"when i got my wisdom teeth pulled out by my dentist, he prescribed me 30mg codeine 3x daily, along with promethazine 25mg 3x daily. he couldn&#039;t prescribe me norco, percocet, or any other narcotic that contained nsaids, esp apap (tylenol) because i have liver problems. 
it worked great! at first, the codeine wasn&#039;t enough, but when i got a script for promethazine on top of the codeine, it worked wonders. killed all the pain. i was real happy because i didn&#039;t need a dose raise from the narcotic. codeine is an excellent pain medication for moderate pain."
