Cofeefan – Vicodin and Tylenol with Codeine are NOT the same thing. Vicodin is Tylenol mixed with Hydrocodone, which is a codeine derivative but is 6 times stronger when taken orally than codeine is. The trade name Vicodin actually was coined from the Roman numeral VI (6) + codeine to indicate its 6-fold superior strength.
And now to anecdotal evidence: when I got mine out I used Vicodin and it did a very good job.
And an interesting piece of trivia: overdosing on either Tylenol w/ Codeine or Vicodin is more dangerous because of the Tylenol than the other ingredient (both of which are narcotics).
