I was wondering if taking tylenol PM for a long time would have any negative consequences on your body. I've recently had trouble getting to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night a lot. So now I started taking Tylenol PM to help me get a good night's sleep. Is there anything wrong with this? It says it's non-habit forming and is not a narcotic. |

I had mentioned to my doctor that I was having trouble sleeping. I was hoping he'd prescribe me something like Ambien, because I've tried it before and it really works. Almost too well. Anyways...he told me to try Tylenol PM. Haha...I was a little surprised by the suggestion but it definitely works. Also dramamine puts me out as well. So I think you're safe with Tylenol PM seeing as how my Dr. recommended it. If you are worried about it being habit-forming though, then go ahead and give your Doc a call and ask for their advice. |

Tylenol turns to morphine in your liver and basically eats away at it; yes it is bad, as all drugs are. Learn to meditate, it is worth it in the long run. You can save your body and strengthen your mind all at once. |

This is a big over-generalization. Yes, it's almost always better if you can find relief from a problem without drugs, but many drugs are life savers. I certainly wouldn't say Tylenol or Ambien was a life-saver, but many people are on drugs without which their health would be severely compromised, regardless of any meditation or holistic methods that might be employed. |

Wow Tylenol really turns to morphine? Never heard that before. But Tylenol PM says on its bottle that its not addictive, so I think it would be alright to take it every once in a while. |

The liver heals very well. As long as you aren't on any permanent meds or drink everyday, you are okay. Just always be wary of taking any drug on a regular basis; especially more than one. |

Does anyone remember that documetary about McDonalds, Super Size Me? The guy that did it had his liver turned entirely to fat. Isnt that crazy? They seaid the damage might not be permenant. |

Depends on how long and how much you take. The drug in tylenol PM that makes it "PM" is Diphenhydramine, which is nearly completley harmless. Though what VERY FEW know is that it is a deliriant (dramamine as well), and the twin-brother of dramamine (but twice as powerful). I have noticed some strange dreams and lethargy with 25-100mg diph, at those doses it works fine for a occassional sleep aid. Taking tylenol PM just for going to sleep isn't really smart anyway, Acetaminophen is hard on your liver in excessive use. And can in fact be addictive, after a week or two of daily use you will notice a headache if you don't take it. One of my friends girlfiend took Tylenol every day for a couple months for headaches, which for the latter part were caused by the addiction to tylenol. Then she had a lovely seizure and we had to call an ambulance. If you insist on using this get some benadryl as it is just diphenhydramine. |
