Is it bad to take Excedrin (after drinking alcohol all night) before bed?

Tylenol and alcohol are bad on your liver.  Best to wait the next morning to take Excedrin.  Drink plenty of fluids, especially room temperature Gatorade, as it restores the dehydration from the alcohol, plus it restores the electrolytes.  The reason for it being room temp is that anything ice cold can make you sick to your stomach.  Eat a light meal, but drink loads of Gatorade.  Good Luck!!  I feel for you as I have been down that path before, lol.  Not sure about aspirin and alcohol... Try going to www.webmd as that is a great site for medical questions.

No, but what is harmful is the daily pain that is causing you to take excedrin every day.  If you are having pain that doesn't go away after a few days, or daily headaches, you should be seen by a doctor soon.

Hon, you shouldn't drink alcohol while on those types of drugs anyway. If you are feeling really bad, go to the ER. They can help you more than anyone here can.

It is a bad, bad practice. I don't think it will hurt her, but acetaminophen (Tylenol) HAS been known to cause liver problems if you take too much.\n\nI used to do the exact same thing (except I am an adult), and eventually the Tylenol PM just stopped working. Maybe the same will happen to her.

Excedrin (otherwise called Acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine)\n\n"Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer.\n\nAspirin is in a class of drugs called salicylates. It works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.\n\nCaffeine is used in this product to increase the pain relieving effects of acetaminophen and aspirin.\n\nTogether, acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine are used to treat pain from conditions such as headache (including migraine), muscle aches, menstrual cramps, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds and sinus infections.\n\nAcetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide."\n\nThe quote above is from the link listed.

I'm not a doctor or pharmacist but I work in a pharmacy. I know that an excess of vicodin can cause liver damage. But if you only take 2 a day of the regular strength vicodin it should be OK. Talk to your doctor or call a pharmacist (they are very helpful and are everywhere) and ask them about your usage.

Yes.\n\nThink of it this way: Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine commonly used for allergies. Antihistamines have a side effect of drowsiness so potent that antihistamines are commonly used as the active ingredient in OTC sleeping pills.\n\nIf someone had taken 60 sleeping pills at once would you have even stopped to ask this question?\n\nYes, 60 can cause sedation so severe it can kill. In children it may have a paradoxical effect.

After researching the drug and its common side effects, I did not see mention anything involving alcohol. However, to be on the safe side, make sure your prescription bottle does not have any labels specifically telling you NOT to drink, and then for good measure call your pharmacist. They should be able to tell you right away if drinking will cause you any harm.

If you take an anti-alcohol drug and THEN drink alcohol, I believe you'll be vomiting. If you're an alcoholic thinking about a drink, DON'T DO IT.

Excedrin.  No one in my family has had a headache that wasn't feeling better within 10 minutes of taking Excedrin (aspirin)\n\nTylenol, Aleve..........none of that works for me.

Advair is not known to react with alcohol in any significant way such that your evening cocktails could cause a negative side effect.  The worst case scenario is that the alcohol may reduce the effectiveness of the drug.  Of course, you should avoid driving or similar activities when under the influence of alcohol, and even more so when combining alcohol with drugs.\n\nIn terms of "not waking up", you have nothing to worry about :)

It is best to hold off on that alcoholic drink for four hours after taking your vitamins.  Alcohol interferes with the metabolism of most vitamins, and reduces the absorption of amino acids, glucose, zinc and vitamins in the small intestine.

you should NOT take 2 more.....too much tylenol builds in the system and taxes on the liver.......you will become drowsy.......it is best to wait  it out or take 400 mg. of motril or advil......these are in a different catagory as tylenol and work in a different way on your system......if you don't have motrin in the house or available to you at this time.....drink half a glass of milk and try napping in a dark  and quiet room for a couple hours.......good luck!

Liver damage, as previously stated. However, the effects are magnified drastically in some people when acetaminophen is taken while alcohol is present in the system -- to the point where even two or three standard tablets can cause liver failure.

It is for the short-term use of those who are having difficulty sleeping, or for 'fixing' the disorientating effects of jet lag. There are varying strengths in the form of the self-explanatory 'One a night' and 'Two a night', the former being stronger than the latter. There is also a herbal brand.\n\nIt is potentially dangerous to take Nytol with alcohol, or to take more than the recommended dosage, and those on other medication or pregnant women need to seek medical advice before using Nytol. As with any other sleeping pill, one should never drive after taking a dosage. Long term usage is also discouraged as tolerance to the effect occurs over a couple of weeks. Diphenhydramine is not addictive. Nytol should never be given to children under the age of 16.\n\nTaking more than the recommended amount is dangerous and medical help should be sought in the event of a suspected overdose of this medication.

Not bad.  Just do EXACTLY what they tell you to do after-wards and you should be fine.  And make sure you get good, powerful painkillers for after. \n\nI know people who ate steak for dinner the same day!!\n\nHave them knock you out.  Unless you want to hear and see what they're doing.\n\nImpacted teeth that have to be cracked cause more pain after.  I had two.  \n\nStock up on ice cream, jello, soup, soft foods, mashed potatoes are good. foods you don't have to chew!
