BurdenNot at all hard to take
Dosage:
2600 mg
Three times daily
Advice & Tips:
Don't take too much if 1,000mg isn't helping. If this dose doesn't help, 2,000mg or more.
I took 2,400mg (Tylenol 4) still didn't get much relief. The tiny bit of relief was from the 480mg of codeine.
NEVER TAKE THIS MUCH CODEINE!
I have such a ridiculous tolerance for opioids that average pain medication does nothing with the normal dose. This amount can KILL some people. If it doesn't kill, you'll get very sick.

BurdenNot at all hard to take
Dosage:
As needed
Advice & Tips:
I only use Tylenol when I need it BADLY! I depend more on my prescription medications than I do Tylenol because it can cause liver damage if taken to much to often. When I do take it, it does help with the swelling and the pain in my feet, hips, back. It doesn't take all the pain away, but it makes the pain tolerable.
