This medication does help with the pa8in of arthritis but it keeps me awake! This is most surprising but have learned not to take it late in the day.

Been taking Tylenol Arthritis for about a week now. The first dose of 2 tablets on an empty stomach made me nauseous for an hour. The pain was gone 20 min. after taking. Day 2 I ate breakfast before taking and took only 1 tablet. Still felt a little nauseous and the pain wasn't completely gone.

Been taking Tylenol Arthritis for about a week now. The first dose of 2 tablets on an empty stomach made me nauseous for an hour. The pain was gone 20 min. after taking. Day 2 I ate breakfast before taking and took only 1 tablet. Still felt a little nauseous and the pain wasn't completely gone. So I took one Tylenol Extra strength 500 mg. 15 minutes later the pain was gone. The cap twist off easier on the Tylenol Extra Strength bottle than the Tylenol Arthritis cap does. Day 3 I took two Tylenol Extra Strength 500 mg tablets 10 min. before eating breakfast. The pain was completely gone without the nauseous feeling. After dinner around bedtime I took one Tylenol Arthritis tablet; it helped me sleep better and I didn't wake up with any pain. If the Tylenol Arthritis 650 mg didn't have the nauseating side effect that other reviews and me have experienced it would receive a 5 star rating. However, as my doctor say's, "people react differently to the same medication. What's good for some people may affect you differently or not be good for you." Tylenol Arthritis tablets work good in my case 15-20 minutes later the pain is gone. I eat something before taking to offset the nauseous feeling though. It reminds me of the feeling I used to get after taking Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 7.5-325 mg After an hour or so the nauseating feeling subsides but I would have to eat a snack and have a cup of coffee to feel less nauseous and less drowsy. I used to take prescription medications: Meloxicam 15 mg 1 pill daily. That has a lot of side effects. Took that for 3 years. It worked and I didn't experience any of the side effects but I was concerned about the danger of them. So I stopped using it and tried Diclofenac tablets 250 mg. It helped some but not enough to get rid of pain. Then I tried Celebrex it didn't help and then tried Naproxen Sodium tablets generic for Aleve. That didn't work to well. Currently using Diclofenac Sodium Topical gel 1%. I hope this helps.

I do not like Tylenol but it is the only pain reliever I can use at this time. I am in tears by the time I open the "child resistant" cap. why do you need to use a child resistant cap on a medication for people with arthritis. I have very little strength in my arthritic hands. If my family are here, I have them open the bottle. Otherwise, I sometimes have to go without any pain relie ... Show Full Comment

Although it did seem to help with the knee pain, every day about 30 minutes after I took it, I became extremely nauseous. Regular Tylenol doesn't affect me this way. I don't know what's in this that's not in regular Tylenol, but I can't continue to take it. The pain control is not good enough to be nauseous for an hour every day.

The 1st 24 hours after taking the medication it began to take effect and by the end of the 2nd day I could tell that around 80% of the pain was gone. My wife now takes it for similar condition and also has been getting the same relief.
