I have a migraine and am considering taking my Tylenol #3 (I've never taken it before). I have a 4 month old daughter to take care of and don't want taking it to affect my ability to take care of her. I know it can make me tired, but how tired are we talking? Will it cause me to pass out, or just makes me a little more groggy?

if you have never taken tylenol #3 then would suggest you start with half a tablet, taken with food, wait an hour and if you are not too sedated, take the other half tab, and so on until you have had two whole tablets in four hours.

Yes why have you put this question in the section but never mind. If you do some research on some decent medical sites you will see that codeine is quite a powerful pain reliever of the opiate family. Now 2 things spring to mind that you really need to know. Firstly long term use will block your body's natural painkillers (endorphins) and so when the drug wears off you will be in slight pain. This is why we are advised not to take codeine for a slight headache or any trivial pain as it may make things worse; this could therefore be affecting your neck in a negative way. The second thing is that all drugs have side effects and should never be taken for stupid reasons. Do some work and put side effects+codeine in to Google, you will see that these are not any fun! Lastly get a life and stop messing with substances you foolish child.

Can't really say how tired it will make you. That depends on how tolerate you are to codeine.
