No. Heavy use of Tylenol 3 would have withdrawal symptoms. He/she is taking ONE to four a day, this is not enough to cause an extreme physical addiction. It can happen, but withdrawal symptoms depend on use, mgs of opiate and how many. This person would have to really be eating them down to feel withdrawal that is intense. It wouldn't compare to heroin WD. Tylenol 3's are the lowest form of a painkiller, next to OTC meds; it's like comparing wine coolers to hard liquor. The trace of opiate is very miniscule. One handful of T3 doesn't even equate to a couple 5mg Vicodin. It is still an opiate (extremely "watered down form) but even so, no one should play with them, for fun.
I'm addicted to Tylenol w/codeine. Is it normal?
