Aleve, until I started to have stomach problems."

For Sciatica "My doctor insisted I take acetaminophen in spite of me telling him it has never helped with any pain I have ever had, and surprise!

It had no effect on my severe sciatica pain either.

I do not know why doctors keep prescribing it considering there are studies readily available to anyone who can read, that have proven that acetaminophen is no better than placebo when it comes to back pain relief (the Cochrane Reviews), AND "Analysis of national databases show that acetaminophen-associated overdoses account for about 50,000 emergency room visits and 25,000 hospitalizations yearly."

(Dr. Aric Hausknecht, a New York neurologist and pain management specialist.)

My experience is that it does not work and I can read

so I know it is ineffective period and is dangerous; and I am astonished and offended when a medical professional who should know better tells me to take it for any reason."

Tylenol Arthritis Pain (acetaminophen) for Pain "My doctor will not prescribe medication for my fibromyalgia and arthritis pain.

He told me to take Tylenol Arthritis.

Well, it works sometimes, but most of the time it barely touches the pain.

If I take aspirin with it, it works better.

But I am still in a lot of pain.

I do not like using creams, because I had a cat die from Icy Hot poisoning, so that is not really an option.

I need something else."

Tylenol 8 Hour (acetaminophen) for Pain "I use it a few times per week for pain flares with my chronic pain.

It seems to work better than extra strength and longer.

I do not need to rely on my oxycodone as much now that I take this for some pain flares.

That being said, not every pain flare is the same and I end up still using one of my oxycodone.

I am allowed up to 4 per day, but now I take one or two since I started to use Tylenol 8 hour.

I use the store brand of it too and it works just as well."

Tylenol Extra Strength (acetaminophen) for Pain "I had my rotator cuff repaired and I was sent home with a block in my arm that did not even last 24 hours.

Also I was sent home with a liquid bulb of pain medicine around my neck with the tubing inserted into my shoulder.

In less than 24 hours the tubing leaked twice and finally just fell out.

I had one pain medicine prescription.

I had to half each one into 4.

It was terrible pain and the doctors advised me to take extra strength Tylenol.

It does noting for me.

I do not understand why there is a push to take Tylenol.

I am certain Tylenol would work for me if I exceeded the recommended does.

Thus, why so many people have liver damage.

Tylenol and extra strength Tylenol is like taking nothing.

I even tried going without it and then taking Tylenol.

No difference!!!

Nothing!!"

Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Sciatica "Tylenol did zero to help my Sciatic nerve pain, although it is helped in the past with other issues.

- nothing else prescribed helped either but oddly enough Mocha flavoured monster drink would remove about 80% of the pain for about 5-8 hours.

I have no idea why but it is the only relief I get.(except hot showers help too it seems)"

For Pain "I am unable to take NSAIDs so when I have severe headaches/migraines and body pains, I take Tylenol (or a generic acetaminophen, they act the same for me).

Have done so since I was a kid, and I have always been careful to follow the dosage directions.

My main issue has always been how long it takes to kick in, regardless of the brand.

If I am lucky, my pain will start to go away after half an hour.

Usually it will take at least an hour to start working, and in worst cases it will take two or more hours.

The pain does go away, but with the side effect of feeling 'out of it'--foggy and a little clumsier, like I am only 2/3 there.

But I would much prefer to feel that than having the severe pain.

I have learned to take it when I can feel a mild headache getting worse, so that by the time it hits severe, the medicine will have kicked in.

It is best to take with food, because on an empty stomach, there will be some bad nausea right after."

Tylenol Cool Caplet Extra Strength (acetaminophen) for Pain "Took one capsule before going to bed for a week to help sleep (arthritis).

Had a reaction of hypertension and tachycardia.

Stopped taking anything extra beside regular meds.

Took it again about a month later.

Had the same reaction, only much worse.

Ended up in the OR.

Realized what the because was.

I have never taken anymore and condition has not returned after three months.

My doctors were not aware of this reaction from Tylenol until I found this site."

For Sciatica "acetaminophen works for my Sciatica mine.

I get them from a medical professional.

I use them until I can get a cortisone shot.

showers do help.

Many over doses are caused by people taking the same medicine so you have to make sure you do not go over the prescribed daily dosage.

I need to eat to keep from having a upset tummy.

Also with any aspirin you are suppose to drink milk not water."

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) for Pain "Administered an IV bolus of 600mg of Paracetamol to a patient in severe to moderate pain and patient suddenly started sleeping off but that was not expected

so I checked and found the pulse unrecordable and BP not measurable.

Quickly gave and IV bolus of saline and restored vitals and subsequently monitored patient for the next six hours.

I think the effect of rapid administration IV should be hammered on."

Tylenol (acetaminophen) for Fever "This is great.

I have had a small pain in my head when I woke up this morning and decided to ignore it.

It started getting worse and I realized I was developing a fever around 5:00PM.

Even though I had the help of my younger sister to try and reduce the fever and headache, it just has not gone away entirely.

I was unable to figure out a way to reduce the pain I was in so I called my mother and told her the pain I was in.

Conveniently enough, my mother mentioned that we did have Tylenol at home.

I went to the room that she told me I would find it in.

I found the Tylenol and downed a pill with water.

In just a minute or two, the pain has basically completely vanished and my fever has been reduced greatly."

For Pain "Tylenol PM helps me so much with my pain at night because at night my back pain is the worst and every once in a while I take a Tylenol PM and I feel great and can sleep well

and I also feel better the next couple days.

"

Tylenol 8 Hour (acetaminophen) for Pain "I used to take regular Tylenol two at a time, when I needed I got up to taking 3 to 4 times a day.

I switched to taking the 8 hour version and it really works fairly well.

It is OTC medicine and reasonable price and it works."

Tylenol Extra Strength (acetaminophen) for Pain "This is called "extra strength" but it does NOTHING?

Every six hours because it is a big, bad painkiller.

I cannot take anything but Tylenol right now and that is really, really sad.
