Advice & Tips
Tylenol with codeine has no effect on my migraines or cluster headaches, but works wonders for muscle aches and spasms when they're enough to keep me awake at night. I usually take it 30 minutes before bed so that when it makes me drowsy, I can just lay down and not worry about it. I never use this before a day of work, for fear of not waking up to the alarm.

Advice & Tips
I found an over-the-counter drug (Advil extra strength capsule) that did the job better.

Advice & Tips
The Tylenol 3 was effective at reducing the pain, and usually provided relief for several hours.
If the pain was acute at bedtime or I was sleep-deprived, I might take 1/2 or whole 5 mg tablet Oxycodone at bedtime as needed. One tablet usually resulted in a good sleep.
If pain was less acute during day, I might take one 400 mg tablet Advil Extra Strength as needed.
For me, this medication is very affective for my major Jaw pain, and it kicks in extremely fast, but this medication did cause me to become very tired.
