Has anyone found that taking Tylenol PM kept them awake rather than put them to sleep?

I was able to take this medication successfully for some time and then I began to wake up with a tingling feeling in my arms and legs, and an edgy feeling that lasted for hours.  This, of course, was contrary to what I was trying to accomplish, so I do not take it anymore.  I did try it a few times afterwords just to verify that it wasn't an isolated response, and had the same symptoms.  \n\nThis being a mild allergic reaction, I wouldn't recommend anyone continuing to take any medication after this type of experience.\n\nYou might try plain "Benadryl" if you need a sleep aid, as it is the same medication without the Tylenol/acetaminophen, and see if it has the same effect.  I have had doctors prescribe 100 mg. at bedtime for a non-prescription sleep aid.  Otherwise, you would need to see your physician for a prescription medication for sleep.

Flu-like signs and symptoms are not uncommon (fever, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, chills, and joint pain) at the beginning of therapy.  Tylenol 650 mg. may be taken immediately before injection, and for another 24 hours after each injection to lessen these symptoms.  It's impossible to predict how long these symptoms will last (some people get them for the first month or two of therapy, and others have them all the time).  One adverse effect of this drug is suicide tendency... if you think that your friend is in trouble, please contact your local suicide hotline for assistance.

You really should get a prescription migraine med that doesn't contain caffeine.  I take Imitrex, I have no problems sleeping with it and it stops a migraine in its track when you take it at the first sign.  Now that you have taken medication, I would take anything else to counteract it, you could cause an interactions.  Maybe take a super hot bath, that always gets me tired.

i work 7p-7a three nights a week in trauma icu at a hospital-most of the time (fortunately) i'm so exhausted from running around taking care of the 12+ patients we have that i fall right into bed and i'm out-but occasionally i'm wide awake\n\ni used to work 2nd shift too 3p-11p and would also find myself wide awake when i got home.\n\ni read someone suggesting nyquil-it will make you sleep but has alcohol among other medications that are unneccesary for your body b/c you don't have cold or flu symptoms-plus i've always woken up groggy and my sinuses are icky if i take that.\n\nbenadryl or tylenol pm works best. neither are habit forming and i always wake up feeling rested after taking them. if you don't feel comfortable using medication-then try a nice hot bath or shower and a glass of warm milk-this sometimes makes me sleepy too  : )

I had to have two of my sons teeth capped when he was 2 and he was uncomfortable the first day but they had to sedate him to do it so for the first 2 hours after he was sleeping and then I just alternated tylenol and motrin.  Make sure you have plenty of jell-o.  And for those who just left comments on why she needs caps...at least she is being a responsible mother getting her child to the dentist many don't until they are older.  Good for you Mom!!!!!!

Women's Tylenol works great for me. Besides that, the best thing is Motrin.

Tylenol is fine to take with BP meds.

No-well I guess if it's a REALLY strong one you could sleep for awhile but not 3 days.  Everyboey reacts differently to med's if I take a benedryl I"m out in 1/2 hour if my hubby does he is amped.  It all depends on your body.\nBe careful

Staring at a computer screen for too wrong... reading for too long... not getting enough sleep... putting the music on my headphones up too loud... I have a bit of one right now, but I can't say bye to my music! There's always Tylenol... :-)

I was told this is safe to do, alternating every 2 hours.  (EG 10 am take advil, noon take tylenol, 2 pm take advil, etc.) And so you don't exceed the daily requirements of either.  However, vicodin is pretty high powered stuff, so I would make a quick call to your doctor or pharmacy about this first.

Stop, think, then choose Tylenol!

I understand what you are talking about. I have suffered with severe pain most of my life. Probably because I was 'allowed' to feel tired, but not pain, I now feel pain as exhaustion. Extreme exhaustion. \nFollowing some back surgery I was given vicodin. One pill and I suddenly felt OK! After I had healed from the surgery they stopped my prescription and suddenly I couldn't find the energy to move. A very thoughtful doctor who understood what was happening has renewed my prescription and I use it VERY sparingly, aware that any misuse will result in my losing this key to some kind of normalcy. I have been on it for several years. When I begin to feel like I am dragging and can't move anymore I take a pain pill and suddenly I can think and work.\n\nTry discussing this with your doctor. If he doesn't understand, look for one who does. Don't give up becuase you know by now that there is a problem and it is up to you to make others see and understand it.\nGood luck.\n\nBTW, I have tried most depression meds. They have had no effect. And unfortunately, most pain pills don't have much effect either. But the pain and the depression are connected.

melantonin works quickly and is safe...and you don't feel groggy the next morning.  It helps your internal "clock"...non addictive...available at any drugstore or wal*mart

It's all in his head.  The ingredients in Tylenol PM are NOT addictive.  So if he thinks he can't fall asleep without them--he won't.  All it is is Tylenol and Benedryl.  That's it.
